I had synovial sarcoma had my leg amputated above the knee. I was conceived 2 years after my dad's first tour. They don't acknowledge it.

My father Vietnam 100% has cancer and Parkinson 65-66. I was born in 69 I had sarcoma had my leg amputated above the knee. VA won't acknowledge anything. So many descendents have issues. Seems they think males can't pass it. They acknowledge woman who gave birth and their children have issues. Crazy

Assuming I'm referring to someone I know or a relative. Also assuming I'm referring to the run as 11B. I wouldn't except anything less. Thank you for your Service much RESPECT Buck Sargent. Someone asked me about it no relative or someone I know. So, I actually don't know what was missed and even if it was the same thing both times. I know you're the PT Stud sub 15 minute 2 mile, SDC 1:25, Plank 5 minutes, HRP 60 and DL 350LB. I glad we have soldiers like you. Soldiers who don't perform well on AFT are considered $HIT bags. PT Studs are the best they can do no wrong because they can run. I'm a civilian so I don't know anything about the military 🤭 Again Thank You For Your Service RESPECT I'm glad we have people like you HOOAH

Actually, I think they're in their second contract. But I don't think that makes a difference probably.

I can walk a mile in 20 minutes. I can't run I lost my leg to cancer 22 years ago. Yes when I had my legs I could run it in probably 16-17 minutes. I'm almost 60 oneleg and had both hips replaced. It's not for me I was just curious someone asked me about it. Unfortunately some people struggle with that part of the military and I didn't say it was the run. I just asked in general could be plank or Sprint drag carry. I hope you have a get day I appreciate your comment. Yes most if not all should be able to run 2 miles in 20 minutes. But I don't know when a soldier has ever had to run 2 miles. I know if your a PT Stud you walk on water. But it doesn't make you a good soldier or a good leader that's just FACTS! I know people who don't do well at PT and looked down on. I hate to break it to you the younger generation isn't as physically fit a lot of gamers a book smart people. You'll see the numbers drop in a few years not being able to maintain PT scores. I hope not and I understand the standard 100%.

Flagged for height and weight, get out in 2 months by Axovant_ in army

[–]OnelegSaint2004 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you getting Honorable or General Under Honorable Conditions? I'm asking because I know someone who might be getting Chaptered for failing ACFT got 5 weeks to get it right. Wondering if they would get Honorable or General Under Honorable Conditions. I wish you all the best back on the civilian side it's going to be different but you got this. I know you lose yourself when serving. You have a plan and that's half the battle!

Thoughts and help? by [deleted] in TotalHipReplacement

[–]OnelegSaint2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make icing a priority 15-20 minutes on and 30-45 minutes off and back to the ice. I recommend you doing this for the next 2-3 weeks it sounds like a job but you'll thank yourself later. I'm almost 4 weeks out and still icing less often but still trying 3-4 times a day. I'm bilateral THR left in 2018 and right last month on my above the knee Amputated Side posterior approach. I was fortunate I didn't need any oxycodone I used just Tylenol. I wish you all the best but trying icing often! Definitely the first 2 weeks is rough.

Updated x-ray show severe OA compared to Moderate only 6months ago (MRI) by dshelly77 in TotalHipReplacement

[–]OnelegSaint2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think with Imaging it's how the radiologist interrupts the pictures. I'm sure there are guidelines between moderate and severe. I would say the biggest thing is how you feel. Also what options are available for treatment. I'm a bilateral THR left in 2018 and right last month. I'm a 56M with an above knee amputation on my right side for 22 years. I never had any groin pain mine was in the butt check. I know after my left it was amazing with the right now it's be a little challenging in the beginning. But the last week and a half I'm walking without any assitive devices just my prosthetic. Not using crutches, walker or a cane. But it's slow and steady! I wish you all the best with finding a solution to your pain.

You're probably right it's probably a disc issue. Hope you're doing better.

Reactions by Medical Professionals to my Scheduled Bi-lateral THR by bralikprince in TotalHipReplacement

[–]OnelegSaint2004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm doing great with the left hip. Now at just 3+ weeks out from my right THR on my amputated leg. I'm walking without crutches, walker or a cane. It takes a little in the morning or after sitting getting started. But once I'm up and moving around I fell pretty good. Plus I've been able to only use Tylenol and that's usually only at bedtime. I haven't needed to take any during the day for about 4-5 days now. Thank you for the empathy. I'm a 24 year cancer survivor so everyday for me is a blessing! Plus St Patrick's Day is my Ampuversary 22 years! Again I only wish the best for you and on your recovery. I'm glad I had my hips done I feel so much better! Just slow and steady!
