I am on the waiting list for my surgery.
Because of my dyspraxia, hypotonia (low muscle tone) on the left side of my body, hypermobility and poor gait it’s a bit of a recipe for disaster with the left knee.
I also have trochlear dysplasia on the left side.
This will be my sixth surgery on the left side.
It will be my third arthroscopy with loose body removal and arthritis clear out, I’ve also had the MPFL, ACL and tibial osteotomy done.
I need a knee replacement eventually but have never had any tone in my left quad, only ever developed on my right side, so it has to be in a much better position.
I am in my final module now to become a personal trainer, I want to train people like me who have dyspraxia to help them feel like they belong in a gym environment and I’d hate for knee pain to get in the way of that.
Because of the muscle tone issues, I will start pre surgery training in the new year to try and build up anything at all because it will be gone the minute they do the surgery
