3 frequently asked questions about acl surgery
Friday Nov 6, 2009 Do I really need surgery?
few things that affect this answer. Do you plan to play sports, or doing less stressful on the knees or to give them happy? If you can give the sport is rough on the knees, surgery may be without you. Your knees “not” is a lot going out? If surgery is not the best solution would probably have little control of it. If you try to rehabbing your knee, your work, please I want to wear a brace to see you. Location of your knee to keep in mind, every time you go, the more damage is done. It took me, I’m a bit disappointed about is the root of it. I’ve been doing that the damage could be avoided.
What should I anesthesia or local?
work either way. On both sides of the fence is better than the one who can teach one another. Always, please do not listen to this very personal preference. If you use general anesthesia, the consciousness, no memory of the surgery. It feels like you are, I would be more than just a wink surgery. No negative impact on some people in general anesthesia. It’s your stomach for several days, you can become sick. Doctors do not know the exact reason, because there is no general anesthesia or how many, but not always a slight risk. Some people wake up they are not afraid. However, the risk is very, very small.
can be specified in different ways for couples to a local anesthetic. Is either epidural or spinal. They are very similar. Is injected into the backs of both. As a result, pain signals from reaching the brain is not from your knees. They are blocked by local anesthesia. This “awakening” will be able to receive surgery. Now I was “awake,” he says you can choose the level of consciousness. You and I have not noticed yet, you can choose from one operation to a local anesthetic to remember one thing. This is done by giving a sedative. The anesthesiologist will probably require the level of what you want.
1. Wake up, respond, sweat.
2. Wake up, little, know not to worry.
3. Wake up, will not be recognized.
4. Announced. Cases, is waking up during surgery, would not mind, but probably do not remember waking up anyway (they have a sedative to sleep enough, that is.)
you do not feel pain in physical therapy and how hard?
in bad physical therapist is not all. Are some things easier, some are hard. That one is a little painful extension and flexion exercise. And after a while, they are not actually much worse. I, the Portuguese (physical therapy) is the worst they have had to cry every time it is my experience that people who had heard many horror stories. Is going to get tougher exercises, it is felt that some good work.
