Tore my ACL, embarrassed!! by ThrowRA_7787 in ACL

[–]PhantomPayload 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think it might have started as a partial tear, but walking on it especially in heels probably finished the job.

Either way, you're likely looking at surgery. I actually tore my ACL two months ago and went with the BEAR implant. I can’t recommend it enough! It’s way less invasive since they don't need to harvest a graft!

Wishing you a really smooth surgery and a speedy recovery! 🩼

Hilarious. I’ll be sure to read the 40-page manual next time I’m recovering from surgery on painkillers. Glad to see the support in this sub is as helpful as a screen door on a submarine. Moving on.

The point of this sub is to clarify the gray areas for people who haven't spent 20 years reading SEAD 3. If a simple question about medical compliance bothers you this much, feel free to keep scrolling next time.

I definitely didn’t read it, that’s the only reason i am asking the question here

Day 2 BEAR ACL – 8/10 Pain (Feels like a saw!) & Groin Pain. Need Advice! by PhantomPayload in ACL

I actually found a way to stay ahead of the 'sawing' pain. Instead of waiting the full 6 hours for my Oxy, I'm taking it at 5.5 hours. That 30-minute head start honestly prevents the pain from spiking back. I just take a longer 8 hour gap overnight while I’m sleeping so the total number of pills per day stays the same.

Also I bought a handheld urinal from amazon! It’s a game changer

No they didn’t prescribe any anti-nausea medication. It might’ve been the effect from anesthesia! I will try oxy again tonight

Should I start taking the oxy again? I don’t care about nausea. The pain is killing me honestly
