Precautions to perform arthroscopy

A year ago I made a very strong sprain playing football and after making rehabilitation and seeing that they did not improve they decided that they had to make me an arthroscopy due to the injuries I have in 3 ligaments
My question is, do I have to take some kind of care with the wounds that will cause me when the arthroscopy will make me?

The subject has a bit worried, although the control of diabetes is good, when I make a wound it takes me a lot to heal

With keeping glycemia on good levels you do not have to be more careful than the normal of a non -diabetic person.

Hi Bambi13
Do you have the triad?: o: shock: meniscus and ligaments ???or only ligaments?

Precisely arthroscopy has the advantage of being a technique that requires little "cut", they are small perforations in the knee and to repair the lesions they use endoscopic techniques so the scars are minimal.

As Alea says, against your glycemia and your glycosilada more difficult it will be healing.

The injury is in the ankle.
In the resonance it also makes me that I have a brunette medullary edema. All this was 1 year ago and to know how edema is
The glycosilada rose me a little because I cannot do aerobic exercise, I still have it at 7.2. What worries me that with glycosylated 6, 6.2 when I had a wound it took me a lot to heal.

Well, I am already operated. I had partial breaks in the ligaments, bone with spill and synovitis. Well, one of the ligaments, which welded badThey cured perfectly
I walked in crutches for a week and the traumatologist recommended me to do a series of exercises with the foot, but he did not send me to go to any physiotherapist who was what was surprised. Today the only thing that improved was the movement of the foot, nothave it swollen, the bad is the pain that I still have in the same place
I am quite discouraged due to the pain that I still have and all I think is that it is because of the diabetes. They would not tell me how long it would take time to be recovered but I have been 2 months after the operation

Diabetes I doubt that it is the cause of pain.
The pain must be a consequence, or the injury, well of a non -perfect operation, or the lack of adequate rehabilitation.

My recommendation is that you go to the traumatologist and, if it does not convince you, change your specialist, that you are in your right.You surely need some type of rehabilitation.

Thanks alea for answering. Monday I have an appointment with the traumatologist and I will insist to send me to a physiotherapist because everyone tells me that they would have to send me after 2-3 first weeks after the operation
With this problem in the foot I have been 1 years and 2 months and they decided to operate 2 months ago.I had shattered and the binding of the ligaments that I had partially broken. He told me that I had a problem with the lactic acid, because I told him that my muscles were tired when I exercised, but I did not understand what it was. He put me with a dietAnd he gave me a series of massages from the twin to the foot and the only thing I did was to lose weight, give me downtown and spend a lot of hunger but the foot remains the same.

I had a very strong sprain in an ankle years ago and it took a long time to cure, only based on strengthening exercises I could recover.You will have to be patient with this issue and make the rehabilitation that they send you.I am not a diabetic, but it spent a lot of time until it stopped hurting and years until it recovered completely.

With partial ligament rupture and do not send you to enhance your muscles?: Shock:

And the diabetes I don't think it has much to do ... if the wound has healed you well, why wasn't the rest of the structures the same?

You are right. I don't know how they did not send me to a physiotherapist from the beginning. The only thing that they sent me to do was rubbing movements and it already hurts me when doing this

After a year and a half of the operation I found a good physiotherapist that took my problem very seriously. After several months strengthening the ligaments and the leg muscles I could start running. Physio warned me that due to howI had the damaged ligament, my foot would not perform the entire movement when running and should be careful. After taking several months running, the foot was resenting again causing me a breakage in the sesamoid bone (under the big toe) causedBecause the foot does not perform all the movement. Physio recommended me to visit a podiatrist and now I have been testing a specifies to facilitate the movement and that the whole weight is distributed throughout the foot
