Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 If you don't mind me asking... What type of ligament damage did you suffer? Currently, my ligaments are in dire need of stretching. So it looks like my knees are bent all the time. I am keeping them stretched so I have less surgical complications once I do get a replacement. Surgery may happen next spring as I have the possibility of a free semester off. I also looked at my knees last night after posting and they are quite swollen, which may be the culprit...THIS TIME.
