Message: [QUOTE="SCUBA, post: 932261, member: 61889"] I just had my first experience with a break in March of this year. Car hit me while I was bicycling with friends. My left patella was fractured into several pieces. The surgeon put it back together. Lots of swelling after surgery. Even now, a few months later, my knee is still large. I'm told it is scar tissue. Make sure you do physical therapy. I am into my 5th week now, trying to get my leg to bend again. I can only bend it to about 90 degrees. The therapist can force it to 114, but that brings tears to my eyes. Basically, she will keep having to force it until the scar tissue is torn up. I am finding out it is a slow and painful process. It's tough coming back from a break, but hang in there. Work hard at it, do what your therapist says. You'll get back to where you were. [/QUOTE]
