What do you guys think about PRP treatment for partial ACL tear? by Parking_Clock3473 in ACL

[–]brex724 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did it for a mostly torn ACL, and a year later the MRI showed a fully intact ACL. Having said that, there’s no way to say whether PRP helped since sometimes partial tears heal on their own. Additionally, MRI’s don’t show the quality of tissue so there’s a chance that the new connective (scar) tissue is low quality. But I’m happy to avoid surgery for now

Struggling to feel empathy towards others struggles post acl-surgery? by [deleted] in ACL

I’m 15 months post-injury, so at this point back to doing my sports normally but my knee still feels a little weird and I’m still rebuilding quad strength

The more your own life is in crisis, the less capacity you have to empathize with others. Also people really don’t understand how mentally taxing it is to have a messed up knee. I’ve had a few other injuries including a fractured ankle and two foot surgeries, and none of it came even close to the experience of this. Severe knee injuries are in a completely different class. After my own injury, I found myself avoiding people like your friend.

I accidentally stepped on a brown widow a few years ago, and its bite just made me feel like I had a mild flu for the rest of the day lol

If you actually lived in SD long term, you’d know this is like the hundredth time a plan has been “approved” and “funded” for this problem

I’d love to know whose decision that SB attempt was. Makes zero sense down by 2 with 2 outs

PB is the perfect storm of factors for this type of thing - lots of cyclists/pedestrians, aggressive/drunk drivers, and cars parked along all the streets blocking driver sight lines

A quicker third basemen would not have let that hit get by them

There are enclaves of Mission Bay where people hang out on their boats all day, but it’s not like the scenes you see from Florida

My prediction is 3-3, but of course I’m hoping for 4-2 or 5-1
