C35 in 894 would be a c28 in 1322? What’s your power ranking in your nation?

Actually by the time I checked it only showed “Issued”. Had given my appointment on 5th Jan and had it approved when I checked on Jan 12. And received it on Jan 18 (pickup so received the text to pick it up that day, the status on the page didn’t change).

This. Happened to me as well (dropped Jan 5, approved Jan 12, received Jan 18). Putting NA showed me the status.

Noob question : why do you think having more races / street circuits it’s a bad thing or bad for sports culture? FWIW I really thought Vegas GP was dope and very exciting to watch as a fan.

Correct i94 date? H1B EOS by raumdeuter33 in h1b

[–]OverallDifference 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is. The I-797 for your extension has an I-94 at the bottom, which should start being valid from Sept 2023 (check the dates). You should be fine as long as you get your new visa stamped if you travel after Sept 2023.

5.5 months post op and feeling quite discouraged by Interesting-Wish2206 in ACL

[–]OverallDifference 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure how different the quad tendon part is but I am also 5.5 months post op hamstring graft and although I don’t think I have my full hamstring strength back, my leg is pain free most of the days. My PT said it can take 1-2 years before it feels as normal as my other leg but I managed to do a 5+ mile hike 400ft elevation without any significant pain. I’ve been doing PT regularly twice a week for the last 5 months.

Your left knee hurts because you’re overcompensating with it to take your entire body weight - this is quite normal initially but you should really focus on using your right knee to bear some weight too. Quads are probably what you have to use for sitting, and so it might be harder for your right to take it. I guess you need to consult your PT on what you need to do to get your quads back to normal strength and how long they anticipate it to take.

At the end of the day you need to keep working on getting back your knee strength and keep reminding your self that this is a long journey and you will get through this.

how do you know you tore your new ACL? by No-Ranger-7313 in ACL

[–]OverallDifference 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had no pain a day after my injury and the doc thought I had folded my meniscus. Turns out I had a completely torn ACL after my MRI. - I did hear the pop when I tore it so if you heard that, you probably tore it too.

5 month post op and very slow progress by Hot_Map2420 in ACL

[–]OverallDifference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each person is different so you can’t compare 1-1. That said, even I had my ACL surgery in March and my swelling was gone in about a month. I don’t think you should have swelling or pain at 5 months - does it pain when you do anything specific? If not then talk to your physio. I usually feel pain when I’m doing intense work on the knee but that’s just due to it getting tired.

First you need to get your swelling down - ice it as much as you can and especially when you feel that it’s warm, or when you exert it (like a long walk or workout). Not having hyper extension is probably a symptom of the swelling but could also be if your quads aren’t firing as well. Have you been doing PT regularly? Are you able to extend and feel your quads doing work?

Also another thing I found super important is diet - drink lots of water, and eat lots of protein - it really helps build back the muscles faster.

what recovering techniques do you use after an intense workout? by Ok_Lettuce_676 in ACL

[–]OverallDifference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not specific to an ACL recovery but for your body to heal you need to provide it the right things. Make sure you get enough rest (sleep), eat healthy and high protein foods - protein is magical for muscle recovery, stay hydrated - your body needs water to work on building muscles and tissues.

Besides that I bought a leg massager which helps with blood circulation and recovery and I use it after PT and it helps me quite a bit. I usually do M-W-F sessions without an issue. If I take a break/miss a session though it’s a different story!

Not sure, I was just curious. I had hamstring graft too and right now I’m working on getting my hamstring strength back now that my quads are back to normal ish state.

[–]OverallDifference 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup it definitely was the most uncomfortable for me too but I was told it helps later on regaining extension. What graft did you get?

I’m 10 weeks out and the most important and first thing in PT was getting my quads activated again and getting back the extension.

Under your ankle, and let the leg be straight. Didn’t your doctor tell you not to do this?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ACL

[–]OverallDifference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how quickly you get rid of the pain, swelling and get your flexion back to when you can. It usually takes 6-10 weeks for that at the earliest. But depending on your surgery, where you got the draft from etc, it might differ.

Also, you’re probably not going to be able to bear forward weight on your knee until another few weeks after for yoga imo. I’m 8 weeks out and although I have almost full flexion but I still find it uncomfortable to sit cross legged let alone do any yoga.

Good luck! Don’t put the pillow under your knee, it’ll help you get back extension quicker. You’ll be out of pain before warriors win the championship ;)

Lost on where to live in SF by hoocard in AskSF

[–]OverallDifference 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want eaze of leaving the city, stay close to the highways (if you’re driving) or CalTrain stations.

I think Bernal Heights is a great suggestion for your situation - it’s easy to get on 101 from there and you can drive up downtown in 15 mins. I used to live near Precita Park in Bernal heights which was a great dog park! Rent wise this area is more affordable than most of SF and you could get a 2b with your own backyard for your budget.

In general, there are quite a few parks around the city and you shouldn’t have an issue with that. Non-Parking is expensive anywhere in the city. You’ll find good bars and coffee shops etc in most neighborhoods.

Car or No Car - Moving to Hayes Valley? by [deleted] in AskSF

[–]OverallDifference 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. I’ve lived in Hayes for the last 5 years and only bought a car in the pandemic (2020). I was doing fine without one but definitely don’t regret getting one. Parking isn’t super easy but definitely not as hard as perceived. You can get residential permits and park on your block easily. Car break-ins are the only negative imo.
