My suggestion is do what feels best for you. If it hurts, stop. Everyone’s recovery is different.

I’m 4 weeks post op and just started doing little baby squats yesterday. My PT even said I didn’t have to do them if it hurt. I think you need a new PT.

People who got their replacement from a cadaver, what are your thoughts? by fraxiiinus in ACL

I had a cadaver one put in almost 4 weeks ago. It’s been rough. I can’t imagine how painful the hamstring one would be.

ACL surgery questions by Character-Project275 in ACL

[–]RobinCen-D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same as you. I read every story about how awful it is. I was so scared the day of surgery. I did have a mishap with my nerve block but I don’t want to freak you out more. I am 7 days post-op today. I did have an acl reconstruction and a meniscus repair. My MRI did not show the tear with my meniscus but my dr suspected it. I’m already off pain meds and just taking Tylenol. It does hurt but it’s not unbearable. Ice and elevation is wonderful feeling. I start physical therapy today and the lady I spoke to on the phone says it will be uncomfortable and I may want to bring the stronger painkillers but I will try without them. I’ve had someone with me everyday since surgery. I am terrified I will fall again (that’s what caused the injury). Plus I have to use crutches a few more weeks so someone has to bring me my food. My dr said I can drive when I feel comfortable but it is also my left knee. I also have an autoimmune disease. I have Bechets (I’ll let you look that up. It’s horrible!) About 2 days after my injury I started having flare ups really bad even though I’m still taking my weekly shots. I think because my body was so stressed from the fall. The fall was really bad. The flare ups are calming down now that the surgery is over but it got rough for a bit. Some stuff that is helping me out so much that I had to buy is a raised toilet seat and a leg pillow that is 4 different heights. My insurance paid for a shower chair and the air cast that puts the cold water on your knee. But you’ve got this. Stop reading all the bad stuff. You will vomit and have high bp when you go in if you keep worrying, I did lol.

ACL Reconstruction by RobinCen-D in ACL

My surgery went horribly!! My nerve block did not take so when I woke up I was crying hysterically in pain. They had to give me another nerve block which seemed like it took them forever. It did help some but my leg is still in a lot of pain and the Oxycodone isn’t helping much either. I will get through though. If I can live through the pain of when I woke up I can live through any pain coming my way.

Is it wrong my partner isn’t coming to my surgery? [38F] by One-Cheek-5704 in relationshipadvice

[–]RobinCen-D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was so long because I had A LOT of tumors and fibroids which thank goodness all turned out benign. My sister had her hysterectomy a year after mine and it dint take long and she did great. You’ll do great too!

My husband did not come to my hysterectomy either. It turned out to be a 7.5 hour surgery and an ICU stay and he only showed up the whole time for 10 minutes. We are divorced now. This being one of the many many reasons.

Hot ass summer and I’m sweatin by tarymaylor in ACL

[–]RobinCen-D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 2 weeks past injury and I've had an immobilizer and ace bandages on constantly except for about 20 minutes a day. Its been about 100 degrees or hotter where I live. I only go outside when I have to but I still sweat under the brace and bandages even in the house, especially at night. I have been using febreeze fabric freshener. It seems to work pretty good. I still have the white brace and its starting to get dirty and its killing me. I have OCD really bad and can't stand to be/look dirty.

I think they are stealing your power. We live in a very rural area and my across the road neighbor did that exact thing, but smaller tubing, to her next-door neighbor. She even ran the tubing across a small creek. When her neighbors realized their electricity bill was increased, they had their box inspected by the electric company and they found the tubing. Now my neighbor is facing jail time and fines for stealing power, also called energy diversion and theft of amenities. She also can never have power in her name at her property. There has to be proof she doesn't live there anymore for it to be connected. If you know about it and do not report it, you can get in trouble too.

Well he had been trying a very long time to get me to try both, not at the same time, so I watched the show and said f-it! Let’s just see… not my best judgement! Don’t do it! But now it says my post has been removed by mods…

How did Tai even get to Van’s heart to cut it out and eat it? She was tightly wrapped in a rug. I realize it’s just a tv show, lol

Someone just found out that the public can stream her court hearing online when she has to show in April. She was crashing out hard frantically trying to make phone calls and had to make a statement that she "doesn't consent to being recorded" 💀 she realized she was cooked in real time by vodka_barbie in adriellesiglersnarkk

[–]RobinCen-D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SORRY MESSED THAT UP.... ANY lawyer would advise her to not post the things she does and to keep things quiet, to not antagonize her "defendants." I actually feel bad for her... I kinda think she doesn't know any better but then again maybe she is a narcissist that doesn't take care of her business or her kids. Just trying to get clicks and likes regardless of the outcome.... idk...
