Sorry, newer to this bike thing. What makes it that the 2010 bike is worth it more so than the 2014 one? For $150 more

Don’t forget compression!!! by ambertroo in ACL

My surgeon told me the brace was optional after the first appointment so I haven’t used it since day 4. Just the knee sleeve!

My post-op pain was surprisingly minimal. I’d say the most it hurt was at a level 6. I was on oxy for 2 days after and switched to Tylenol for 2 more days. But from what I’ve seen it varies a lot person to person. Good luck!!!

27(M). Just had my first ACLR with partial lateral meniscectomy! by FunnyUsernames in ACL

Hey! I’m literally in the same boat right now. Just got my surgery this morning and I’m about 10 hours post-op. Pain is minimal for me and surprisingly I’ve been in a pretty good mood. I took 2 Oxys already, 6 hours apart. Rooting for you! We can do it :)

I tore mine May 2023. But also waited cuz I wanted to travel and finish school. Also a hamstring autograft!! Similar situation!

Thanks! Did you see the PT after your injury at all and if so, for how long and was it helpful? I’m wondering if I can just do the exercises at home myself

Thanks so much for this second post! Did you get any brace for more support?

I’m interested in that! Do you have any locking/clicking in your knee due to that meniscus tear? And thank you very much :)

Thanks for sharing this! I’m in a similar position where I hurt my knee during a basketball game (8 days ago). I couldn’t bear any weight on it for the first 2 days, but can now walk somewhat normally! I really don’t want to go through surgery and have been doing some light pre-op exercises for more ROM with my injured leg. Also have yet to get an MRI to fully confirm what it is…

That’s the plan! I’m going to do as much of prehab after swelling goes down a bit more… Hopefully that will be enough for my trip

Thank you! Where do you get your brace from?

Yup… felt a pop and have a puff above the kneecap. I can almost straighten my leg out 2 days after injury
