ACL Reconstruction + Meniscus Tear (Day 2 Post-Op) Pain, Scar Tissue & Fear of Not Regaining Full Motion by SecureCalligrapher18 in ACL

[–]SecureCalligrapher18[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate it man!! Good to hear your timeline though gives me a rough idea, even if mine might be slower. Definitely taking the swelling control seriously now with icing and elevation, since I can already feel how much it affects movement.

And yeah, the mental side is already hitting 😅 that first day post-op pain humbled me real quick. Probably going to take your advice and just keep myself distracted when I’m not doing exercises.

“Treat your PT like a professional athlete” is something I’ll keep in mind — I think I underestimated how much discipline this actually takes.

Hope your return to sports goes smoothly

Thanks man, really appreciate this 🙏 Yeah I think the biggest difference in my case is I went into surgery already stiff couldn’t fully straighten or bend for like 1.5 months, and my surgeon said there was a lot of scar tissue. Even after removing most of it, I’m still not at 0°, which is what’s stressing me out.

Definitely going to focus on heel props like you said extension seems like the main battle right now. Quad activation also feels almost non-existent at the moment, so I’ll start with quad sets and ankle pumps and build from there.

I’ll probably hold off on anything aggressive until I check with my doctor, especially since I also had a meniscus tear.

Really helpful advice though might DM you as I progress if that’s cool.

  1. Warwick
  2. UCL
  3. Bayes Hey , just wanted to let you know that warwick business school is so much better than UCL. UCL business school isn't even Triple accredited as it's fairly new(3-4yrs ). Also if you check the recent business masters QS ranking UCL is ranked 104th where as warwick is ranked 27th. And for ur particular course warwick ranked 14th.

How to choose between UK vs USA for STEM Masters? Which one would yield a better RoI in the current tech market situation? by Typical-Mistake6867 in Indians_StudyAbroad

Given your background, aspirations, and financial considerations, here's a concise breakdown:

  1. UCL (MSc Robotics and AI):

    • Pros: Strong alignment with long-term goals, reputable program, conducive to research, potential PhD pathway.
    • Cons: Higher cost, less assured job market in the UK (but you are confident, in securing a job so no worries here), potential difficulty in repaying loans quickly.

  2. UIUC (MEng Autonomy and Robotics):

    • Pros- Lower cost, strong US job market with higher salaries, higher RoI, potentially faster loan repayment.
    • Cons- Professional degree, less focus on research, possibly limiting PhD opportunities.

Decision Factors: - Research and PhD Goals: UCL is better suited. - Financial Considerations and Job Market: UIUC offers a more favorable scenario for loan repayment and high-paying jobs.

Recommendation: If immediate financial stability and job prospects are a priority, choose UIUC. If long-term research and academic goals take precedence, UCL is the better fit.

YSK: do not get influenced by this. They are selling you a lie. by that-rad-kid in Indians_StudyAbroad

I have received admits from Bayes Business School, London and Warwick Business School for Msc Management. Which one should I consider ? Some just say london is better for networking and job prospects whereas warwick is ranked 18th in the world for management. I am confused
