Q: Osteochondrosis dissecans and supplements

asked by: Svetliaka on May 24th, 2009

Hello, I had a knee operation(Osteochondrosis dissecans with cartilage transplantation) a few days ago. Now I have to be in wheel-chair for 6 weeks. I have now a natural implant into my knee. I am practicing bodybuilding and after these 6 weeks I would like to return back my form, so I would like to take some supplements. So my question is, is there any ingredient in these supplements, which can decompose my implant from these products:PlasmaJet, SuperPump, SizeOn.

Also does a medicine like Isotretinoin(against acne) have the ability to kill cells off that divide too quickly? My doctor forbid me to take it.

I hope for an answer, because it is very important for me!
Thank you very much!

I don't think the supplement will have some adverse effect on your cartilage transplantation, but, I don't think you should practice bodybuilding after the six weeks period.
Actually, physiotherapy is continued for up to 12 months after this 6 weeks period of total inactivity, and sporting activities are curtailed during this time.
Don't use the acne drug Isotretinoin since it can affect the musculoskeletal system of the body.
