I had ACL reconstruction and I work for Stryker. They suggested that I get an ice machine to eliviate swelling. EBI makes them as well. Are you familiar with the device? If not its basicaly a cooler you put ice and water in and it has a electric pump which pumps the ice water through two hoses to a ice pack which gets velcroed around you knee. Works great in bed, or at work if you sit in a desk. Dont do **** for ya otherwise. You can probably get a script for one from you doctor. If you need a recomendation for a good orthopedic surgeon i know of two i highly reccomend from personal experiance. If you can not get a ice machine you can borrow mine, they are compact enough to even stash s few beers in too to wash down thos percoccets and totaly destroy your liver in one fell swoop. Id also see what the cat scan say in terms of cartalage degeneration, miniscus degeneration and arthritus prior to considering a meniscuc replacement. I also found some relief in using glucosimine.
