I had arthoscopy with a microfracture on my knee January 06 2014. The pain post surgery is worse than the pain before (and different) and I have physical limitations I didn't have before. I could not extend my leg parallel to the floor while sitting without wincing so I was given a steroid shot and three rounds of Synvisc four months post surgery. Sadly I have not noticed much improvement a month later. I was not told any of this was possible prior to the surgery. It was done so I could continue dancing without the pain and now I can hardly even begin to do ballet. Anyone have any insight or a similar experience? What was done?

I started physical therapy 6 weeks after surgery (I was immobile in a brace) and attended for 14 weeks. I had to stop because the pain was so bad I couldn't do a lot of the exercises that would strengthen my quadricep muscle and was not finding any improvement after The first 8 weeks or so.
