Knee Pain Causes, Conditions and Treatments

Steven Spencer

Dr. Wickiewicz is blessed from God with his skills. I ruptured my quadriceps tendon by slipping on ice. I was a healthy and highly active person, so I was shocked that this happened. I called his office because a colleague of mine had used him. Vivian, his receptionist, was an angel. They saw me 2 days later and scheduled my surgery shortly there after. After surgery, I didn't think I would be able to ever bend my knee again. I was in so much pain and tightness. Dr. Wickiewicz assured me this was normal and I will be up and moving around again. Sure enough that dat did come. My knee feels great and I have not been limited to do anything! Well then almost a year to the day later I had to have a meniscus tear repaired. Of course I went back to Dr. Wickiewicz and he performed the surgery. In short, I was walking unaided 1 day after the surgery. I am so thankful that Dr. Wickiewicz is in my life. Exercise is very important to me and I thought it would be jeopardized due to the knee surgeries. Dr. Wickiewicz helped preserve my sanity by repairing me! The photo taken is 3 months post surgical repair of my ruptured quadracept tendon.
