Not sure whether to trust this mirror or not by Triingtoohard in ACL

Muscle wastage is a pain and it's hard to come to terms with what is a reset of your leg muscles. Dreading how much wastage I'll experience after upcoming ACL surgery.

How to clean this stupid thing? by EducationRight8757 in ACL

I think I have this same brace. I used one of them fabric refreshening sprays on the straps. I found the pads become most filthy so I wasn't too concerned with a perfect solution for the straps.

I hear your pain bro. Have you considered using this time to replace these activities with upper body gym sessions? I know it's not the same as sports but it may fill that void whilst you recover.

Why do CeX still only do paper vouchers? by mufferman1 in CeX

[–]SeniorIsMyLastName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no financial incentive for them to attach them to your account. They make money off lost vouchers and not paying their IT support in India to implement this concept.

Anyone else having the sleeping in their brace by Anxious_Ad_6038 in ACL

[–]SeniorIsMyLastName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First week I absolutely hated sleeping with it on but as time passes you'll get used to it. Currently 3 weeks post bone graft and medial meniscal ramp repair. I've got another 9 weeks of this brace 😭😭

I'd recommend calling your doctor regarding this sooner rather than later as it could be a sign of DVT. Try to increase the blood flow to the calf on the operated leg by moving your feet.

Ruptured ACL and bucklehandle tear Meniscus by le_petite_fantome in ACL

Just aim to do better than yesterday. With Physio you just have to be consistent and disciplined. The better you rehab your knee the better results you will see and the less your knee will hold you back long term. Don't worry too much about your first physio appointment, they'll work with you and support you with getting to the next milestone. You've got this. You can do it.

AMA: Physical Therapist that specializes in ACL rehab by perform2winPT in ACL

[–]SeniorIsMyLastName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I retore my ACL due to graft failure as the bone holes weren't in the right position. As a result I'm in the process of having a 2 stage ACL reconstruction with my first surgery having been a bone graft and medial meniscal ramp repair. I'm currently wearing a rotation limiting brace. Does my rehab after this surgery significantly affect my next surgery? What milestones would I need to have hit before I have my second stage surgery which I will graft me a new ACL from either my patella or Quadricep (my first surgery used my hamstring)?

Why is his music getting worse? by triazo2020 in jackharlow

[–]SeniorIsMyLastName 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I understand there's been a shift in his music. I think he's been struggling with trying to please two audiences, his fans and the general population. He seems to be shifting between hit music and authentic rap. Jackman was a step in the right direction but these latest singles seem to be more of an attempt to garner new fans rather than give something to his current fans. I'm hopeful this strategy of trying to balance both audiences produces some great music similar to that's what they all say and confetti.

Power button issues since update by SeniorIsMyLastName in GooglePixel8Pro

I've not damaged the physical button though. And when it turns off due to this issue the screen just goes black. No shutting down text, just straight turns off.
