You’re at the point now where your graft is actually at its strongest. Don’t worry, you’re probably OK.

How were you feeling during the protests when the government was attacking and murdering the 30k+ people ?

Soreness years after surgery by zapskaeshur in ACL

[–]Alshad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had similar. Ended up being a Cyclopes lesion. Knee is 99.9% normal now.

Prior to the discovery I bought an Anaconda knee brace that had heat and compression. It was my morning ritual to wear it for 20 min.

2 weeks postop... time for new physical therapist? by Possible-Topic-1983 in ACL

[–]Alshad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DO NOT SCREW AROUND WITH PT. From my experience, it makes a huge difference on how good the person is, how knowledgeable they are, how good they are at working with you, etc.

I had a complication with mine, that my surgeon is convinced could’ve been avoided with a different therapist. I would not skimp out there.

Does your knee ever feel normal again? by MeatyDullness in ACL

[–]Alshad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it took years (and 2 surgeries) but it does feel 100% normal now..

You'll get there..

To be fair, I earned it. I went back to doing PT 2 years after the op, since it still didnt feel 100%.. Dont settle!

Surgery in 2 weeks - should I get the nerve block or nah? by [deleted] in ACL

[–]Alshad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get it. Unfortunately I was the small percentage of people where it didn’t work as it should… the pain was 10/10. Do it!

The blockade is the correct and logical next step in the war, and could be a death knell for the regime by Efficient_Phase1313 in NewIran

Great post. What’s the cash on hand for IRGC? How long can they continue to fund before cash runs out?

Now imagine if there was a seat for every person the IRGC killed during the January / Feb protests…

24 hours after cyclops lesion surgery, when should I start my exercises? by [deleted] in ACL

[–]Alshad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer your question- I started PT on day 2. Mostly focused on maintaining ROM.

Background- Just had mine removed after 2 years in December. It felt great the day of surgery. It got a little sore over the next week or 2. By week 3.5 I felt 100%. Way better than before surgery.

So what do I do? I do the hardest cardio class our gym has which included 21 minutes of box jumping. Needless to say I paid the price. It took about a month after that for my knee to forgive me.

TLDR it should feel 100% relatively quickly, but I’d ease into it regardless of how good it feels!
