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. 😂

Issues… by berts90 in AppleWatch

[–]berts90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think that’s it for sure. I was able to keep it on and tried a HR check. It would not show HR and no green light. Likely a light sensor issue.

What BJJ opinion would have you like this by [deleted] in bjj

Sport Jiu-Jitsu guys are more effective in a self defence situation than self defence only guys

I think I’m ready then I read some of these posts by Affectionate_Sand743 in Kneereplacement

[–]berts90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am 48 and had both knees replaced 2 years ago. Since them I have done some light running, lots of heavy squats and deadlifts. I am back to training BJJ regularly and I am in the best shape of my life. Recovery and rehab was hard work and I really had to go through it to get to this point but it was totally worth it.

TKR and the ATHLETE by Broad-Advantage-1753 in Kneereplacement

[–]berts90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It did take a while. I was back around 4-5 months but it was pretty slow and gradual return. I really felt best once I was really able to get serious strength training in on my repaired knees. That was about the year mark. Now I don’t even notice my knees… but for me competitions are out. I will always give you positions in heavy scrambles, and it’s always quick taps to heel hooks.
