How did you begin to trust your knee again?
It's 2 years today since my traumatic 9th patella dislocation, and even though I'm 6 months post-op from MPFL Reconstruction, I'm having huge difficulty trusting my knee again.
Let me know if you have any tips for things that worked for you! Has anyone tried counselling and/or CBT and did it work?
I feel like I need to rewire my brain after 20+ years of dislocations, especially when the dislocations happened so easily from everyday activities (bending and twisting to pick things up or put washing in the machine), and my last dislocation stayed out for an excruciating 3hrs 😱
Any stories, tips and/or advice appreciated. The PTSD, anxiety and lack of confidence is haunting. I'd love to return to normal life without constantly having to think or worry about my knee letting me down.
