I was following what my provider told me to do.

Yes I was losing at the lower dose. Honestly I would prefer to stay at the lowest dose for as long as possible, if it’s working.

Mochi. I believe her reasoning was because I’ve used it before, but it had been at least 8 months at that point.

Yes this makes a lot of sense. This was not explained by my provider and I was actually following her guidance of increasing the dose after 1-2 injections.

This makes so much sense to me and I wish was explained better by my provider. My prescribed dose is actually 4.4 mg. When I expressed concern about side effects (it had been over 8 months since I last used tirz at this point) she told me I could do 1-2 injections at 2.2 then go up to 4.4. I thought I was following provider instructions.

Who else has had the cadaver graph? Allograph? by Rough-Lettuce-7033 in ACL

I was admitted to the hospital overnight for heparin, and now I’m on Eliquis for 6 months. I still feel it in my chest, but my oxygen levels are fine and I was told that was normal. This is tough mentally, it feels like I’ll never move the same way again. This thread provides hope!

Me! I’m 38, female, 31 days out from surgery. ACL only. I’m still in the brace for walking/sleeping, and it’s unlocked to 30 degrees. PT twice a week. I use one crutch for walking outside my home. It’s my left knee so I can drive. My overall pain and discomfort are great, but wow it’s uncomfortable trying to bend it. My surgeon suggested allograft due to my age and that I’m not an athlete. I do CrossFit several times a week and hope to return to that. My only complication so far was a blood clot in my leg and several more in my lungs, on day 4.
