I so comprehend!!!!!!! I've had four knee surgical procedures adding 2 lateral releases. I had a lateral liberate approximately four years in the past (together with different approaches) and my knee stored mal-monitoring. I went again to PT a couple of occasions, however my quad, particularly my vastis medialis, could no longer get more potent. I ultimately needed to have one other surgical procedure , and are available to discover out, my lateral liberate had re-grown!! That occurs in lower than one million% of folks!!:( Any method, they needed to do a approach referred to as tibial tubercle switch, in which they moved my tibia 10 cm to the correct to hold my patella from dislocating whilst additionally re-doing the lateral liberate. My patella nonetheless movements round alot however has no longer dislocated considering. I nonetheless have situation w/ my quad, so I must put on a brace normally. Just hold up the PT and if it does not aid, ask your health care provider approximately what will also be performed!! Good Luck!!!

Sometimes when a knee has been scoped, the altered mechanics of the knee lead to further degeneration...it's definetly time to follow up with the doc...Have you had synvisc (or other brand name) injections as opposed to cortisone? It's frequently helpful for building up the joint space.
Pain upon trying to fully flex or extend the knee can be the result of further meniscus damage.
