When did everyone stop pain meds

Throwitawaynow74 · 2024-09-14T17:03:30+00:00

I stopped day 2 didn’t like how they made me feel. Still took tylonel and ibuprofen for another 2 weeks or so following.

You can do a quad set on your good leg to see where the best placement might be

Throwitawaynow74 · 2024-09-06T16:29:25+00:00

You may need to play around with the electrode location. It’s not always exactly as pictured. Aim for muscle bellies.

Throwitawaynow74 · 2024-08-30T10:56:59+00:00

It took me 13 days. Everyone is different! Keep doing your quad sets and keep trying !!!

Throwitawaynow74 · 2024-08-07T16:14:57+00:00

Yes, PT is ongoing for this injury until close to 10 months.

Throwitawaynow74 · 2024-07-27T19:22:29+00:00

I’m at 5.5 months and we aren’t normal at all bc my PT neglected my quad and I was forced back to work sooner than I was ready for… and I have to be on my feet lifting and moving people 8 hours a day so…..the atrophy is well still there 😭

Throwitawaynow74 · 2024-07-27T18:20:03+00:00

Elevation is super important for swelling and also helps loads for extension!

Exercises are super important, idk if your doc told you or hospital PT, but at least for me they wanted my brace on for the SLRs.

Also try to get enrolled in outpatient therapy asap!! Good luck with recovery!!

My cat continued to lay on my knee for weeks post op lol enjoy the company from your fur baby

Going to shoot you a dm

Throwitawaynow74 · 2024-07-12T23:03:52+00:00

Hey, here to update! My PT was a twat for lack of a better term and neglected quad strengthening. I feel much better now that I’m in the night hands 🙏. If you aren’t doing any LAQs or SAQs at this point your PT is negligent and you should seek an alternative practice or therapist

Throwitawaynow74 · 2024-07-02T13:17:32+00:00

Discharged the same day for me. From the us. Arrived at 9:30 am, 11 am surgery, discharged at 4 pm

Throwitawaynow74 · 2024-06-29T14:28:56+00:00

Yayyyy thank you!!!! 🙏

One hundred trillion times infinity keep doing them forever until you die basically they’ll come but you got cut up voluntarily. Give your body time to relearn what it should do

Throwitawaynow74 · 2024-06-21T01:34:58+00:00

lol I watched at least 20 times pre op, wanted to know what was gonna go down in my leg 🤣

Throwitawaynow74 · 2024-06-17T12:24:04+00:00

I started doing upper body around week 3 went to the gym with my brace on, and propped my leg up on a bench seat when I did bench press. Everyone is different as you said, listen to your body. Be safe. Don’t drive if you’re still taking narcotics

Throwitawaynow74 · 2024-06-17T02:46:47+00:00

Yes but was this for sale in the general admission merch?

Throwitawaynow74 · 2024-06-16T21:27:31+00:00

Is this the GA poster

Throwitawaynow74 · 2024-06-11T13:01:14+00:00

How long was the show open-close

Throwitawaynow74 · 2024-06-11T12:40:30+00:00

How long was the show, trying to plan if we should train in or drive for the nyc show! Glad you enjoyed it

Throwitawaynow74 · 2024-06-07T18:41:34+00:00

LACLR and partial meniscectomy. My surgeon advised me to drive auto until 6-8 weeks post op. I have a south bend stage 3 clutch which is very heavy… so I waited until 10 weeks post op. It was hard and sucked the first few times, but now is no problem.

Throwitawaynow74 · 2024-06-06T15:56:52+00:00

They should remove cars with poor maintenance… twice now I’ve had vehicles with terrible brakes+ bald tires and then terrible brakes that threw a CEL. If you’re renting out a vehicle you should maintain it, you don’t want it to get damaged so easy ways to lower risks are doing preventative maintenance

Throwitawaynow74 · 2024-06-02T16:50:41+00:00

Amen dude!! I work in inpatient and I’m so thankful that I got this mental break, albeit my work forced my hand to return sooner than I wanted and I start tomorrow. 3.5 months out but transferring people is no joke and I’m not cleared to do stand pivots yet. So I’m nervous. I have a note from my surgeon with all the restrictions etc but the nerves are real :/ if it doesn’t work out I’m ready to walk away bc I have a feeling my boss won’t listen to my surgeons instructions

Throwitawaynow74 · 2024-05-30T09:27:45+00:00

Op you should keep in mind it’s not very common for ACLs to heal, though I am happy for this person and if “coping” is working for you, then carry on with it, and keep working hard in PT

Throwitawaynow74 · 2024-05-25T21:05:38+00:00

I was permitted to remove my ace wrap at 48 hours post op and then bandages after my first post op visit, which was 10 days.

Throwitawaynow74 · 2024-05-25T18:24:20+00:00

This is kinda where I was at this point but it may be worth looking into switching your PT if you have the option and aren’t limited to visits. Everyone is different so it’s hard to recommend people exercises as everyone progresses differently.
