Here was my dilemma. Past my first rippling of youth, I was aggravated by a nagging knee problem that flared up after every game – I’m an amateur Aussie rules player. It wasn’t enough to stop me playing but it was getting worse and I didn’t want to admit it to myself or my mates. Who wants to admit they are ageing at 32?
So the start was admitting there was a problem then came the search for an answer and VBJS was that. They are a group of orthopaedic surgeons that operate in Melbourne and the reviews looked positive especially when it came to knees. They also do hips and handle other trauma treatment surgeries so it was a no-brainer to schedule a consultation.
Reassurance
The first thing I was impressed with was that they reassured me from the start that they knew what the problem was and could do something about it. I felt I was in safe hands. The procedure they recommended was complex, however, and would require repairing damaged ligaments and realigning the knee joint.
To be honest, I expected something like this but it was a weight off my shoulders……or knee to be more accurate!
Surgery and Recovery
Thankfully the surgery was a success due in no small part to the team’s expertise and advanced techniques.
The recovery process was rigorous. I spent weeks in physiotherapy, gradually regaining strength and flexibility. The road was long, filled with early morning sessions of rehab and the occasional moment of doubt. But every step forward was a victory, and the guys and girls were always there to guide and encourage me.
They didn’t just perform the surgery and step into the background – it was a start-to-finish operation from consultation to resolution – via that time in theatre.
The Difference
Fast forward to today, and I’m back playing the game I love, perhaps a little better than before thanks to my newfound confidence that I’m not going to break down and be carried off like an old codger.
The knee feels stronger than it has in years, and I’m able to push myself without the fear of injury holding me back. I’m incredibly grateful to the dedicated men and women who helped with this journey for their skill and support.
Thanks to them, I’m not just playing again, I’m making my “marks” like a trooper.
