The patello-femoral joint :

I need some advice about a bi lateral release - - Posted by Kim_W (Kim_W), 19 January 2005

I had a bi lateral release of the patela on my right knee in early November.  I have been going to PT 3 times a week since 3 weeks post op, I still can't drive due to bone chilling pain under knee cap and my inner thigh still doesn't have full strength.  Last night when I got up from the couch to walk down the hall my knee buckled.  The reason I had the surgery was due to the buckling and pain.  Is my knee ever going to get better??  any help or advice anyone could give would be a great help.
