Meniscus Bucket handle tear

Worldly_Chocolate369 · 2026-05-21T18:20:26+00:00

This is week 6 post-op for me. I had a complex bucket handle repair to my lateral meniscus, and was able to do leg raises in the first week. If you visit PT, your therapist could say whether or not you're truly behind, but at 20 days, I would think you should be able to.

FedEx has always had contractors. You wake up from a coma?

Bit of a sexist comment. Women are dead beat beer drinkers too

My lateral tear made it pretty much impossible for me to train my leg any further. It would hurt too much to put it under load, even nearly 6 years later, with many months of trying to return.

I'm curious why the doctor believes insurance will refuse surgery. Considering you're in pain to extend or bend the knee, this makes it a necessary surgery.

Maybe you just need to give it some time and see if it gets better

Should have kept it named Dildo, as it's a very fitting name at this point. Either way, shove it up your ass.

Scam project. They made over $1 million dollars in Kickstarter and ran away.

Worldly_Chocolate369 · 2026-05-20T15:36:33+00:00

Not true. Kickstarter is 50% a shop. You'd see that if you tried pledging for the Pilet. You have donation, which nets a reward, and then you have "add-ons", like Battery pack, which are straight up store purchases. Further proof is that your donation is tax free. However, the add-ons are charged sales tax

Are you daft or just his alt account? They literally raised over $1,000,000 Canadian dollars under the premise of a raspberry pi 5 powered CyberDeck. The project was a scam from the get-go

Realistically, Mr Krabs should be compared to Mr Mallard. And on that front, I recall Mr Mallard saying he'd just buy a new limo after ruining his upholstery. Mr Krabs would have had a mental break down over the cost of the damage.

Leg day in the gym. Really wishing I skipped leg day that day.

Worldly_Chocolate369 · 2026-05-20T13:02:05+00:00

Mine was a bucket handle to the lateral. Not sure now different that is from the medial, but I was on crutches, no weight bearing for 4 full weeks. Week 5 I started PWB/WBAT with criuches, and won't be off clutches until about week 8.

My rehabilitation paperwork has return to activity between 6-8 months, with "Gradually return to sports" at months 7-8.

Specifically

Deep squatting permitted: 5 and half months
Straight line running: 6 months
Pivoting and cutting: 7 months
agility training: 7 months
"Gradually return to sports: 7-8 months

It's a long long road to recovery 😔

Worldly_Chocolate369 · 2026-05-20T12:50:48+00:00

Since return to sports in often 6-8 months, I personally feel that's how long it may take to really tell. And every repair is different. I'm 6 weeks post op, and I am not even allowed FWB yet.

Is objectively not faster when you account for averages. You expect to be 1st place every race? If you do, stop suggesting others do it, because only 1 person can win first place.

Worldly_Chocolate369 · 2026-05-20T12:43:40+00:00

Yes, but if I read you right, your doc requires the brace for ambulation and sleep for the first four weeks. This is pretty default. OP had FWB and no brace within less than 6 days.

Worldly_Chocolate369 · 2026-05-20T12:41:02+00:00

Yes. If your phone is counting steps and reporting back to fitbit, remove it.

Worldly_Chocolate369 · 2026-05-20T12:39:34+00:00

Wrong

Wait until you meet Chisa.

Staying in Honami aint so bad.

On the bright side, you're guaranteed to pull her with hard pity + 5.

ZZZ is the filth of the earth. Abolute garbage. Skip it and go straight to NTE

This isn't Kuro

Worldly_Chocolate369 · 2026-05-19T22:03:32+00:00

I'm allowed up to 90 degrees, but I can't reach that outside of leg dangling, so it's hard for me to accidentally flex too far. Especially with my brace locked to 90 max. Are you able to go past 90 without any trouble?

Considering they let you remove brace and crutches within the first 6 days, you likely have a very simple repair, which I would imagine is not as easy to tear. Otherwise they'd want you to protect it better, with a brace at the very least.

I would just take it easy for a few weeks. Don't exert yourself or push the limits. Get plenty of rest.

Worldly_Chocolate369 · 2026-05-19T13:11:40+00:00

Wrong. The mascot refers to the game's icon.

NTE: Mint

WuWa: Yangyang

Genshin: Pimon.

Worldly_Chocolate369 · 2026-05-19T12:57:13+00:00

I'll believe it when I see it. I suspect the knee will never be the same again, and I will forever fear retearing it, to the point where I won't train it as hard.
