It’s official- I’m an idiot. So I spent five days in full freak put mode- only to find out that my graft looks near perfect!!!! I am not released to run just yet- he wants me to be symptom free first. He will see me in six months. Apparently difficulty with stairs is perfectly normal. Symptoms of small amount of swelling and numbness normal. I made him point out everything on the MRI. Turns out that law school s not a substitute for medical school 🙂 I’m so relieved I could cry!

I really like your blog, I am considering the aci surgery versus microfracture but am leaning towards the aci. I am a former runner (half marathons) who desperately misses running. Unfortunately even if I have the surgery I have other health issue preventing me to run but I can dream? Thanks for posting along the way so I know what to expect, it’s nice to hear from someones view versus dr point of view.
Good Luck Jen! Not sure which procedure is better – I got the impression from talking to my doctor that microfracture is good for smaller lesions and recovery is a lot less painful. On the flip side – not sure the material created by the process is as strong as ACI. Hope it works out for you.
