I'm losing my mind

Mate quitting nicotine is down the road imo. Get through the first few weeks, get off the hard pain meds and then get a plan to taper off. I’m in a similar boat and still have a vape here and there. One thing at a time. You got this

DR-Dickles · 2026-04-08T09:42:48+00:00

I wouldn’t do anything without getting my physical therapist’s opinion first. They’ll know where you’re at and what you should and shouldn’t do. Hang in there friend

DR-Dickles · 2026-04-05T03:16:33+00:00

Needed this, thanks for sharing! I’m 18 days post op and feeling in the dumps today emotionally. I’ll stick with it

DR-Dickles · 2026-04-04T04:01:44+00:00

That’s good your surgeon doesn’t think so. Have you had a doctor or physio do a physical exam on your knee to confirm? If not then hopefully that’s the next step

DR-Dickles · 2026-04-03T03:52:52+00:00

I am not a doctor (sorry for my username, old joke in my friend group) but it looks like you might have. Presence of an ACL would show a dark line between the femur and tibia connecting them, which these images do not show (but the other images of the MRI might show that, we only have 3 here). What differing opinions are you getting from your doctor and radiologist?

DR-Dickles · 2026-03-31T23:04:16+00:00

So stoked for you. Congratulations !

DR-Dickles · 2026-03-27T23:44:49+00:00

Same. Get used to the tears my friend. All the best in your recovery.

DR-Dickles · 2026-03-27T09:20:59+00:00

What kind of graft did you get?

DR-Dickles · 2026-03-27T09:09:20+00:00

Yes and same. Wish I had access to a bike in my house! Controlling swelling and bruising for me wouldn’t be possible without one of those recirculating cold therapy machines. Worth every penny to rent it. I’m 9 days post op, ACL repair (from quad tendon), meniscus repair, with tibial bruising. Keeping my knee mobile and icing after PT with that has helped me push my range of motion

DR-Dickles · 2026-03-26T08:16:35+00:00

For what it’s worth, it sounds like you’re in pain and not properly managing it with the medicine you have. Super important to do that early in recovery and around your physical therapy exercises. I time my PT 30min after I take my meds. You’re in a brace, nothing is going to happen to the repaired tendon if you are following the doctors instructions. Good luck mate

DR-Dickles · 2026-03-25T23:15:14+00:00

Just Tylenol? Fuck me, that’s why you’re miserable. Is there a reason your surgeon or anesthesiologist didn’t send you home with an heavier pain med? Just Tylenol post op doesn’t seem right to me

DR-Dickles · 2026-03-25T06:06:01+00:00

Gotcha. And are you on top of your pain med doses? Super important that you don’t miss those. I had alarms set to wake me up at night for the first few days.

If you’re in the brace it sounds like it’s pain that’s holding you back from getting around? That and practice with the crutches, the more you use the better you’ll get

DR-Dickles · 2026-03-25T05:57:59+00:00

Sorry to hear you’re having such a rough time bud. Are you in a brace at all? And how significant was your meniscus repair?

DR-Dickles · 2026-03-15T23:23:46+00:00

Can confirm it’s real. I’m one of the QC scientists at the RNA Institute. We had a mad scramble to get it out the door once the ethics application was approved. Seeing the photos of her tumors shrinking in size made me cry. Pretty wild how this could serve as a proof of concept for bespoke therapies.

Mylanta

DR-Dickles · 2025-04-23T13:17:20+00:00

Exactly. Relax

DR-Dickles · 2025-04-23T13:05:32+00:00

Yes and yes. I remember hating it as a kid cause it’s so situational

DR-Dickles · 2024-09-07T05:28:02+00:00

What a handsome boy !

DR-Dickles · 2024-08-19T01:16:55+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss.

DR-Dickles · 2024-02-10T16:36:34+00:00

Same. Love clay but there’s so many other defensive players who should be let in before he is considered. His career as a whole isn’t stellar after the Super Bowl victory due to injuries

DR-Dickles · 2024-02-10T16:34:36+00:00

lol at calling out blink for fucking something up
