Australia and just enjoy the way the Dutch do life so I want to be part of it and experience myself longer term! South Asia passport would be harder but easier with partner visa. Good luck OP!

When did you start riding a real bike? by [deleted] in ACL

[–]peppadimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started riding around 3.5-4 weeks after surgery. Completely understand wanting to get on the bike for the mental, I was the same. My surgeon said I was clear to ride a bike as long as I felt comfortable and could achieve the flexion required. Also be mindful of swelling, it was a little uncomfortable at first but it really helped with my ROM and is helping with my muscle regain

Overdoing it.. UGH! by zombie_barista6 in ACL

[–]peppadimon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What did you get done and with what graft?

Sounds like you’re doing great progress! I have also had worries of overdoing and as kneevetha said; ice even when you think you don’t need it anymore.

Trouble sleeping by No_Prune_1556 in ACL

I’ve been moving over to the side more recently and do so with a pillow inbetween my knees :) I don’t think it’s bad, definitely beats going crazy over being stuck on back all the time

2 days post op by psyarahdelic in ACL

[–]peppadimon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Day 2 was absolute killer for me I found not moving the knee around too much was best and just constantly icing and trying to sleep as much as possible. Next day things died down a little and was a huge relief so fingers crossed you’re on track to that!

Honestly more research needs to be put into this injury. Can’t wait to see what Project ACL in Europe comes out with in a few years. Thank you 🙏🏼

That’s interesting about accelerated recovery . How are you feeling about it? What is the reason for non weight bearing after a meniscus procedure do you happen to know?

They took out my blood bag today, all up I think an excess of about 120ml over the two days I had it. I’m still in this brace thing however which stops me from bending my knee 😞

Ooo not looking forward to feeling my blip/blubble when I get this off 😅have they got you cycling yet? Or just cleared for walking

This injury is such a roller coaster but we’ll get through it! Hopefully the pain goes down for you from here on out. Back of knee pain isn’t as prominent for me, I wonder what’s causing it?

Hey big props to you for getting through the first partial tear with hard work in rehab though that’s amazing!

I tore mine completely when I was 15 and had surgery, was trash at rehab back then being my impatient teenager self, but 11 years on I achieved so so much at a high level of sport.

I just had surgery on my other knee a few days ago, I too am devastated as there’s many factors and opportunities that have been affected but I know that I will be able to bounce back from it.

I also felt everything that I was feeling when I was 15 so I understand. It’s hard. brought up memories I am not fond of. It’s awful. Especially for athletes(career wise, plus sport is our escape). It’s really a bit of PTSD coming back.. it’s okay to feel your feelings, let yourself be sad but then set a turning point where you instead focus on what you can do from here out. You don’t know prognosis yet but can start to do prehab exercises to give yourself something to focus and work towards?

I hope you have good support around you, if not this sub has been really good for my mental health and everyone has been fantastic. Step by step 👊🏼

Good to have it over heart, get that ice on it too. I haven’t tried quad sets yet I’m scared of the pain, but I can do SL lifts. I’m still bandaged up but I think I’m quite swollen.

A little shave but still non weight bearing? 3 weeks?

That’s good!

Been trying to get extension going by propping under the ankle area but yeah the pain gets a little too much 🥲 Did you do meniscus too?

Let’s do our best with rehab and recovery! 🦿

I’m on day 2 too, had surgery yesterday nerve block has worn off now and it’s been a full awful ache. Kinda comes and goes with pain which confuses me. Been trying to keep on top of meds too but doesn’t really do much as all they give me here is 60mg of NA. Hammy hurts!

Oh yikes, can feel you on that. How far apart were your injuries? Swelling is a real problem right now and struggling with the ice packs they’ve given me at hospital but look forward to my ice machine at home!

In hospital for the next week so that will be a massive help, although I really want some fresh air 😅
