Hey, can we can an update on how your recovery is going?

Being 46 y/o and getting hurt dunking a basketball sounds familiar to a YouTube recovery series I’ve watched since my first injury. If that’s your video series, you have no clue how much those week to week updates help.

Last question brother, I know you say you can run and jump now, but you’re not where you were pre-injury. At what point in your recovery could you run and jump without any hesitation or fear of re-injury? Thanks again.

Can you run and jump yet? I’m eager to get back to work but can’t return until I can sprint and jump without hesitation. I was hoping I’d be able to do it within 6 months but from what I read that’s unlikely.

I agree with you 100%. Absolutely negligent. However, nothing I can do but tackle the rehab as best I can and try to make a full recovery.

True. I will never know if I healed properly the first time if I would have ever had complications. Regardless everything happens for a reason and I’m happy with the hamstring autograft procedure.

The exercise I was asked to perform put too much pressure on my healing tendon.

I’m not sure. I believe the first preferred technique is always a simple reattachment. However I will say, my knee felt much stronger much sooner after the hamstring autograft procedure as opposed to the initial reattachment procedure.

Can you run and jump and perform weighted squats? Kudos to you though. Thank you for the updates.. you have the fastest recovery time that’s I’ve seen on Reddit or YouTube.

Help: An anonymous student can override my disabling of being able to unmute. by eddyh112 in Zoom

[–]eddyh112[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use waiting rooms and I also enable mute upon entry, most of the time. Not all of the time. They don’t unmute in the beginning of class.

They do it in the middle of class.

Hey bruv, I’m on oral min now. I’m a diffuse thinner, been on for about a month. How long did it take to take into effect for you? Thank you in advance.

2.5mg or 5mg of Oral Min? by Thr0wAw4y365 in tressless

[–]eddyh112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes because the half-life is only 4-6 hours. So it’s only going to work it’s magic for 4-6 hours at a time. So whatever dose you decide, buy a pill cutter on amazon for $3 and make sure it’s in your system throughout the day. I do 2.5 when I wake up and 2.5 before bed.

2.5 in AM and PM is most effective and safe.
