| after a shot of steroids I can get to 90 deg. within 4 -5 mo. I am down to 65-70degrees. I can see why older people trip and fall, I am very careful when I am walking anywhere but a clean path. Corn stalks play hell with me not being able to bend a leg to walk over them.
I had a nasty staph infection right after my intial ACL replacement and about lost my leg because of the infection getting into the bone. It took 4 surgeries and most of my senior yr of high school to get that mess cleaned up correctly. I have so much scar tissue in my knee the doc can hadly get the needle in for injections. I am 39 and they will not do a knee replacement until I am at least 42. I have been thru all of the possible fixes, now it is just buying time. The steroids help for about 4-5 months then I get another shot. It will eventully ruin the joint, but we werent starting with much to get ruined. I hope Obamacare will let me have a knee when I get there!!!
