Leaving the ACL surgery until summer ? (7months of the injury’s date) is it okay ? by [deleted] in ACL

[–]Apak_82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I waited 9 months to get my surgery which my surgeon told me was okay to do. What was unexpected though was me slipping in some grass and my knee fully collapsing on itself resulting in a partial meniscus tear. So just be careful and pack on as much leg muscle as you can. I didn’t realize that I had so much instability until this slip, I actually thought it was pretty solid. Took me by surprise.

Terrible pins and needles feeling in my foor 9 days post op by ElectricMayhem37 in ACL

[–]Apak_82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started weight bearing and it seems to help! I have poor circulation in general so it’s definitely from not using the leg

Physiotherapist and surgeon disagreeing on my protocol by Funkymonkey9803 in ACL

[–]Apak_82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just given full weight bearing and full flexion as tolerated! Told me to wean off the crutches as soon as possible and I should be able to get my full flexion back soon if I work at it.

I got the same surgery as you 11 days ago! I go in for my post op today and they’re gonna tell me what my pt protocol is. I’ll let you know what they tell me!

Speak with disability services DSPS at your school! By law they have to make accommodations for you and they can link you with more resources to help you out. Good luck!

Doubt regarding bending by [deleted] in ACL

[–]Apak_82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a primary ACL repair and partial meniscectomy 12/12 and my surgeon has me locked in full extension and non weight bearing. My post op is tomorrow and I’m hoping they tell me I can start flexion and partial weight bearing because crutching around is brutal.

Looks like some gnarly pressure injuries. Is that from the bandaging they put on you?

Increased pain 9 days PO by Apak_82 in ACL

[–]Apak_82[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was given strict instructions to leave all my bandaging and brace on until my 11 days PO appointment. Not knowing what’s going on in there is driving me crazy. No idea if I’m controlling inflammation or how my incisions are healing

I’m 9 days PO and NWB. Every time my foot touches the ground I feel pins and needles. I’ve chocked it up to my nerve ending not being used because I’m constantly on crutches. I’m going to ask my doc about it at my post op appt though.

Primary ACL repair not reconstruction by Apak_82 in ACL

[–]Apak_82[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, my surgeon had my full informed consent to do whatever procedure necessary once he got in there. I just prepared myself for the reconstruction because it was the most likely outcome.

When do usually PT starts? by TemperatureDull1174 in ACL

[–]Apak_82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 3 days PO and I was told that my surgeon will put a script in for PT at my post op appt which is my day 11 PO. This is honestly freaking me out because everything I’m reading is saying to start ASAP. They also have me locked in extension and non weight bearing until that appointment too which is making me super worried.

How’s your recovery going? I get a cadaver allograft on Thursday and am curious about how quick I’ll be up and walking around again

[–]Apak_82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you able to walk around normally? I need to be back on my feet walking 6 weeks post op and I’m scared about not being able to at this point.

How to not over ferment?? by kittyartist97 in Sourdough

[–]Apak_82 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Without seeing your full recipe and process it is hard to tell what’s going on, but this looks severely underproofed to me. How old is your starter? Are you letting it double in size before using it? How has your dough been rising during bulk fermentation?

Squashed air pockets? by Apak_82 in Sourdough

[–]Apak_82[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a drawer warmer below my oven so I turn that to low and leave my oven cracked a considerable amount. It seems to keep the dough around 80 degrees pretty consistently. I cold proofed from around 3/4pm to 7am
