Thank your for the feedback. Originally, the doctor diagnosed is as pes bursa inflammation as a result of its response to ice, ultrasound and rest therapy. I requested an MRI which revealed a stress fracture in the general area where the screws for the ACl reconstruction were placed. We are following up with a bone density test to rule out osteoperosis. What other reasons could cause the stress fracture with such a moderate increase in activity?
Hi there!
This is not typically normal with mild-moderate activity, six months post surgery; though increased amount of activities are best avoided. I would suggest getting this examined by your treating orthopedician for secondary issues such as inflammations, further degeneration, bursitis, tendonitis etc. If a secondary issues is identified it can be managed accordingly. Meanwhile I would suggest resting the knee and avoiding aggressive movements around the joint. Ice packs and OTC NSAIDS may be helpful for pain relief.
Hope this is helpful.
Take care!
