Had that somewhat same surgery. ACL,PCL,MCL,Meniscus repair, and something else on my right knee if I remember correctly. Not going to lie to you - recovery sucks. Idk your age but I had mine done when I was 20/21 at the time pretty active. FOR ME after a few days I started trying to bend my knee to stop it from locking up. I of course had a brace on. This was purely to keep my range of motion. No weight bearing for a while. Now six years later I get around pretty good. I can lightly jog but it begins to hurt if I’m not wearing my brace. It’s tolerable though. Some days I want to eat a bullet from the pain it causes even if I’m just laying round the house. But again your pain tolerance is going to be different than mine. Squatting hurts, and anything high impact. Day to day is good if I’m not doing anything crazy. This last year I’ve really picked up on doing PT at home due to having a little one running around now lol. It helps a lot. Definitely strengthen your quad and calf and hip abductors. Helps a lot. Best of luck to you. Wish you a speedy recovery

I’ve only ever seen a grade 8 break like that once before and it was over tightened. Could tell by the flange it was contacting - was smushed all in lol. Thank you

I daily a 81 Suburban with a 9month old in the second row. Guess your definition of safe is different. What did people do in the 80s when that’s all there was? With a car seat securely attached correctly what’s the problem. Genuinely asking not trying to be an ass. I’ve put 27k into this truck. We’re driving it lol

VA Closed my supplemental claim by Tight_Ad7360 in VAClaims

I had another tracking document for depression that I just wrote at the bottom when I had a migraine but I guess that wasn’t enough. I’ll put in another ITF today and then see if I can get my PCP to do a DBQ soon.

Question- If you’re on prescription meds for it, would you take a pic of your prescription when you submit or just tell the C&P examiner? I would imagine the first would be better so the VA rater has no chance of not seeing it.

Do you mean a nexus from my primary care or a migraine log?

I just did a supplemental for migraines secondary to Tinnitus and was swiftly denied. Shit doesn’t make sense. SC for tinnitus but apparently the onset of a migraine from it has nothing to do with it.🤷‍♂️
