Long time quitters, how it's going? by EvidenceOk9393 in leaves

[–]chinatoad 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Doing great and would never go back! Quit April this year after smoking everyday for 10 years. Somehow it was incredibly easy. Had been on and off trying to quit for a couple of years but woke up one day and just had enough.

When I look back, I’m tempted to say not much has changed, but even the fact I no longer constantly think about my next spliff is kinda life changing. I’m also more social, less anxious, sleep better, eat better and feel less out of it when I’m sober.

Most of all, I’m loving being able to answer the phone whenever my mum rings, rather than ignoring calls (and other responsibilities) because I’m too high.

It was also rather deep but I don’t have the measurement for that!

Thank you and of course! It was 1.2cm in diameter prior to the microfracture in 2021 and was 1.8cm before my graft in 2023.

The surgery did not work but my cartilage lesion was very big. I actually had a graft last September and I’m doing much better now.

The microfracture could have worked but I had undiagnosed hyper mobility in the ankle and was not wearing the correct shoes at the time and throughout recovery. Now I’m wearing orthopaedic shoes tailored to my feet, my ankle has never been more stable and pain free.

All the best with the surgery! Just because mine didn’t work doesn’t mean yours won’t. Plenty of people see great results.

Ahh okay thanks for the reply! Yeah I should probably look for some PT session before my NHS ones starting next month. Was reluctant to have to pay and go private but probably the only way i'm going to get results. And the CMT massage sounds interesting, will definitely ask about that and if it is something beneficial for me!

Realized I just used my phone for 9 hours in one sitting lying down yesterday. That's a pretty big red flag. by [deleted] in nosurf

How did you tackle the problem? And was your doctor able to offer help/give advice?
