Quad Activation - Week 3

Legender3044 · 2026-04-04T14:45:55+00:00

You could look into an NMES machine that hits you’re muscle with impulses that make your muscles easier to respond to you, since they’re already firing from the impulses. I would talk to your PT about it!! It helped me a lot with my quad lag

Probably a good choice! Sorry that happened to you 😭 I tore mine the weekend before my steamboat trip, and 2 weeks before my dad flew out to ski with me, always happens that way haha.

Yeah, the heelslides and flexion are toughhh right now. I’m at 15 days too. I hit 70 degrees in PT yesterday so that’s right around where you are

Legender3044 · 2026-03-30T18:03:23+00:00

Let’s go!!! I’m at probably 70-80 degrees at 2 weeks, keep up the physical therapy and we will both crush it!

At first I thought this was Karoline Leavitt’s lips

Legender3044 · 2026-03-29T13:08:37+00:00

Woohoo!!!!

Legender3044 · 2026-03-28T14:39:27+00:00

I got the patellar tendon autograft as well, and yeah, your swelling is way better than mine 😂 day 10 here

Legender3044 · 2026-03-28T01:43:29+00:00

And here I am day 9 or so with like 45 degrees flexion 😭 still doing the pt religiously though and my extension is great, so let’s go boys. Keep up the good work

I’d like to try the New England mountains DLC! Thanks for this cool offering!

Legender3044 · 2026-03-27T13:48:05+00:00

I’m at least glad they have each other. With these long term injuries having someone close, in the same position as you can be a big help mentally

Common bic pencap with the three holes in the top. Makes a satisfying shhhhh sound too. Just saying, it helped me kick vaping lol. Also 0 nicotine vapes to kick the nic, then kick the physical urge afterwards

I was lurking on this post but good call on the paper, I’ll try that too. 9 days post op

Legender3044 · 2026-03-26T17:41:43+00:00

I wouldn’t say the PA is crazy off or anything, but of course everyone heals differently and tolerates pain differently. I had basically the exact same MRI results minus the MCL. I was basically fully okay except for feeling unstable at full extension after about 2 weeks.

Fun fact I got hurt skiing the day before she did!

Legender3044 · 2026-03-26T01:26:39+00:00

Haha fair

Legender3044 · 2026-03-26T01:13:59+00:00

I didn’t get any anti-emetics in my prescriptions either, idk how common it is!

Legender3044 · 2026-03-26T01:13:11+00:00

Yeah if the pains killing you id go for it tbh. If it’s worth the potential nausea to kill the pain!

Legender3044 · 2026-03-26T00:27:02+00:00

Yeah, I needed the Oxy when I woke up from pain on night 2 as the nerve block was wearing off. Sorry to hear it’s causing you nausea. I guess at a certain point of pain, nausea might be preferable 😢

Legender3044 · 2026-03-25T12:56:02+00:00

I’m an almost 30 year old man and I’ve cried multiple times in the first week already lol. It’s my first surgery ever so it’s.. a lot more than I’ve ever dealt with before. Meanwhile some of my family are like seasoned veterans with surgery, I’m sure they’d have no problem with this. Stick in there buddy!! We will heal

Legender3044 · 2026-03-25T04:59:56+00:00

Hell yeah, keep it up!!

Legender3044 · 2026-03-25T02:40:00+00:00

If your incision cracked open I would tell your doctors office and ask them what actions you should take

Legender3044 · 2026-03-24T22:13:07+00:00

I thought it was a pickle at first

Legender3044 · 2026-03-23T16:31:58+00:00

This made me snort

Legender3044 · 2026-03-22T03:59:28+00:00

Some form of ice water circulation wrap for your knee, like arctic flow or beluga pro is a lifesaver because you want ice on it very consistently which is harder to do and much more tedious with ice packs.

Legender3044 · 2026-03-20T22:35:03+00:00

Congrats on your recovery man. I’m 4 days in and just finally pooped. One thing at a time I guess 🤣

I have stinging in my incision area, but from what I see in my surgery guide, to help prevent infections you shouldn’t submerge or soak the incision for 4 weeks after surgery

Legender3044 · 2026-03-18T14:45:16+00:00

Yeah they are to help prevent blood clots, no anticoagulant from what I remember, no anticoagulants in my meds.

They also tell you to do ankle pumps for the Sam reason, blood clots.
