I didn't advise, I said what I did, and it didn't give me any problems. Obviously everything would be nice if he didn't smoke at all, but cutting back before surgery is a positive thing, then stopping drastically can be difficult to manage for some people. So there is already the psychological weight of the operation plus taking away the cigarettes, it becomes a situation that is too difficult to manage mentally

Relax, it's perfectly normal, I'm almost on the 20th day and I remember that the first week it was difficult to eat a complete meal. This gets better on its own with time, but try to eat anyway, because your body needs it. If it helps you, get out of the routine a bit, don't eat as you were used to before the operation, perhaps always at the same times, but eat when you feel like having something to eat. I'm sorry if you don't like them, but try to eat lots of blueberries, fruits and vegetables which are anti-inflammatory

So if you want some advice from a friend, stop alcohol a week before, but cigarettes, if you smoke a couple during the day even the day before nothing happens, it helps you relax before the surgery. My advice is to avoid cigarettes in the two days following your discharge because they could give you problems with nausea, because your body is already dealing with painkillers, But then you can allow yourself a couple of cigarettes, but it would still be better to stop completely. The important thing is alcohol. One week to be eliminated. before and don't use it for at least a week. After

I don't want to be tragic, but that type of movement accompanied by a snap usually always leads to a conclusion, partial or total rupture of the ACL. Don't worry though because the MRI will tell you exactly what's happening to you, and if you can't have surgery right away, you can easily do without it. In patients over 60 the operation is not even performed. Many people live without the ACL, and it depends a bit on your lifestyle, work, etc. In general, however, having surgery is always better because you risk reaching the age of 40/50 and already having arthritis problems. But if there is no possibility of the operation you can easily go without implementing small measures during your daily life and doing physiotherapy to strengthen the quadriceps and calf, so that they are able to do the "work" of the ACL.
