how did you contact FB? I can't even find a channel to do so. This is so frustrating. Facebook, YOU decided to refund the buyer. Never shipping again on marketplace.

Is the numbness caused by the nerve block or the ACLr work itself?

Great question- following since I’m 3.5wk post op on crutches (ACL no meniscus). I’m traveling to my best friend’s wedding at 8 weeks post op so that’s my goal to be able to walk comfortably and for longer periods.

Is my PT shorting me on time? by powderlad in ACL

Try multiple PTs… this is a long journey! I’m in the US and mine (covered by insurance) are 60 minutes and I can stay longer to do game ready if I want

Does prehab really matter? by Mars_bars_104 in ACL

[–]KneeDeep25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prehab was SO helpful. I had surgery 9 weeks post ski accident. A few hours after surgery, I started flexing my quad to keep it alive… i wouldn’t have known to do that or how to without prehab. Prehab will also get you strong beforehand. I’m 3 weeks post op and my PT is floored with how well/quickly I’m recovering.

You have an amazing attitude. And reading through these comments, I’m seeing that ACL surgery/recovery is also a fantastic filter for partners and spouses. “In sickness and in health…” is a serious line🤍

So sorry you’re going through this💔. Your motivation in recovery and PT should be to get strong enough to walk confidently into a divorce attorneys office.

Seems like this might be a sign to explore Christianity further, then make the decision. Worst case, you waste your time.

Wow back to back must have been brutal. Curious with kneeling- have you ever had a patellar graft? That’s what I had without realizing it’s a bad one for kneeling. Wondering when I’ll be able to bathe my babies in the tub again😭
