old fat fingers needs to find 10kg Member 192, 640 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 245 735.0 kgs @ 122.7kgs Eq	My knees have been quite bad for ages and just recently my left knee has got a lot worse. My osteopath seems to think that the cartilage is damaged and that I will kneed (sorry) to have some kind of operation done to fix it. It strikes me that, depending on what I end up having done, I will almost certainly benefit from a sympathetic consultant who understands about squatting heavy, etc. So... have any of you had any kind of knee op and, if so, how did it go, etc, etc. I guess the stuff I'd like to know includes: 1. Name of consultant/surgeon 2. Procedure done 3. Time off from lifting 4. Time to regain full strength Obviously don't go naming somebody and then say they're a useless c**t or you might end up in court. So far I know that a lot of top sports people (e.g. Joe Cole, Freddie Flintoff to name but two) use a guy called Andy Williams: http://www.drfosterhealth.co.uk/consultant-guide/Mr-Andrew-Mic... Has anybody got any useful info to share?

Hamstrings feel activated. Member 1107, 6964 posts SQ 220, BP 152.5, DL 252.5 625.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq	I ruptured my ACL playing Semi Pro football. I had surgery to treat a miniscus tear and was back squatting again 4 weeks later. I then had an ACL reconstruction. Both surgeries were conducted by Mr Jari from Euxton Hall in Chorley. I was running again in 8 weeks and playing football again in around 10 weeks. I started squatting at around 6 weeks, when the swelling had gone down. Being a closed chain exercise, it was highly recomended by Mr Jari and the physio team to squat heavy and squat often. Some great info here http://www.kneeguru.co.uk/KNEEtalk/index.php?board=17.0 Mr Jari http://www.thekneedoc.co.uk/the-kneedoc-surgeon
