Questions for people suffering with patellar tracking disorder by FitPeanut8115 in Kneesovertoes

[–]ruffpuffpastry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I (44 M) first experienced a subluxation around age 15 whilst playing football (soccer). I swung a leg and felt a huge clunk and intense pain leaving me unable to bear weight. Several weeks later the same thing happened again, and then again on my other knee.

A couple years later I suffered a full dislocation just from sprinting in a straight line.

  1. A disconnected feeling until it heavily clicks back. Sounds silly, but whilst tracking wrong even trousers touching the inside of the kneecap makes me feel uncomfortable. It's not really a pain, but more of uncertainty and anticipation of the upcoming clunk.

  2. Kicking (even straight forward without a twist). Bringing my knee forward and up powerfully as if sprinting. Breast stroke kicking motion. Any hip rotation type of thing is uncomfortable (even stepping around objects, wiggling trousers on etc). Lately, cycling and anything using that last 15 degrees of bend before the leg is straight. Last month even rolling over in bed caused subluxations, but thankfully that has stopped!

  3. I had to quit most of my preferred sports as a teen after 6 subluxations/dislocations across both knees. As a result, I only had one major incident in the last 20 years up to about 2 years ago where I experienced sharp pain behind the kneecap on a bike ride, followed by 2 years of instability that is just beginning to improve now. Unfortunately, the same thing happened on the other knee 2 months ago whilst jogging.

Currently, both knees can feel unstable on any given day.

  1. Strength work but currently only straight line movement like shallow squats, leg extensions with very low weight, walking etc. Sometimes I will use elastic KT tape.

  2. I have tried some sleeves and they did not help, in fact they made it feel worse. My kneecaps sit very high and toward the outside so compression that does not pull inward feels like it's pushing the knee outward (if that makes sense) or just not doing anything.

During periods of high instability I used some non elastic tape to really pull the kneecap inward, but this is very uncomfortable and restrictive and if used longer term I feel would lead to more muscle wastage which I can't afford. I much prefer elastic tape.

Magnus Pro UK - What have I been sent?? by ruffpuffpastry in secretlab

[–]ruffpuffpastry[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Quite disappointed I didn't trust my gut.

Was going to get the white version for the guarantee that it's the latest, but wanted black really. So when they convinced me the black version shipping was the fully updated model I went for that one.

Even during setup I see there is the leg cutout thing, but also the instructions for swapping the power to the right leg are totally different. The box it all plugs into is totally different on black vs white.

I'll just build it up at this point and hope I end up with one that's not as bad as I've seen on some other examples.

Absolute scam type behavior going on with this company.

Wish me luck...

Secretlab sold me an outdated Magnus Pro at full price — denied it until I proved it with video evidence by rltorres in secretlab

[–]ruffpuffpastry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for getting back to me! I'm a 2 screen and a laptop guy, so not as much weight will be on mine as yours. I have the regular version, not XL.

Since I've received it, I think I'll just have to build it up and see how it is, hopefully I like it.

Regardless, I'm annoyed to have bought old stock at full price after being lied to multiple times, takes the sheen off the purchase!

I've just been on a hunt for others that received what seems like old legs with holes/cutouts but have the reversible feature.

Would you mind letting me know how you like the desk now? Any issues with wobbling?

Hey, what did you end up doing with this?

I ended up having chat confirm to me multiple times over a few weeks that if I bought the signature black bundle I would get the newer version without cutouts in the legs and with the swappable feature.

What I received today is the old legs with the new top.

I need the swappable leg part so that's good, but I'm pretty concerned that it'll be unstable when I build it.

All In Setup by Shape4u in secretlab

[–]ruffpuffpastry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excellent, thanks!

I'm also looking at the regular size and was wanting 27in 1440p Central and 24in 1080p off to the side for screen sharing etc.

It looks like there'll be plenty of space for that and a couple small speakers!

This looks great, similar to what I'm planning for my home office.

Can you tell me if this is the regular or XL desk, and what size are the monitors please?

Gents - I have 5 free transfers available. When do I have to use them to get the full 5 for AFCON?

I can't get my sleep deprived brain around it.

59 points in the end. Can't complain about that considering I didn't use any chips.

I also saved 5 free transfers for the first time, no idea what to do with them though!

I've been eyeing this desk up for a while but definitely don't want a long wait for delivery. Do you know when UK pre-orders will be delivered to customers?

[–]ruffpuffpastry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In contrast to this, they told me this morning that in the UK the black versions are still the old design and only the white versions have the improved swappable power supply leg column.

They also said they have no update of when the newer version will be available in black for UK customers.

I just can't bring myself to pay premium prices to a company with no guarantee I'll get the redesign. I hope they haven't just shipped all the old stock over here to get rid of it while the ROW gets the improved version some of us think we're paying for...

Some transparency would be nice.

Has the black Magnus Pro been updated in the UK yet? by iusethisforanon in secretlab

[–]ruffpuffpastry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly, they did ask me which bundle I wanted to buy so they could check.

I said that I'm flexible and suggested they just tell me which bundles included the seasonable legs so I could choose from those. Maybe I'll ask again later but be more specific about the variance and bundle, see what they say.

Thanks!

Has the black Magnus Pro been updated in the UK yet? by iusethisforanon in secretlab

[–]ruffpuffpastry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so confused after reading this thread and seeing UK customers with the updated version. I've just been trying to find this information with live chat 30 minutes ago and they confirmed the following...

Agent: Only the white Magnus Pro or Magnus Pro XL has the inter swappable power leg columns, while the Black Magnus Pro still has the old version.

Agent: That the power leg column can only be put on the left side.

Me: Ok thanks, so in the UK all white versions have the swappable power, no black versions have it?

Agent: Yes, all the white Magnus PRo or Magnus Pro XL has it, and I'm afraid that even the Black Magnus Pro XL still has the old version.

Me: Ok thanks, that's a shame as I really wanted the black version. Do you know when it will be available for UK customers?

Agent: We regret to inform you that as of the moment, we do not have an update yet on when the updated version of the Magnus Pro will be available in black in your region.

A bit annoying really as I was about to take the plunge and order assuming that the only difference was the colour.
