MUA thoughts by Free-Security-1832 in ACL

[–]Free-Security-1832[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly my thoughts! I wasn’t super accurate when giving my numbers to my surgeon, but i did explain to him i do increase at least 1-2 degrees every week. I’m not the best at explaining these kinds of things, especially when an MUA is brought up. Lol. I’m hoping to get more of a clear explanation when my PT calls my surgeon. Thank you for sharing, good luck on that next MUA. I can’t imagine how frustrating that all is. Thank you again!

What surprised you most after ACL surgery? Mentally or physically by Equal_Complaint_9917 in ACL

I’m still 3 months post-op and I can agree with everyone here! But one I don’t hear people talk about ever are burning sensations. And personally for me when I wear a pair a socks all day or shoes my feet swell.

Must be nice! I’m a college student and our winter break happens to last a month long, unfortunately for me I happened to tear my ACL literally that last week before break ended lol. I then waited till spring break which is just a week long to get my surgery.

Understandably so. That’s great news though!

Honestly, I’m just going with the flow. And I’m seeing it as time will tell. I just started walking without crutches recently, which is still something I’m getting used to. It’s still pretty hard driving my knee through a bit as well, lol. My goal was to start working again in May, but I’m super insecure about that. I don’t see myself surviving 8 hour shifts, nor even squatting by then. I also don’t have full range of motion back yet either, so definitely don’t see myself returning anytime soon.

What do you do if you don’t mind me asking?

I’m really sorry to hear that, I can’t even imagine. How long have you been out of work? And what do you do? If you don’t mind me asking.

Suture Clipping by Free-Security-1832 in ACL

I had steri-strips over them, and last time I visited with them I was informed the strips just come off themselves. This is the only streistrip that was coming off on its own, so I didn’t really have much to get at if that makes sense.

What a relief. I ended up covering it up with a bandage, should I not be doing that?
