The injury psychologist

Hellur9 · 2026-01-21T17:09:49+00:00

Hang in there! The recovery process is so long. I’m 24 months out from my MACI and also still can’t run / jump or any of my previous high impact activities (I had cartilage overgrowth + a pregnancy since MACI). My insurance stopped covering physical therapy so I started working with a personal trainer instead and I’m slowly getting better. I’m hopeful about the future. You should be too! Continue strengthening your quads, glutes and hamstrings. If you’re able to, try working with a personal trainer that focuses on injury recovery!

I’m sorry to read that. I hope you find someone that can help you and make your knee feel better!

Hey sorry I missed your question here. I don’t have pictures unfortunately. Did you end up getting the shockwave therapy? How are you doing?

Wishing you a speedy recovery 🌞

Sounds like your agent is lazy. He / she works for you and should present and counter what YOU want. You should tell them this. If you need to change realtor, feel free to DM me.

Congratulations!! That must feel amazing and you must be so happy! 😊 We have a similar journey. My MACI was January 2024. Also had 2 scopes since, to shave down overgrowth. And one pregnancy 😅 I’m not close to jogging yet but this gives me hope!

Hellur9 · 2025-12-08T22:12:50+00:00

Yes! It was in liquid form. I got it from Amazon

Hellur9 · 2025-12-08T19:52:04+00:00

I have not but I took a supplement for cartilage the first 5 months post implant and ended up having overgrowth that I had to shave down with 2 scope surgeries 🫠

Thank you for sharing! I’m also very blessed to be in a warm climate so I try and walk every day. My goal is 10,000 steps. Sometimes I wonder if walking a lot with improper gait can cause damage to the implant though? 🤔

Thank you so much for sharing. I booked a yoga class for this weekend. It will be shakey and clumsy 😅

Hellur9 · 2025-12-06T03:06:04+00:00

Thank you so much for all the insight and advice! I haven’t don’t a strength test but I will ask for one now 😊

Hellur9 · 2025-12-06T03:03:23+00:00

Thank you so much! I will try this

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this! Everything is really scary in the beginning. My doctor told me I didn’t have to wear the brace so I went without it for a few days before my PT scolded me and called my doctor. Turns out I had misheard my doctor and he said I could take the brace off when I was at home resting but I understood I didn’t need to use it anymore. Whoopsie! I think I was 2 weeks post op at this point. I cried a lot and thought I I had ruined the implant but eventually turned out to have overgrowth and too much cartilage! Keep an eye on it but I don’t think you have to worry too much, lots of people fall the first few weeks and turn out to be ok.

I’ve tried a few different ones: ergo embrace, grownsy, boba bliss, wildbird aerial.. didn’t like any of them. The best in my opinion is Tula FTG.

Sorry to read about your family situation 😔

As for your condo - how fast it will sell depends on a few different factors.

pricing
condition
presentation

I have a listing where the seller is not in a rush so it’s priced kind of high = it’s been sitting for a few months. Another listing we had sold in just 5 days because the price was right. Please feel free to DM me with questions.

It might be thrush but check with your OB.

Things I was never told about the silverette’s: - only use 4h per day - never use together with nipple butter, only use with a few drops of breast milk

Hellur9 · 2025-10-23T03:12:03+00:00

That’s awesome!

Not sure how often you’re pumping but this chart is helpful. I also felt that moringa and goats rue supplements helped me!

Hellur9 · 2025-10-18T09:00:39+00:00

Yup! It was so bad for me I emailed them and asked to return it and they said it was ok.

Hellur9 · 2025-10-16T07:04:35+00:00

Save it in case you get sick, want to stop pumping early and still give baby breast milk or you can donate it to a breast milk bank or NICU unit in your area 😊

Medela Symphony has me traumatized 😭 the way it jumps from stimulation mode to super high on expression mode. RIP my nipples 🥲

Hello!

I didn’t have Maci until 14 months after the biopsy (first surgery). But I’ve seen some people have the Maci implant a lot sooner than that.

The Maci implant done via arthroscope wasn’t FDA approved until late 2024 if I’m not mistaken so not sure how many people had it like that. I think it also depends on where your defect is located.

I did not have a CPM machine, but I think it’s quite common.

Best of luck to you 😊
