I am a 47 year old knee patient that started with another physical therapist that, in my opinion, didn't help me with, what started to be a knee infection and may have aggravated my condition more.
It started as an infection that localized itself in my knee causing a series of domino effects to my physical condition. Before this, I was very active, playing beach volleyball and running 2-3 miles a day. After coming back from vacation and playing in a volleyball tournament the infection began and it took 2 1/2 weeks before they found out it was a strep B infection that had to be treated with a strong antibiotic for 30 days, of which 11 of those days were spent in the hospital. The pain was horrible, I couldn't eat, lost too much weight, and my red blood cell count started to drop. After the hospital stay I continued the antibiotics and ate healthy. I had no energy and my muscle tone was gone.
After about 3 months or so I was fed up with the therapist I had and was fed up with the therapist I had and was referred to Tim McCauley by a friend of mine because I had complained that I always hurt after therapy and was on constant pain medication. The very first day, after meeting with Tim, I finally had hope to regain most of my range of motion where the doctor, as well as the therapist had given up and said I would not be able to run or play volleyball.
About a year went by with Tim as he continued to work the scar tissue in my knee to strengthen my muscles, I under went another surgery with a different doctor that Tim recommended. He spent a long time cleaning out the mess that was in my knee. This time the method of recovery was totally different. A day after surgery, Tim began working on my knee again. Now, I can ride my bike without compensating with my back, go down stairs normally, I can go for short runs, and even run in the sand. It is great. I still have some work to do, but at least the light at the end of the tunnell is soooo much closer and I feel normal again.
Tim McCauley has been the greatest ever and he and his office staff have been very supportive.
Thank you for everything! You are the Best!
