@katclub : Re. numbness, swelling.... do you still have either? Most likely, at least some. I think the last little dead, numb spot around my scar disappeared around the 4 to 6 week mark. It took a while for the nerves to regenerate. As far as swelling goes, it took much longer. Perhaps 3 to 4 months to get back to almost normal, now at 8 months I still have a slight bump on the outside of my knee every day, and it is still warmer than the other one, and any extra activity does add some swelling. Gone are the days where I could flash some sleek legs.............
