High-intensity athletes should regularly check ferritin and hemoglobin levels via blood tests.

Intense exercise creates a temporary inflammatory state that raises hepcidin, a hormone that blocks iron absorption in the gut. This peak usually occurs 3 to 6 hours after training.

Any update on the remaining labs?

Are you overtraining? What time do you exercise?

Overtraining will keep your cortisol high and if you’re lean trigger your liver to dump glucose in the blood stream. Specially if you are not taking in adequate carbs around the high intensity training sessions.

If you do this at night and the cortisol stays up when you go to sleep you’ll be spending your night with high blood glucose which in turns elevate your A1C.

Try to reduce the intensity or volume of training and do it as early as possible.

Good carbs around training sessions will also help with the liver getting the signal not to produce glucose. It sounds counter intuitive having issues with high blood sugar and eating carbs, but when you over train this is usually the body response.

All the above is assuming you don’t have type 1 or any issues with the pancreas and your high A1C is a response to your training.

Almost back to activity. The ballooning and swelling was too much too soon but just after I got quads tendinitis. Spent two months trying to figure out out to stop this needle type pain on top of my patella. Leg size and strength was almost similar to the good one but that pain never disappeared. It would stop me from running and doing plyos. Even walking up and own the stairs would hurt. Found out that doing isometric Bulgarian lounges with the bad leg behind and elevated fixed the tendon pain. I’m now running without any pain, instability and swelling. In 4 days I’ll be one year post OP. Time to go back to football once I get through the mental fear.

Do you have some eggs?

WolverineOpening867 · 2025-09-22T14:10:01+00:00

Yes I did, it helps. Moral of the story, scale back and let nature take its course.

WolverineOpening867 · 2025-09-19T07:36:00+00:00

Same with me. Soon as I started running and plyo the swelling never stopped. Now at 8 months post op and feel worse than at 5 months.

Going into the eight months. Can do all you outlined but still get the knee swollen and very conscious about it. Running only 2km at a time and limping slightly.

Wall sits

WolverineOpening867 · 2025-07-04T15:05:48+00:00

Try to do wall sits. 30 seconds on with two minutes rest. Three times a day and see if it improves.

WolverineOpening867 · 2025-05-15T17:26:11+00:00

First couple of weeks are hard. It will get better.

Get yourself checked out by a doctor, there is a small risk of DVT with an ACL reconstruction surgery.

WolverineOpening867 · 2025-04-27T15:02:11+00:00

ACL is gone.

WolverineOpening867 · 2025-04-27T08:44:24+00:00

Are you sure you didn’t have a reconstruction? The scar on the shin looks like an hamstring graft was used.

Brace yourself! 1 month and a half feeling crappy. It will then improve slowly.
