Quadriceps Tendon Rupture – Recovery phase 5

Today, 19 March, I visited the doctor and phys to get rid of my knee brace
.

Been wearing it for exactly three months after I stumbled on a stairway and ruptured my right quadriceps tendon

The knee looks nice and the scar has healed very well and is hardly visible at all. Nice job Jesper the surgeon and with some post surgery healing help from Locobase Repair, Aloe vera 98% and coconut oil

Still some swelling and scar tissue that needs to be treated.

The phys approved the exercises I have done so far and added one for ROM (Range of Motion) to the series: 
Stand next to a chair. Place the foot on the injured knee on the chair. Move the knee forward. Hold for a few seconds, relax. Repeat 20 times, 2 sets.

Two products are added to the remedy list, Hot & Cool massage creme (for horses).

and Serrapeptese,  “an unusual enzyme comes from Serratia, a bioactive group of bacteria that live inside silkworms. Serratia are essential to the silkworm’s survival. After it weaves a silk cocoon and begins transforming into a moth, it releases Serratia bacteria from its gut. The Serratia produce serrapeptase, an enzyme that eats through protein. The serrapeptase dissolves the silk cocoon, opening it up for the silkmoth to emerge.” [[Source]
 

Both to help removing scar tissue in the knee and leg.

Take care everybody out there, where ever you are 🙂
