bi-lat PF syndrome, arthroscopy

[bailey]

Hi all,

Last year, after countless specialists and tests I was diagnosed with bi-lat PF syndrome and tracking issues due to muscle wastage on the inside of the thigh and therefore over-compensation on the outside thigh muscle.
Since that diagnosis I have had a year and a half's worth of intense physiotherapy, and in April this year I had a lateral release arthroscopy on my left knee.
We are now five-ish months on, and although my surgeon and physios have been satisfied with the progress that I have made, I still have pain inside the knee when I walk up/down hills/stairs, I can not run or jump anymore and there is a general ache inside the knee constantly. There is still some swelling on the knee. I am only seventeen and desperate to know if pain is common this late on or if the surgery has not worked 100% for me.

Thanks in advance

Hi bailey

can you please detail what you believe your physiotherapy treatment has been?

e.g. what has the physio told you, what are you doing in terms of treatment, exercises, stretches etc.

Has anyone examined you feet, hips, SIJ, lower back etc?

thanks

Of course,

Yes, my hips/ankles/feet/back have all been examined by multiple professionals, they know I am a little flat-footed but nothing so much as to cause the problems.

I have had massage, TENS, ultrasound after surgery, heat and cryotherapy, multiple exercises including mini-tramp work, cycling, the exercise where you lie on the bed and push away with your feet, many many stretches and squats.
