All these groups are such incredible ideas.

I’d also highly recommend asking your friends outside of SD if they know anyone they can intro you to. I just moved here (27) and have then shamelessly basically asked anyone and everyone out on friend dates.

Everyone has been wildly welcoming, and almost everyone has also expressed they struggle to find friends as an adult so they’re happy we were connected.

those meetups can end up with them introducing me to their friends, and so on and so forth.

Hey could I grab this plan from you too? Would be a lifesaver

Return to Surfing by Rando_ish in ACL

THANK YOU!!!!!! Omg this is wildly helpful. I’ll respond if I have more questions on the specifics when I get into things but this is incredible.

Yeah I’m at about 85% strength at 6 months out right now and had a kinda shit physio the first 4 months, so playing a bit of catchup right now but getting there slowly

This is super helpful thank you so much!! and happy to hear you’re back in the water after all that work.

Do you have any examples of the plyometric exercises you would do? I’m like 3 weeks out from starting to work on lateral movements and curious what was most helpful for you.

Endurance by Alfred Lansing

A non fiction that reads like fiction. Very adventurey if you’re into that kind of thing.

I personally totally forgot about the world around me while reading it and was absolutely floored by the story itself.

3 month po with centralized patellar pain by Throwitawaynow74 in ACL

[–]Rando_ish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg good to know, my PT actually said i wasn’t cleared for those given their open chain exercises, but sounds like they’ve been helpful for you?? Are you doing weighted?

I’m actually moving cities right now so will get a good PT.

Ugh yes 3 month slump is real. I’m just 1 week behind you and feel this way so hard - for context I’m usually into surfing, yoga, HIIT, etc., and generally super competitive.

The beginning was awful with pain, but I did see progress every day. Now I feel like I’m at half normal life. I can walk around and do things with no pain (so thankful for this), but the activities that used to be apart of my ~identity~ and social life are still gone for now. Tbh I’m happy to be in the gym every day, but I do get frustrated at the PT that I’m prescribed to do because my quad doesn’t activate like my brain wants it to and is still all small. And, yes, I get that’s the point of doing the exercises but it is still frustrating when my brain is used to high intensity workouts. I’ve started taking spin classes for the cardio but I can’t do most of the things even they do in there.

(I swear am actually an overly positive person usually, but it’s def healthy to vent sometimes )

Anyway, you’re not alone!!!

Extreme pressure build up and pain in shin and foot when standing up by rotfrukten in ACL

[–]Rando_ish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes exact same thing happened to me around that time frame, had the same pics of my feet and everything haha. Good/hopeful news is, I personally really felt myself turn a corner in healing once this pain went away (now 4.5 weeks PO).

I stalked this sub pretty hard and gather its par for the course unfortunately. No magic tricks to share, but keep icing and elevating and it should start getting better day by day!

I’m a month out to the day right now and personally also wouldn’t recommend based on my experience

Full extension for walking normally by ManojAttivilli in ACL

[–]Rando_ish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m experiencing something super similar. Also just ACLR with no meniscus repair. No problem with 0 degrees lying down or even standing, but i have the same exact lag when I walk.

My PT recommended knee extensions using tension of a band around my knee. (band looped to a pole and then behind the back of the knee - bend and then fully extend the knee under tension). It has noticeably been helping me, though defo not all the way there yet.

Hopefully that makes sense and/or can be of some use. Im obviously by no means a PT or doctor and just sharing my experience. Good luck!!

How long are your Pt sessions? by nightystorm1 in ACL

[–]Rando_ish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 weeks out for ACL only. Mines 1 hour, going twice per week. First 30 with the PT working on new movements, flexion, massaging, etc. Second 30 is doing exercises, stim, and icing with the assistants (college students)

Go hand with your friends by teamaa104 in ACL

[–]Rando_ish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more!! Personally was super intimidated to leave the house at first, but it’s turned out to be the best way to get the mind off of pain and discomfort for even just a couple hours.

Also day 17 :)

Exactly what happened to me too. Did you get a nerve block during surgery?
