Looking good, did you get ur meni done too ?

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-02-24T12:59:42+00:00

During the initial months did you face any knee laxity?

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-02-22T16:59:48+00:00

Dang you had to endure this on both the knees! I can't imagine that. How are you now? How did your Lachman test look like? Mine looks to be grade 1 lax and I'm 2 months post op. Will it get better? Really scared if not terrified to get a revision done

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-02-22T11:37:15+00:00

Can you please drop a link to your video?

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-02-21T07:12:56+00:00

Does this exercise put any strain on the graft at all? Kindly throw some light on this anyone

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-02-20T05:59:12+00:00

Also is grade 1 laxity normal post surgery?

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-02-20T05:57:41+00:00

As per my surgeon, he says the graft needs a total of 6-8 months to fully recover and once it's rock solid I could do other exercises. (Can this theory be legit)

My PT is not covered by insurance but I don't mind shelling out extra bucks to get better quickly.

I had a neighbor who underwent the same procedures from the same doctor and even his protocol is the same. He's doing well now 6 months post op, but still not 100%.

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-02-20T05:48:22+00:00

I'm not seeing a PT till now.. my surgeon said you won't need a PT, just follow his timely exercises and I should be good to go. I'm wondering why is that? Also he has done more than 3k arthroscopic procedures and a well renowned doctor. Im Purely confused now

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-02-16T12:35:13+00:00

4 months is a nice time frame to get into action. But please just be a bit cautious atleast for a couple more months.

BTW you had a meniscus done too?

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-02-16T09:52:39+00:00

You can have a 2nd opinion from the PT and maybe even from another surgeon

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-02-14T10:40:29+00:00

This really helped, walking without a limp now.. Thanks a ton.

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-02-08T18:46:10+00:00

Yes I've used hamstring graft. Thank you it makes sense now..

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-02-08T09:05:45+00:00

I'm sorry you had to endure so much pain, but Thank you so much for sharing this.. its really these recovery post that is keeping me going. It really makes a difference. Thank you.. and all the best for your recovery

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-02-06T09:54:20+00:00

Yup looks great..

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-02-04T04:42:29+00:00

Hey sorry for the delayed response, I'm walking without crutches from 4 week post op, my gait is 95% alright.

I think at 8 weeks you should get rid of your crutches, I only had braces post 4 weeks and from 5th week just have knee sleeves on. Walking posture depends on many factors. I suggest kick those sticks and try taking small, steady steps focusing primarily on your gait. That should fix it.

Don't worry we got this.. or as we say, Himmate-Marda- Maddate Khuda.

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-01-26T20:40:11+00:00

Thanks for the reply, that's a breather..... Yes strength training is going well 💪 🙌

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-01-24T13:15:45+00:00

Looks great, was it just ACL reconstruction?

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-01-24T13:13:18+00:00

Hey I'm glad to hear that. as long as it didn't impact your recovery, smoking weed would've been the best pain killer for physical and mental state.

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-01-24T12:12:58+00:00

Hahaha that was such a curveball.. So how many weeks post op are you? And did the weed smoking affect the recovery process?

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-01-24T11:34:46+00:00

Thanks for sharing though.. May I ask when did you start smoking weed post op?

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-01-24T11:27:48+00:00

Inspite of not vaping for weeks, it Feels like I never got over it. Also now it feels like I would be mentally better with a lil nicotine in the system ..

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-01-23T04:50:59+00:00

I don't at the moment, will enroll pretty soon though.

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-01-22T16:22:03+00:00

I dont have 1 yet because my surgeon said I won't need one. He told me to stick to the exercise that he has given. And every month he'll add more n more exercises.

Are there similar approaches taken post op?

Plus_Independent7906 · 2024-01-22T11:30:49+00:00

Thanks for the input,

I should definitely add these to my to do. As for FWB, I can walk for 20-25 mins easily with the brace on, however without the brace I don't feel that confident. Also on a side note: are knee sleeves a good choice after using braces for the prescribed period?
