7 months post op MACI
Not sure what to do hoping this Reddit forum might give me some ideas. I'm currently 7 months post op MACI on my medial femoral condyle. I also had an ACL reconstruction done 1 year ago on the same knee: everything went pretty well with the ACL but ever since I've had my MACI surgery I've been in so much pain. when I walk and bend my knee a certain way it catches, and certain PT exercises are painful. Sometimes I even have a sharp pain when just walking around. I can't run, squat or do any of that because of the sharp pain that comes from these activities. I feel hopeless. I haven't requested another mri from my doctor but that's my plan: I am a firefighter and feel like I won't be able to get back to doing my job if I have this pain. ive spoken to my doctor about the pain and catching and he is not helpful at all. Not sure what to do. Any suggestions?
