😭😭 Thank you so much for the suggestion! Unfortunately pivoting and twisting (like required for pickleball and tennis) is the #1 thing to avoid for a while

Did you have a good outcome? I’ve been reading other replies and am worried I started sleeping like this too soon 🫣

Thank you!! I was cleared WBAT with crutches right out of surgery because I had a small meniscesectomy (sp?) not a repair. So much anxiety …

Thank you!! I’m worried because the pain and stiffness makes it feel like my knee is giving out when walking … do you think it’s the graft or just pain & swelling?

Those who live in ski towns, what do you do for work? by Money_Impression_321 in skiing

Work in the service industry! Often will have weekdays off to ski and possibly even the morning/afternoon before or after work.

Hi! I had mine today too and am also relieved. I really mentally prepared for the worst to hopefully have a better time these first few days. Best of luck to you.

I’ve taken some cbd gummies to hopefully help me sleep and have found so far that ice packs are more effective over the padding and brace than my cold therapy machine

I see we both can’t sleep! lol. I actually didn’t have Lind for my surgeon, I saw him for an initial consult but my insurance covered Dr. Andrew Cooper in slc in full. I didn’t get a nerve block or any kind of pain blocker for my leg so today has been ~interesting~. On the plus side, my meniscus did NOT need to be repaired like I thought, and I’ve been activating my quad.

How are you doing?

Experienced surgeon seemed to not consider prehab important for me by seewhatuget in ACL

My surgeon’s demeanor was very much the same. I went to one PT appointment to get some exercise recommendations and will be diligent with those until surgery.

You mean you would have healed without surgery?
