it's day 26 now there is still swelling at the back of the kneecap,

and pain just little above were the graft was taking,

and fever for the last two weeks which i treat my self and it comes back in few days

Pls doctors in the house should i Begin physical therapy again because I started therapy week 2,

but an incident happened which lead to the swelling a rug was rolled up and kept at one side of my room which unfortunately tried to fall on my extended leg and I forcefully grabbed it away avoiding it falling on my injured knee,

a sharp pain and shock like sensation from the kneecap, then swelling I've rested to two days now,

no moving around I use my crutches and the swelling is going at a very very small level
So my questions are

1) me resting for 2/3 days will that affect the knee coz I do no physical therapy and it's week 3 going to 4

2) should I use balms and ointment on the knee to reduce stiffness and swelling

My next follow is on Thursday I'm dying to have answers

So for the lengthy write-up and typos

Like this na fever dey disturb me

Are u serious? Baba abeg run go back go meet your doctor explain give am.
No carry ur knee play especially that swelling it doesn't look good.
Part of the therapy and recovery process would be resting and avoiding any stress on the leg at all.

Please go back to your doc mek dem no go cut your leg or make you begin dey limp on that leg

There have not been any functional HBOT centre in the land except in PH.

Our HBOT facility will reopen in November, 2023 since we are already on vacation.

HBOT is what the world class footballers use when their ligaments are torn or damaged.

Hope you will not attempt to massage a surgically repaired ligament.

Please how much was the surgery ?
