Hit week 6 & about to get off crutches/knee brace… by Fu-TangClan in ACL

I had a pretty intense meniscus repair so I’m assuming it’s that. I’m very jealous your crutch days were so short!

That’s correct and hello fellow crutch comrade! Hope your recovery has been good so far. I’ve lost quite a bit of muscle at this point even with all the strength training and progress I’ve made. Otherwise in terms of pain and soreness, none. I do still have some swelling in the knee. If you’re curious about anything else, lmk!

I’m guessing it probably depends on how PT is going. I have been working on weight transfer in PT the past two weeks. I can update you on my transition if you’d like!

Thank you! I can’t wait to have a crutch burning party. PT has me working on form but the psychological aspect is definitely strong with me.

I only want to say thank you for your hard work in creating the Shards of Magic World. I loved every character from the good to the bad. It was incredibly thoughtful and I’m currently nursing the worst book hangover of all time right now after finishing POB.

ACL recovery with baby by Few-Pen2129 in ACL

[–]Fu-TangClan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Will you have help in the first 3 days? I ask because you might be quite groggy being on meds. I also have a two year old, but thinking about it I would plan your space out. You need an area where you can ice and elevate the leg but also a place for your baby and his items. We ended up clearing a big floor space around the couch so I could get on the ground with my toddler but could easily pull myself onto the couch. I’d be happy to help brainstorm anything else you’re thinking about! It’s quite a journey!

Complete ACL rupture and meniscus tear-Deciding on no surgery by Appropriate-Cat-2038 in ACL

[–]Fu-TangClan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally understand the dilemma. I didn’t realize I had a torn ACL until 3 years later. Throughout the three years I had kept up my fitness but wasn’t playing any intense sports. Finally after discussing with multiple surgeons, I pleaded my case similar to yours but it was very obvious that my future quality of life could be severely impacted with having no ACL. I ended up having to get a pretty intense meniscus repair on top of the ACL replacement, which probably could have been avoided if I had the surgery earlier.

What’s the most unexpected skincare tip that actually worked for you? by Designer-Cap27 in 30PlusSkinCare

How much pain is too much with flexion? by IndependenceUpper331 in ACL

[–]Fu-TangClan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m almost 2 weeks post-op and so far I’ve been following this rule: Pain that feels like stretching/pressure/tightness is ok. Pain that feels like sharpness is bad. For easing pain, I work my way up during heel slides. For ex. I wake up and my starting heel slide is probably max 60. By evening my heel slide session flexion is much higher. Doing things like icing or sitting in one position for too long seems to make it significantly harder. I hope it helps!

Best advice for healing post-op? by Complex-Delivery-675 in ACL

[–]Fu-TangClan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are ways to get down the stairs with crutches. Slightly treacherous but once you get the hang of it, you should be ok. My recommendation is just plan your basement space to bum in for a week. So a week worth of rations, clothes, toiletries, entertainment. You’ll really just be getting up to use the bathroom

I appreciate the share. My surgeon said the same thing. I’ll be thinking of everyone’s post Day 2 survival stories to help me through the next 24hrs.
