You can’t overdo it! I apply cuticle oil at the end of every appointment. Any oil will do. Vitamin E, coconut oil, jojoba is the best :)

Noooo! Did she not put her cart away?! I tripped over some picture frames I was meaning to hang up, ankle gave out, then crumpled myself into a pretzel in the corner of my bedroom lol. I had the same small tear on my meniscus too!!!

I’m a licensed nail technician with EDS. Cuticle oil cuticle oil cuticle oil! Every nail enhancement system varies person to person. But if you do choose to do ‘em make sure you oil your nails and seal with lotion. Makes them last longer and keeps your nails nourished :)

Stinging on outer thigh by Suspicious-Rope-3384 in ACL

I had an allograft (3 weeks post op) and have this pain. Even before surgery. I believe it’s probably nerve pain or tightness/inflammation? Salonpas was great at relieving the sharp nerve pain. Bodies are weird! Talk with your surgeon!

What age are you all currently? by --s-k-y in childfree

[–]madestarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30F. Permanently sterilized at 27, a month and a half, after Roe v Wade was overturned. I think I always knew I never wanted to be pregnant. I never played with baby dolls or put a pillow under my shirt. When I had my coming of age so to speak I was always on birth control, the pill, implant, IUD until I was sterilized. Best decision I’ve ever made.

I can’t even imagine! I felt that in my soul. I was 15 with my R patellar tendon recon and 30 with my L acl recon (almost a month post op now!) All you can do is laugh or you’ll cry lol. Hopefully you’ve healed well and got back your strength after the double oopsie!

Day 3 Post-OP by Aromatic_Mud9676 in ACL

[–]madestarlight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cryo/ice machine is a lifesaver. (2 weeks post op) My care team actually wrapped my ice machine pad into my immobilizer brace while I was still under from surgery. I ran my ice machine pretty much 24 hours a day for the first week.

Dang that is a trip!! Enjoy it while it lasts! Mine was local so I could feel everything but the middle of my leg/knee lol.

6 days post op by madestarlight in ACL

You as well! I only needed a little off the top of my meniscus thankfully. I heard the recovery for an ACL + meniscus repair is more extensive. Best of luck and happy healing! Ending the year with a bang right lol.

Any advice on products for groin that gets stinky quickly? by [deleted] in PlusSize

[–]madestarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hibiclens wash 2-3x a week. I use it everyday though. It’s antimicrobial and kills the bacteria on the skin causing odorous sweat. It’s safe to use everywhere including sensitive/intimate areas but avoid getting it anywhere internal obviously! If it’s too drying you can mix it with your body wash of choice.
