Re: Lateral renticular release.

[Guest guest]

Hey , I had a lateral release in March but

I didn't know he was going to do it until he got in

there and saw how bad the kneecap was out of alignment.

From what I understand, they cut a ligament or tendon

that pulls the patella out of line. It was a pretty

major surgery and it was swollen for about 2 months and

it hurt a lot. I dont really know that mine helped

but I dont think it hurt anything. The OS said he was

just trying to put off a replacement as long as

possible. Good luck with everything!

In regards to the alteral release. I had one done

on May 25th.. to this day I STILL have severe

swelling, am in a brace that extends from the thigh to the

middle of the shin, there are bars on the side which

keep me from having lateral movement. This is done

until I strenghthen the VMO muscle. I didnt know I was

having the lateral release done until he was in there

fixing a torn meniscus. I still have severe pain going

up and down stairs. I went to therapy a couple of

years ago to fix the chondromalacia, it didnt work. So

after I tore the meniscus and was in surgery for that,

the lateral release was done. I have had a good

experience with an EMS machine. What it does is help tighten

the muscles. These machine are available on the net

for a little over $100. If you have went to therapy

and ever had russian stem done, this is somewhat the

same just a little cheaper route. The only difference

is this has 4 electrodes compared to 2, and it does

not go as deep.. let me know if you want the address

on where to get it..<br><br>AJ

Bellana1, how is your knee? Are you still in therapy or did you have

a lateral release? I had my lateral release, pretty much thinking

that is was going to be a simple procedure, however, my pain level is

beyond belief!!! Today is better with the bone pain, but stiffness

has set in and I have been doing my exercises, I really wished that I

would not of had this done
