hi, 2 years ago i had an acl reconstruction on my left knee. the surgery was successful and i have recovered well. recently i went for a routine check up, though i dint have any problem per se, the doctor advised an x ray. on examination, he said that i have medial compartment narrowing on both the knees and it could lead to arthritis further down the line. i am 26 years old, though overweight, i have always been an active sportsman. but the amount of sports has decreased after the surgery. does this diagnosis suggest a poor prognosis for the future, or is this medial compartment narrowing a normal tendency in active sportsmen? i was advised to take kondroflex as well.
Hi, Actually you don't need to worry if your past ACL reconstruction was successful, and you have done your physiotherapy exercises regularly that is common with a lot of my patients. I recommend you use SOME NSAIDs like Advil, topical muscle relaxants with hot comments or even massages are effective till your muscles regain their strength again.
