So I'm 15 weeks post op tomorrow.

The recovery has been challenging to say the least. I seen the surgeon in early January and he was concerned about my progress. He told me if I don't see improvement over the next 4-5 weeks he's going to go in and remove scar tissue and do a manual manipulation.

I've been working hard at it and last week I finally seen some real improvement. It was actually the Graston Technique (Breaks up scar tissue) performed by my massage therapist that had the best results. My flexion improved 12 degrees overnight, I was sore to the touch for a good 5-6 days but totally worth it. I have another appointment for more this Friday.

I see the surgeon next week so it will be interesting to see if he's happy with the progress or he's going to schedule the surgery to remove the scar tissue.

This injury is a tough one, I go to physio twice a week and RMT usually once a week on top of the exercises I do at home. I'm still limping although I can get around, grocery shopping ect...
