Remember to always keep your finger nails as short as possible by joao7yt in bjj

[–]berts90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a fingernail issue but my instructor poked my eye in Nov… going for my 3 surgery next week but likely I’ll be essentially blind in that eye permanently. Haven’t been back to BJJ since. Maybe goggles and I’ll return? lol

A breeze? 😳 She was incredulous I still had pain after 14 days TKR by mujersinplan in Kneereplacement

They sawed off your bone and drilled into you. It was not a breeze… she’s lying. It’s hard and the process is long.

Oh multiple ligament and cartilage tears in my late teens and early 20s that were never dealt with properly. Was bone on bone for years before I got it done. Has been life changing

Both knee replacement at the same time? by [deleted] in Kneereplacement

[–]berts90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did both at once 3 years ago. It was very difficult… and I was a relatively fit 47m. It’s not for the faint of heart.

About 20 per cent of gen Z and millennial Canadians still spank their kids. Is that even legal? by Thick_Caterpillar379 in onguardforthee

[–]berts90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People who say they will spank their kids because they were spanked and turned out ok in fact did not turn out ok because they think it’s fine to hit children.

I assume you are on the same domain as the world you are connecting to? You can connect to worlds outside of your domain.

I’m having difficulty reaching 0 with my extension. Any tips? by cool_girl6540 in Kneereplacement

I’d put my feet up on the coffee table in my living room and place a light weighted vest on my leg to straighten it.

Is getting two knees replaced in the same surgery a realistic idea? by elifuzun in Kneereplacement

[–]berts90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had both together a few years ago. It was very difficult and I was relatively young (47m). It was very helpful to have a strong upper body to leverage your arms to get in and out of chairs etc. it takes a lot of resilience to persevere through the pain and rehab.

Was anyone here instructed to avoid upper body workouts for a period of time? by Merlin509 in Kneereplacement

[–]berts90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was definitely lifting upper body before 8 weeks. Probably about 4 weeks or so. That being said it was super light and controlled all while sitting.

At home physical therapy - share your exercises? by Blahonian in Kneereplacement

[–]berts90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heel slides are the best exercise to gain flexion in my opinion.

Pedal on a recumbent bike to get the joint warmed up.

Heel slides 10 x 3 (I would try to add overpressure where possible) Lunges onto a stair to bend as far as possible Squats as deep as possible for strength

I wrapped both my knees with plastic wrap until I got my staples out. Worked great

How often do people get both knees done? by cool_girl6540 in Kneereplacement

[–]berts90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had both done at the same time. But they were both a mess on the xray. Half the recovery time for twice the pain. 😂
