Molly, A PCL Survivor And Her Story

This Is Molly and her story.

It’s a simple story, really. Ride bike Dec 06, fall down. Ow, ow, ow! Surgery #1 Mar 07 (arthroscopic cleanup and lateral release of patella). Lots more bike riding. Knee is really loose, so Surgery #2 Oct 07 (PCL reconstruction with allograft, MCL repair). Developed arthrofibrosis, so Surgery #3 Mar 08 (manipulation under anesthesia with removal of lots and lots of scar tissue). Nice tight knee. Pretty new Breg brace. More bike riding. This photo was taken 4 months post-MUA after 64 miles on the bike. Tibia itching and aching, so Surgery #4 Sept 08 (tibia screw removal). More bike riding. PCL disintegrating! Knee very loose now: PCL 2+ laxity. Rats!

Update 3 years post op. screw removal

Two Years Ago Today

Hi Everyone,

Two years ago today, I fell on the ice and tore my PCL. What a journey this has been. I've met so many awesome people and want to introduce them.

Anyone who would like to share their story and even pics, please e-mail me at Sprinter2fun@hotmail.com

This blog now belongs to everyone and if there is anything I can do to improve it, just let me know.
