I had the AMZ procedure with cartilage transplant on 10/31/07. I am now finally back to work but I am still walking with one crutch due to quad muscle weakness. Does this ever get any better? So far the rehab is quite painful. My right quad isn't 'firing' so I undergo treatment with the Russian stimulator - it is quite painful. Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?
