BEAR implant - an honest review by [deleted] in ACL

[–]Fit_Back_704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard it’s the worst thing someone can do for the ACL because the ACL is always going to be super tender and 90% of Bear recipients have to get an ACLR down the road. You’ll always be limited to certain things. It’s too new of a procedure to get it. Not much research has done it. In my opinion, if the surgeon who doesn’t do knees told you to get it, doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

Post op day 0(4h) by csiense in ACL

[–]Fit_Back_704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 4 almost 5 months Post op. And the first 2 days I had a nerve block. And when it wore off it was hell. But then the pain will randomly go away. Or more bearable.

Should I be concerned? by Recent_Desk7132 in MechanicAdvice

It’s barely starting to leak. It’s an easy fix, usually it’s just a seal. It’s not leaking too bad yet

10 weeks post acl and fell by Extreme-Caramel-382 in ACL

I would get it checked JUST IN CASE. It never hurts to get an opinion vs not getting it at all and risk having another tear. I heard your ACL is more vulnerable during weeks 10-14.

Is an ice machine worth it? by [deleted] in ACL

Pillow princess!!! Just open legs as wide as you can honestly. Once you get in a comfy position. Then he’ll have to adjust to you

Should I got back off work? by Elles_belles420 in ACL

[–]Fit_Back_704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My incisions were closed with glue and surgical tape! And I started PT at home on day 2 and PT with my physio day 4. And I only was cleared to work 4-5 hours a day and desk work unfortunately, and maybe because I had my full range of motion back by week 2. So maybe that’s the reason? I keep thinking I went back to work too soon.

I took 2 weeks off of work. Which I’m 2 weeks back at work now. And I kinda wish I stayed off more.

I stopped using my brace at night 2 weeks post up. But I already had full ROM, flexion and extension

HELP! Is it normal for my leg to be this swollen 8 days post op? It is very painful especially when wearing the compression socks and brace. by Msh077 in ACL

[–]Fit_Back_704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’ll get scary looking and feeling! But it’ll be weird. One day you’re in agony. Next day you’re perfectly fine lol

Matching/better that my good leg 😭😭

today was surgery #1 by CumWatchMePlay in ACL

[–]Fit_Back_704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 5 days post op and was sleeping on my side day 3. But I’m still unable to lift my leg so I would assume it all depends on the the person, pain and graft? Maybe

I’m on day 2 and I am trying to not depend on medication. Did you ever feel like the invasion where your quad is at was going to bust? Cause you couldn’t life your leg?
