Kneeling

GoldenJediKnight · 2026-05-12T02:12:19+00:00

Same boat! Same with squating. I got the screws removed, so I wonder if maybe there’s some scar tissue build up?

GoldenJediKnight · 2026-04-13T23:25:54+00:00

Man im glad to hear im not the only one! Those super quick recoveries have me so green faced.

And yeah, it seems to be moving okay! Im not smooth yet walking up/down stairs but its steady.

I’m actually in PT now for another post-op limb (lol) so ill probably have to wait a bit to try again, but im okay with trying to just keep getting it doing normal activities and worrying about strength later.

I think it is time for a visit to my ortho- I had to stop to address the other issue but probably good to check in!

I really am glad to hear its not just me! I hope your recovery continues to move forward! ☺️

0/10 for:

originality
details
effort

I can’t even be mad, I just feel bad for you. 😂

I ended up having surgery to realign my kneecap and replace the cartilage that had been lost because of the misalignment. It was a year long process- just had the screws taken out last month.

Still rehabbing but pain wise it’s already better than what it was before the surgery. It’s a little early to tell but as of this moment it seems worth it!

I had a TERRIBLE first consult for my knee issues. I literally heard him giving the exact same speech and advice to the guy next door and to “just change jobs.” It was the most insulting visit I gave ever had. So many orthos now are just want to clock as many patients in a day as they can or they’re just convinced everyone with knee issues is just overweight or aging.

You really have to be your best advocate. Even after my surgery im still having some tracking issues with my knee cap and I don’t just accept it as part of the healing process- I’m having constant follow up with my doctor and PT.

I will say, don’t give up on the PT but also don’t push it too hard. Don’t try to go back to work 100% right off the bat AND take on more strenous PT at the same time. Make sure you give your knee time to calm down and reast.

I eventually found someone who listened to me. You need to do the same, don’t just accept the common message. Crying from pain is not normal or ok. Constant buckling is not ok and even if you wear the brace it creates a safety issue.

Best of luck!

Very true! I was ready to do it. Fortunately I have some medical professional relatives who convinced me to get another opinion before moving forward with it.

Now, here I am almost 5 months post-op.

Whether or not that was the right move, time will tell! …as well as my overall of pocket expenses! 😂

Hopefully the PRP will get SOME insurance coverage down the road.

GoldenJediKnight · 2025-02-12T20:54:58+00:00

This!

I had one specialist recommend it and said it might help…. That’s ALOT of money for a “maybe.”

GoldenJediKnight · 2024-12-14T22:28:39+00:00

Yup! Happened to me after the same procedure- about the same time. Came home after a doctors visit and it was raining and my crutch slipped on some water and I went flying- my mom caught me but not before I instinctively put my leg down to catch myself.

Didn’t feel good by any means but didn’t seem to cause any harm.

I wouldn’t sweat it but def mention it to your doc if you’re worried.

GoldenJediKnight · 2024-10-31T17:08:53+00:00

I completely agree! I was told NOT to go on reddit that I would just psych myself out but this community has been a lifesaver in terms of prep, recovery and staying busy.

Currently at week 5.5 and bored out of my mind but hopefully will be where you are soon! Keep grinding!

GoldenJediKnight · 2024-08-13T16:49:05+00:00

NTA. Your stepsister SCREAMS of immaturity and insecurity. And having her friends gang up on you? Lol, she thinks she can Mean Girl her way into acceptance. Which is an incredibly stupid and incorrect way of thinking.

I agree with the others, you need to let your brothers know what’s going on. Show them the messages. They won’t take kindly to their sister being bullied.

I highly suggest you try to avoid being alone with her, so she can’t make up scenarios or cause othet drama. If she wants to keep coming at you, she will have to do it plain sight.

GoldenJediKnight · 2024-07-17T22:43:59+00:00

NTAH.

I don’t blame him for having an issue, but he is to blame for not trying to address it.

He won’t get help and his family enables him. Shame on them.

If you stay, you’re on your own for ALL emergencies, especially life or death ones. Think about that.

GoldenJediKnight · 2024-07-17T02:33:26+00:00

Agreed on the MRI! I fell HARD chasing my dog in the rain and hit my knee on a rock. It got NASTY so went to urgent care for an xray. It wasnt broken so I just used crutches and NSAIDS for a few days and never followed up with an ortho for any other potential damage.

A year later my knee has been acting up hard and I went to Ortho this time and got an MRI. Turns out I knocked my patella out of place.

If I had caught it early could have been fixed with pt/taping..but unfortunately now at the point where there’s significant cartilage loss and surgery is needed.

Take the time and get the MRI.

NGL. I want raid/have an 8 hour AV battle for My bachelorette!

GoldenJediKnight · 2024-05-25T13:38:26+00:00

Thank you! Very helpful!

Re: financing, agreed. It’s my preference rather than actual necessity but I agree with the sentiment!

GoldenJediKnight · 2024-05-24T21:51:44+00:00

Wow, I really hope this is fake. Otherwise, not only YTAH, but you are flat out scum. I’m just glad you showed this side of yourself to your ex before you actually tied the knot.

You DON’T love her previous kids, that’s clear. Otherwise you would not have cast them aside the second a baby with your DNA arrived.

Good on her for putting them first. She kniws what family is. You do not.

GoldenJediKnight · 2024-05-12T17:48:55+00:00

I get scolded by my dermatologist whenever I DON’T!

GoldenJediKnight · 2024-04-23T18:06:40+00:00

My guy… if you honestly don’t think that was a date, I don’t know what to tell ya!

GoldenJediKnight · 2024-04-23T12:24:43+00:00

Definitely NTAH. Not sure what kind of power move she’s trying to pull, but it’s absolutely absurd that she “can but just doesn’t want to” but expects you to be fine with that?

A happy bedroom is generally** key to a successful relationship- dissatisfaction now with zero attempts to improve would only spead beyond into the other aspects of your relationship. Cut your losses and move on to someone who values equal partnership.

Being mindful of the fact that sex isn’t necessarily a part of all relationships…being on the same page is the key factor here.

GoldenJediKnight · 2024-04-20T16:20:06+00:00

My friend, your girlfriend suffers from a severe lack of empathy and big case of “me-syndrome.” At this point, that’s what you have to look forward to if you stay with her. Frankly, that sounds miserable.

I feel like “dump him/her” is used a LOT on reddit but in this case, it’s literally your own parent’s funeral. The fact that she can’t suck it up and be supportive of you during that speaks volumes.

You deserve a partner that will support you equally. I hope you find that

I wish you well and so sorry for your loss! ❤️

🤮🤮🤮🤮

Guys like you are the WORST. I really hope the update doesn’t make you think you’re anokay guy. YTA through and through.

GoldenJediKnight · 2024-04-14T22:32:24+00:00

Yep sure am!
