Guest guest Posted August 17, 2001 Report Share Posted August 17, 2001 Just thought I would submit this post on my progress after my surgery. As it stands right now I am five weeks post op and I only have one more week to wear this silly compression stocking on my leg. My recovery has been remarkable! I am walking without any cane or crutches and I have no limp at all. More importantly I have absolutely no pain. I have been extremely diligent in my physio and I feel that is really paying off. Walking is the key! To anyone that has a resurface procedure done I would highly recommend alot of walking. It can wear you out but the benefits are significant. I truly believe that God answered my prayers and I am ever thankful for Mr. McMinn and his abilities. It is going to be quite interesting living life without pain now!

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 I am just back-packed back from a resurf job with dr. Mont in maryland I am 10 days post-op and walking 1000 ft a day now and doing great. Some incision an muscle pain but that is to be expected. Hopefully everyday will get a little bit better. I am on 50% weight bearing for 6 weeks. Glad I tried this procedure at 45 and AVN late stage 4+ I could not take pain anymore.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 Craig - Glad you're doing great. There is developing quite an alumni group from Dr Mont. Mike Wolf, Hal Mordkofsky, Mark Carder and myself recently met face to face at Sinai and exchanged thoughts. We were all early ConservePlus patients of Mont and had been communicating for some time via mail providing each other with helpful information and supporting thoughts. We're all middle aged and doing well, although actually still recovering/rehabbing, and glad we were able to get involved with Mont's program. If we can help you - send along your inquiries.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2001 Report Share Posted August 25, 2001 Thanks for your support. I am glad to have spoken to you directly before I had the surgery. As with at least 7 of Monts patients conserve + patients all relating positive results. At 10 days post-op I have no complaints about using Mont just some incision and muscle pain but that should get better everyday. Going for my 4th walk today. Did about 1/4 mile walking today.
