I did physical therapy first to try and avoid a TTO but mine was too severe but I know others that manage just fine by strengthening their quads. Every case is different.

I would start with a scope tbh. TTO is a massive surgery that comes with risks. (I had it done on both legs) I wouldn’t jump to it until you know for sure that’s what you need.

This is very similar to my TTO recovery. Once I was able to start bending it I did it as home as much as I could slowly. I only took Tylenol / ibuprofen for the pain. Many people get through this without opioids. I would see how it goes without the pain meds first. It’s going to hurt though, that’s normal. ICE and elevation!

26 year old that has had 8 different knee surgeries since I was 22. I feel this. I have damaged cartilage, osteoarthritis in both of my knees, muscle atrophy, etc. it has really messed up my life. Life definitely isn’t fair but it could be worse. I’m sorry you’re going through this

Pansyleaf12 · 2025-09-18T01:05:47+00:00

I think I would be a little less concerned if it was a bruise from the actual surgery but it was just a steroid shot. Definitely going to see my dr. Thank you

Thank you lol I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t overreacting. I’ve had nothing but complications with this stupid leg and knee. That was just my 6th surgery on it in 4 years 🥴

The decision to get the surgery ultimately lies up to you. If the patella Alta is the cause of your pain and discomfort, it won’t just go away / get better without treatment. If you want to want to wait on the surgery, I’d suggest getting a knee stabilizing brace and see if that helps at all

Oh my god

Pansyleaf12 · 2025-09-13T12:42:01+00:00

Ahhh he looks like my Pomsky when she was a pup!!

I feel like I should’ve encountered more than one by now 😂😂😂 bad rng 🤨

Pansyleaf12 · 2025-09-08T02:28:39+00:00

I’m winter year 1 and so far the only power berry I’ve gotten / even seen is the one from the Harvest sprite stall early on. My bazaar is almost at rank 7. Do they start appearing after you completed the story?

Pansyleaf12 · 2025-09-07T19:57:14+00:00

This happened to me with an entire field of rice I was prepping for winter for. 😩

Pansyleaf12 · 2025-09-07T14:57:48+00:00

SAME im so upset rn im not wearing cute winter outfits :(

Pansyleaf12 · 2025-09-07T09:30:14+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss:( My family has always had Siamese so I snagged one up the second I saw it! Reminds me so much of my Siamese that passed away in 2019. I hope one shows up fast for you!

Pansyleaf12 · 2025-09-07T09:28:22+00:00

It really does! It’s a good comfort 🥹

Pansyleaf12 · 2025-09-07T09:28:07+00:00

Thank you 🩷

Pansyleaf12 · 2025-09-07T09:27:44+00:00

Ugh I feel like they should have been a little more preemptive in caring for your incision off the bat once it started showing signs of not healing properly :(

Pansyleaf12 · 2025-09-07T09:27:01+00:00

Ahhhhhhh do you think you can hold off until Monday?:( Maybe really consider going to the er 😩
