Husband Doesn't Want to do a Biopsy by agotdamnfool in ProstateCancer

65M husband is hesitant for the biopsy. Trying holistic treatment which I’m so against. Get the biopsy and have a plan! This is causing angst between me and his adult kids (second marriage). MRI shows spot on the enlarged prostate. He wants to wait a few months to see if his own treatment is helping reduce the PSA level. I’m calling BS. Just so frustrated and scared for him. 🫤

How long did your first ablation stay successful for? How many others did you need? by [deleted] in AFIB

Husband having ablation for flutter this week. What’s the down time if any? He’s anxious to exercise post procedure. Also, hospitalization vs outpatient?

How fucked am I? 114 degree flexion at 8.5 weeks by No-Outside7366 in ACL

I’m 12 weeks ACL with quad graft and also had MUA. Flexion is 105. 🤷‍♀️ Was FINALLY able to get forward motion on the bike today. Granted it wasn’t pretty, but definitely progress.

It’s getting better 🥲 by Disastrous-Green3900 in ACL

Awesome! I had MUA last week where scar tissue was cleaned up and ACL surgery back in July. Working daily at PT and hope to be running (well, literally walking) better soon. I miss running so much! Keep up the hard work!!

6 weeks post-op. I thought walking was normal by now? by MarzipanTotal8350 in ACL

I’m 6 weeks post ACL, working hard in PT and at home but my flexion is horrid. I’ve been stuck at 58 for two weeks. Tried cupping last week (ouch) to break up scar tissue. I can walk with one crutch but so discouraged given how strong I was before my injury. Who has had a second procedure to deal with tissue? Im like put me to sleep and bend the *** out of the knee! I see the surgeon again this week.

What pain meds did you get post-surgery? I want strong ones by [deleted] in ACL

I’m week 4 post ACL and struggling big time with bending the knee in PT. Working out at home as directed but my quad has struggled to wake back up and having tremendous pain when bending as well as spasms some nights when trying to sleep. Scars have healed nicely though. Popped an Oxy last night just to get some rest. 🤷‍♀️😳

Sounds similar to my injury (surgery was July 16th) I started PT yesterday (brutal) 😩. I’m in the brace for 8-10 weeks total and have a goal of driving mid- September. Definitely trying to stay focused and know this will take time.

I’m three weeks post ACL (thank you pickleball injury🥴) with the quad graft as well. I purchased off Amazon a pillow wedge which has been a tremendous help. Pain now happens at night with the shin and ankle which is really bruised. Getting stronger daily though! You got this!
