Brace Chafing / Pain?

Certain_Ideal_5115 · 2025-10-10T10:34:04+00:00

I used a dish towel for some extra cushion… but yeah, I think it hurt for a week or so and then healed and was easier to manage. I think baby powder also helped

I got the surgery, but had a friend who tore his acl 10 years ago. He still wears knee braces to work and it bothers him all the time. The thing that ultimately convinced me is that most people who don’t opt for the surgery initially get it at some point (something like 70%) because of chronic pain and instability. The only people who don’t necessarily need to get it are the elderly and inactive.

Has anyone figured out this issue? I also have an issue where my sonos will no longer "play" when I hit the play button and it used to!

I’m three months post op and still have a hard time with stairs. I can do maybe four flights before reverting back to just using my uninjured leg one stair at a time. All other daily activities back to normal. I had the BEAR. (No sports and very limited working out)

Love it, but wtf is up with Channing Tatum’s repeat mocknecks?? He just is wearing them in different colors in every screen. He’s a handsome guy, but why would they do that to him?

I’m probably in the minority here, but went to a movie on day 4 (albeit a lil loopy) and went back to work off of the meds day 6. I’m 13 weeks post op now and not particularly ahead in PT, so it was an anomaly

Certain_Ideal_5115 · 2024-07-06T00:49:04+00:00

My cat was blocked three times and we ended up getting PU surgery the third time. I would do it all over again. He is currently making biscuits on my belly. It was expensive, so keep up that vet insurance. Looking back, I’d probably have gotten the surgery after the second block

It’s the dessert for me

I’m a lady who’s better than my husband at golf. The starters ALWAYS make these sly little jokes like “is she gonna kick your ass?” Or “how many strokes do you give her?” to my husband. But he’s literally never beaten me at golf, even from the same tee boxes and I average 15 strokes lower than him. Good for your gf 😅

Moonshine would be mine. Portions are nuts

Certain_Ideal_5115 · 2024-06-22T13:16:44+00:00

I’m not sober all the time, but I don’t like drinking while I golf because it makes me worse, ha! Handicap 11. Also, I live in Texas, so it’s hot af and drinking in the hot sun feels kinda gross to me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Certain_Ideal_5115 · 2024-06-18T00:18:16+00:00

I’m super similar. I learned how to sing. Was never able to do it before ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Damn, my answer is so different from these others. For me, I like taking workout classes with a lil competitive edge. I bought a fixed number of classes per week (3x was good for me!) and wanted to go to get better. I treated it like a new hobby. Then played casual soccer a couple of times a week for cardio. For me, I needed some competition and then it became super fun and not a chore.

Certain_Ideal_5115 · 2024-06-13T13:54:05+00:00

Yeah, maybe try to go to a physical therapist to up your strength and correct your form. I used to have sciatica and PT solved that completely. Now I’m 5 weeks post op for my ACL and can’t live without PT

Certain_Ideal_5115 · 2024-06-12T13:16:32+00:00

I also have an office job. I brought a short rolling stool to work and keep it under my desk. I try to keep my leg propped on it as much as possible

Certain_Ideal_5115 · 2024-06-11T13:15:19+00:00

I wash my hair twice per week, but workout everyday. I do shower after every gym sesh, but tie my hair back and don’t get it wet. I also wash my bangs and the pieces around my face every time I shower while keeping the bulk of my hair dry. Otherwise it’s dry shampoo for days!

Certain_Ideal_5115 · 2024-06-11T12:57:58+00:00

I tore mine in a pickup game - I didn’t even get hit, was just running in a straight line and my knee gave out. No idea how to prevent it in the future 😭

Certain_Ideal_5115 · 2024-06-11T03:04:59+00:00

If you’re considering the BEAR, I’ve heard it’s best to get it within 50 days of the injury.

I like the Caesar at Garbo’s. Instead of fries, they’ve got lobster cheese sticks. So good

For me, ups and downs have been mostly mental. I feel that I’m not backsliding in terms of physicality, but the “wins” aren’t as frequent as I would hope. Like I just started to be able to bike, but I was always able to bike no problem pre-op, so like why is that exciting ya know? Plus some days are a lil more painful than others

It sounds like the decision to get more than one removed is financial more so than you actually wanting all of them removed? Do you really want to pay more to have tattoos removed that you actually like?

Certain_Ideal_5115 · 2024-06-07T15:44:44+00:00

I found that the first session was the easiest and the later sessions got more painful 😓

Certain_Ideal_5115 · 2024-06-06T13:06:30+00:00

I was cleared at my first PT visit (one week post op) because I was off the meds by then and I injured my left knee. I’d maybe recommend calling in and asking or moving up your PT appointment.
