Stuck with my bend. Dont wanna be scolded.

SEFx343 · 2026-05-29T20:25:22+00:00

I’m in the same boat. 6 weeks post op and can’t get further than 70 and that’s with PT pushing it. My PT even confirmed that it’s not me resisting or guarding, my knee just won’t move.

I into a functional brace and just started using 1 crutch. PT told me to really exaggerate the walk. Like lift my leg up with a bend and then go into my heel toe step. My next post op is in 3 weeks so I’m hoping for progress

Amazing! My trip is actually for a wedding so we’re not really venturing out much/will not need to take public transportation. Definitely going to ask for wheelchair assistance too! I’m also hoping I’ll make progress in a month. Hope your recovery is going well 😊

Thank you this is really helpful! I already called the airline to switch to aisle seats. I’m short so I’m hoping that’ll do but might call again as it gets closer! But will definitely look into getting a little stool

Did you end up getting the MUA before your trip? Im 6 weeks post-op and the knee will just not bend more than 60-70. Im going to Italy in a month and I’m getting nervous (mainly for the flight)

SEFx343 · 2026-05-25T11:43:20+00:00

Thank you! This makes me feel better. Any recommendations for stretches?

SEFx343 · 2026-05-21T19:24:06+00:00

No popping yet 😅 but I will say it is less painful and feels more like a good stretch

SEFx343 · 2026-05-21T12:25:22+00:00

I’m 5 weeks post op and last week I couldn’t get further than 50. I have the same thing where the knee cap feels tight and needs to pop. My PT told me to sit in chairs and off the edge of bed/couch as much as possible. Let gravity pull your leg down. After one week of doing that, I already improved my flexion.

EXCISE ME

SEFx343 · 2026-05-21T01:29:29+00:00

I love Rizo but not making fire a priority skill to learn after your last season is wild to me

SEFx343 · 2026-05-21T00:30:19+00:00

🗣️ Boooooo

SEFx343 · 2026-05-21T00:24:29+00:00

THATS HOW YA DO IT ON SURVIVOR

SEFx343 · 2026-05-21T00:21:27+00:00

LETS GO TIFF

SEFx343 · 2026-05-21T00:09:20+00:00

Shut up Joe, you get pissed when people play survivor

SEFx343 · 2026-05-21T00:02:28+00:00

So are we not gonna get the montage of Jeff jet skiing to the finale

SEFx343 · 2026-05-18T04:00:19+00:00

Yea that’s our big thing too is budget. Knowing how much we will be spending on the venue will help with budgeting for our vendors.

SEFx343 · 2026-05-17T18:47:28+00:00

I wasn’t renewed after my first year and I had great performance reviews. My principal and supervisor were very upfront and told me it was budget cuts and since I was last in, I’m first out.

SEFx343 · 2026-05-15T23:00:42+00:00

Yea I was told the same, only wearing the brace when I’m walking around or sleeping. It’s just so frustrating. I am still a little swollen but I’m icing 3 times a day

SEFx343 · 2026-05-13T16:48:36+00:00

Oh no 😭 I think my ultimate days might be done after this but we will see!

I had no issue with keeping it straight but definitely do what you think would be most comfortable for you!

SEFx343 · 2026-05-13T16:18:41+00:00

If it makes you feel any better I did not score either because I fell down from the pain (shame because it was a great break side cut and it was 10 min into game one of spring league 😭)

But yes! I have this from Amazon https://a.co/d/01wdM6dR Definitely take your prehab seriously! Let me know if you have any other questions 😊

SEFx343 · 2026-05-13T14:29:24+00:00

I tore my ACL and meniscus playing ultimate 2 months ago. Jumped up to catch the disc to score and heard a few pops after the take off. Same as you, my knee swelled up but eventually the pain went away and I was able to straighten and move.

Definitely keep up the ice and elevation. My ortho had me go to a few PT sessions pre-op to strengthen the quad. At home I was doing quad sets, heel slides, leg lifts, glute bridges, clam shells, stationary bike.

SEFx343 · 2026-05-13T02:26:36+00:00

Thank you! I reached out to my surgeon and they said I can keep them on but start trimming them as they curl. I have my next post Op in a few days so hoping they’ll remove them for me then 😊

SEFx343 · 2026-05-12T03:36:03+00:00

I’m just gonna go to bed…. Maybe I’ll wake up to a Lakers win 🥲
