Corticosteroids do not benefit acute anaphylaxis but may prevent relapse or protracted anaphylaxis. Hydrocortisone (100 to 200 mg) or its equivalent can be administered every 6 to 8 hours for the first 24 hours.
Don't twist your knee as you turn around. Take several small steps instead. After two weeks, or sooner if youâre confident, you can go down to one crutch and then a walking stick. After about six weeks, if your muscles feel strong and supportive, you can try walking without aids.
When I start my runners back in training after knee surgery, I recommend they run every other day and bike or swim on off days. After three weeks of running on alternate days, your knee should be conditioned well enough for you to resume your normal training program. If your knee begins to swell after you run, you know you've done a little too much. Ice your knee, use anti-inflammatories and back off your running a bit. If you rehab sensibly and gradually after knee surgery, you should be able to run just as fast and as far as you did before surgery.
