u/Feeling-Peanut-5415

Now 5 months out from Agili-C surgery for a giant 2 x 4cm defect in my lateral trochlea. Recovery has been up and down. I got back to basic functionality very quickly, but have yet to see much improvement in pain from pre-op. Recently got an MRI (due to continued pain and swelling) which showed cartilage starting to fill in and improvement in bone edema, doctor was pleased with the results. I think biking does feel a little better than pre-op, but other activities (yoga, certain strengthening exercises) feel worse. Tend to get swelling towards the end of the day regardless of activity, but especially if I overdo the squats and lunges. Running is my main exercise of choice, so we will see how it goes if I start to re-introduce that next month.
