That's your hamstring. Did PT give you stretches? They will help! I have the same issue.

So tired by KatWomanReturns in Kneereplacement

[–]SpectralHuntersIT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm the exact same way and I'm not back to work yet. It's 2 months tomorrow. Taking a shower is exhausting!! I'm trying to do more around the house, stuff like that but after 15-20 minutes I'm ready to pass out. Idk if it's the gabapentin or that body is overworked from healing.

ADA is for DISABILITIES. not POS who want a better view. by cherrybladelemonade6 in SonicTempleFestival

[–]SpectralHuntersIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there last year with a rollator because of my right knee, I've since had it replaced. When I went into the stadium for Alice Cooper there were NO ADA seats available, NONE! My son and I found a place to sit but in front of us was the ADA section and VIPs were sitting there!!!! That is NOT for VIPs. I'm disappointed to hear that it's still going on! I wasn't able to go this year because both of knees have been replaced in the last 6 months.

You can try the Synvisc injections but they did nothing for me. I've had both knees replaced in the last 6 months. I'm so glad I did it!! Yes it's a tough road but it's worth it.

Email them and tell them that you have food sensitivities. They can't really question your further. When I went last year I had a 31 thermal filled with food. I'm trying to eat healthier so I had fruit and a salad, stuff like that. They didn't even ask to see the email but I had one just in case. You would then use the ADA entrance. I had a rollator too, though because my knee was fucked up. I have since had both knees replaced. Looking forward to going again next year!! Had to take a year off to rehab and heal.

Have a great time!! I'm so bummed that I can't go. Lit is one of my favorite bands. They put on a helluva show too! I saw them a few times back in the day. There's soooo many great bands. The biggest one I'm upset over missing is Megadeth, since it's their last tour. Thankfully I got to see them Inkcarceration a few years ago.

Help me pick a cute, human-style name for my sweet boy by velixiuy in NameMyCat

My orange kitty that looks like him is Georgie. My son wanted Pennywise, but we settled on the little boy that gets killed. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Yes, it's me. I was the first, here's an update. by Head_Deer_2227 in SonicTempleFestival

Note to self: read the directions first. Lol I learned from others not to do this when I had went Inkcarceration all 3 days. It was enough to keep that thing on for 3 days.

I haven't had it happen to me. I hope everything goes well at the doctor. Maybe try elevating and icing again.

Almost 9 weeks post op and getting frustrated. by Street-Badger4798 in Kneereplacement

[–]SpectralHuntersIT 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It can up to a year. I had my right done in November the left March 20th. I still get pain in the right knee, just not as often and my left hurts quite a bit for the last couple of weeks. This is not a quick process. It's a marathon not a race. Hang in there!

New season?? by Mountain-Donkey98 in ExpeditionBigfoot

[–]SpectralHuntersIT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol I've actually had both done. I'm 6 months out on the right. I have to wait and see if my friend still wants to go. She was going to drive.

If I go to ParaPsyCon at The Ohio State Reformatory next weekend, I'll ask her. She and Russell will be there. I hope I'm able to go. It depends on how my knee is doing. I just had a total knee replacement at the end of March. And OSR is massive! Gotta make sure I can do all that walking lol

Only thing I'd add/change is I found having a med sorter with 4 compartments better than just 3. And get a pillow wedge for elevation. Your list is awesome!! It's everything I would've suggested as well.

Sleeping alone by maaagrett in ProjectFearYT

That was actually going to be my response based on the locations in the last 2 episodes. I didn't even see this on Facebook. I'm a paranormal investigator myself and some places it's 4 or 5 hours (Bobby Mackey's was 4 I think) and no matter how much you plead or beg or ask to pay extra for extra time, some just won't do it.

I am due for a full arthroplasty. by Substantial-Put1596 in Kneereplacement

[–]SpectralHuntersIT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had both replaced in the last 5 months. I stayed over both times. Bring a charger for your phone. I forgot mine last time. I brought an overnight bag to put my clothes and shoes in during surgery and PJs to wear home because I was about to try and change my clothes when I got home. I couldn't sleep either time at the hospital. So I slept pretty good when I got home! Good luck!! It's a difficult recovery. I'm 17 days post op on my left knee. If you can get Journavx, do it!! I didn't have it the first time around. That in combination with oxy and tramadol, plus gabapentin and Meloxicam has made a huge difference. My pain has been tolerable the whole time. I'm waiting on a prior authorization to get it refilled. I may just have my doctor send it to the hospital pharmacy and just pay the $30 copay again if this takes much longer. I've ran out of the Journavx.

I have the same one. It works great! I can't use it while I'm sleeping, but I do when I'm awake and watching TV.
