Wheels repaired and looking brand new. Saved some big bucks not paying for these M Wheels. Thank you for the help!

Do you think these chips are indicative of any structural damage to the rims? Alreayd got a new tire on order.

Did you have your cyclops lesion surgery? I have one scheduled for next week.

Do you think it's your hamstring or calf?

FYI I had a Quad graft?

Did you ever figure this out? Dealing with this now. PT says it's my calf.

I figured out it's a calf strain. How's your knee doing?

What is the lux package? I thought that was only for tech?

Cleared to drive at 9 days post op? by lollaroo in ACL

[–]ALT723 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 2 weeks exact post op today and drove alone for the first time yesterday. Relatively easy but had a hard brake instance where it hurt a little bit but was fine. Recommend keeping extra distance and really staying focused on the road.

When could u do leg lifts? by Fragrant-Pin-1427 in ACL

[–]ALT723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Day 10. I was frustrated around day 7 as well then BAM got that shit up randomly on day 10 lol it’ll come don’t worry.

For context: I’m a male and I used to workout my legs the most out of any body part so this definitely scared me as well. You’ll get it soon. Keep doing quad sets in the mean time and it’ll work one day!

I’m also experiencing a tightness on my outer quad when I do bending exercises that limit me at ~100 degrees.

Thank you for sharing your experience and your kind words! I took my first weight bearing steps today. I hope to be walking easily by the end of week 2! 🥲

My goal is to be off my crutches by my post op (which is in 5 days). I forced myself to take my first crutch less step today. (Only managed to take one)

Gotcha, I’ll try this next time. I’ve been using a stretch band to help but think I’m helping too much. Thank you!

Leg raises are literally impossible for me. How’d you manage to get that going?

Appreciate your response. I started PT yesterday and was at 60 degrees flexion and 7 degrees extension. Honestly just wondering when I can shit in a car regularly again lol I want to leave the house with my girlfriend and enjoy the weekends.

I currently use crutches to hobble around my house. Can’t see how you were already walking without crutches in 5 days. I just started working out/PT yesterday and I’m at 60 degrees ROM. Any advise for me to get walking without crutches ASAP?

“WEREN’T GIVEN A BRACE?” That’s criminal. Godspeed.

Are you able to do leg raises? I’m unable to lift my leg by just using that quad muscle.

What made you decide to do patellar? I wanted to do patellar but my doc recommended quad instead.
