Maybe a week. I had this done a long time ago and it didn't take long at all.

Usually just casting or splinting the bone and pain killers is sufficient. Expect to be out of commission for about 4-6 weeks.

Well first you have to figure out what type of hamstring you have. Grade 1,2 or 3.\n\nGrade 1:\n-Might have tightness in the thigh. \n-May be able to walk properly. \n-Probably won't have much swelling. \n-Lying on front and trying to bend the knee against resistance probably won't produce much pain. \n\nGrade 2:\n-Probably cannot walk properly. \n-May get occasional sudden twinges of pain during activity. \n-May notice swelling. \n-Pressing in causes pain. \n-Bending the knee against resistance causes pain. \n-Might be unable to fully straighten the knee. \n\nGrade 3-\n-Unable to walk properly without the aid of crutches. \n-In severe pain. \n-Bad swelling appear immediately. \n-A static contraction will be painful and might produce a bulge in the muscle. \n-Expect to be out of competition for 3 to twelve weeks or more. \n\n     After you figure out which one you have here is how to heal it:\n\nGrade 1:\n-Use a compression bandage or heat retainer until you feel no pain. \n-See a sports injury professional who can advise on rehabilitation and strengthening. \n\nGrade 2-\n-Ice, compress, elevate, use crutches for 3 to 5 days. \n-See a sports injury specialist who can advise on rehabilitation.\n\nGrade 3:\n-Seek medical attention immediately!!! \n-R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate.) Use crutches. \n-See a sports injury professional who can advise on rehabilitation and prevention.

Basically you have 2 choices stop doing activities that cause you pain or have the surgery.  The surgery consists of a plastic screw being inserted into the shoulder, the tendon is then weaved into another piece of flat plastic that is then attached to the screw to hold the tendon into place.  The recuperation time is around 6 months and you'll need physical therapy during that time.  It takes along time to heal because there's no way to actually reattach the tendon permanently.  The plastic just holds it into place while the tendon reattaches itself to the bone.  The pain of the surgery can be quite intense but pain medication is provided.\nHope this  helps.

It sounds like you bruised or even partially tore your medial collateral ligament and/or the medial meniscus.  Try this: sit down and plant your left foot firmly in front of you, then move your knee to the right and see if it hurts.  If so then that is what happened and you should go easy on it for a week.  If it is still tender after that you should see a physical therapist to help in recovery.

Been there done that.. twice.  I dislocated my right knee 11 yrs ago.. but there was someone with me at the time. They are the one that dislocated it!!  So he helped me out. The second knee cap that dislocated.. I was alone, upstairs, and my newborn was downstairs.  There was no way I could get down a flight of stairs.  I called my boyfriend who was on the road about 2 hours away and had him call his mom for help, cuz I didn't know her phone number by heart.  Its amazing what you can do when you are injured, though.  I had managed to get my kneecap back in place, and hobble down a flight of stairs to be with my baby until help arrived.  Scary, but it makes you much stronger.  It's amazing.

I hope your daughter recovers soon.  \n\nThe outlook on recovery from eye injuries is good: one in five patients with a ruptured eye globe, a serious injury, may continue to have excellent vision and no apparent signs of perforation.\n\nPostoperative management includes preventing infection, suppressing inflammation and controlling pain. \n\nAlthough no data exist supporting the use of systemic antibiotics after an open globe injury, it's common practice to administer three days of IV antibiotics, followed by 11 days of oral antibiotics. Oral ciprofloxacin has been shown to cross an intact blood-vitreous barrier in appreciable concentrations.\n\nDaily follow-up should include determination of visual acuity, IOP and wound integrity and configuration of the retina (by ultrasound if it isn't visible). If needed, the patient should be referred to a vitreoretinal specialist. Close attention should be paid to corneal wounds, as they can leak when corneal edema decreases. \n\nFollow-up also should include counseling. It's often necessary to repeat conversations that occurred before the operation, as patients and families forget what was said in the hectic, stressful setting of preparation for emergency surgery. Advice from social workers and spiritual support, if appropriate, often are helpful. \n\nIf there is no hope of visual recovery in the injured eye, the initial postoperative phase is a good time to remind the patient and family about the risk of sympathetic ophthalmia. At this institution, it's often the practice to have the patient sign a statement documenting his or her understanding of the risk and choice not to proceed with enucleation, should that be the decision. Finally, polycarbonate glasses must be prescribed, and the patient must be urged to wear them at all times.

Everyone is different, but in my case, I was totally of my leg for 6 weeks.  I keep it elevated as much as possible. I didn't put any weight what so ever on the leg.  I moved around with a "gramma walker".\n\nThe doctors advice: \nStrenthen the muscle in your quadricept by tighten and losening yoru leg.  The first 3-4 weeks after Knee Surgery, then main thing is to rest an not apply any weight on to the injured leg.\n\nAs time passes, your doctor will tell you to start doing certain excercises to strenghten the muscles around the knee joint.\n\nIt can take up to 12 weeks for your knee to heal totally.  Being an athlete all my life and determined not to let the Knee Surgery Effect me, I was up walking and dancing in 6 weeks.\n\nYou can read more about my trial and tribulation over my knee surgery from my blog and website: \nThere is also a list of excerises recommened by the doctors\n\nhttp:www.knee-surgery-info.com\nhttp://www.knee-surgery-recovery.blogspot.com/\n\nI wish you the best of luck.  One Tip, your determination, faith, and attitude toward your recovery leads a long way in the healing process.\n\nPS. If you smoke..QUIT, smoking slows down the healing process!!\n\nEric

No he won't be back soon. During rehab he suffered a major setback.  He is sidelined for an indefinite period of time with that knee injury. I don't really think they have a time frame in mind at the moment but he has started practicing, although he is still experiencing pain in the knee which has been surgically repaired twice and he is not nearly in game shape. So it will be a while

I dislocated my knee about 3 months ago.  I was supposed to keep my knee stabilized- completely immobile for a long time, but I didn't know that. I did this 10 yrs ago to my other knee. It seems like this one is healing slower. I still have pain when I walk, and sometimes it still feels like my knee is going backwards when I walk.  I'll get shooting pains up and down the outside of my knee just out of the blue.  I just recently feel like my walk is almost back to normal.  I went to the doctor for a recheck about 3 weeks ago, and asked her the same question you just did.  She told me everyone is different, and the knees always take a very, very long time to heal. I now am taking glucosimine for my joints.  Its just something you can pick up at a vitamin store.  It actually feels as if it may be working, or maybe its just coincidence.

I'd say 3 hrs. in the O.R.   Two days as an in-patient.\nYou'll be on a continuous-motion machine to gently move the knee, slowly and painlessly immed after the replacement and for some time at home as well. Lots of cold to control the bleeding and swelling. No full weight bearing for weeks and weeks( depending on your Ortho-surgeons preference. This means Crutches or a non-weight bearing walker. Touching your foot to the ground to gain balance ( touch balance ) only can be expected as well as a knee immobilizer when your up and attempting the crutch -thing ( to protect the knees' position) Physical Therapy is essential to build the musculoskeletal strength that will hold your knee intact. Full recovery if you've behaved yourself only...12 weeks.\nCHAS.

If it's longer than 10 see a Dr. or emergency room. Especially if you have pain.3-5 days is normal.

it depends on how bad the injury is and where its actually located,ideally rest in a sling for a period of 4-6 wks wud b required ,and then mobilization is mandatory,gentle exercises within the sling would be started within two weeks and a more strenous regime after the healing.

Are they going to use local anesthetics?  If so, it may hurt a little.. The actual suction part shouldnt hurt because the fluid isnt connected to your nerves, the part that hurts is the invasive procedure..\n\nIf they are using systemic anesthetics (i.e.  knocking you out), you will probably feel tenderness in your knees that will probably be worse the 2-3 days, but will get better..\n\nDont worry.. youll be fine...

as a physical therapist,i recommend u to have hotpacks for 15-20 mins on the affected area for pain relief..secondly do some joint mobilization exercise x 10 reps x 2 sets .And lastly you should use a single tip cane on the unaffected knee for the reason to reduce weight on the affected area..
