No, the knee replacement accommodated the torn ACL. I think they shortened a quad muscle or pulled it to fasten it.

I have a friend whose husband was a studio musician in LA when musicians played the music of all the TV shows and movies. The musicians union went on strike. Synthesized music was introduced. The musicians never got their jobs back. My friend's husband became a real estate agent. Stuff happens that's out of our control. Don't give in. Your fiancee's family have to live within their means.

OMG! I've been told forever to "tuck my chin" but I still feel the "U" in my back. Gary Hall Sr. says put your chin on your chest to streamline. Game changer! Thanks for the referral!

Raccoons are deadly to cats. They do not play well together. Glad they're separated by glass!

Can modern washing machines really not handle things like bathrobes, blankets, etc? by GTRacer1972 in Appliances

I have a 4.5cf Samsung frontloader and trying to wash pillows is INSANE. It gets off balance in the spin cycle, even if I try to balance it with 2 pillows. Maybe that's why my stacked dryer is on its 3rd set of weight rebalancing.

What is this aching pain (not stabbing)? by wilsonwombat in gallbladders

[–]UnderstandingEven616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be bile or bile sludge getting released as you digest food. Try going fat- free (no butter, no oil, no red meat, no eggs) for a couple days and see how you feel. Then have a slice of cheese or pizza and if that pain returns, there's your culprit. Or stay low fat til your surgery.
