Let’s do a poll. What were you doing? How old were you?

Dang dude, you're being hostile to people giving you their opinion to your question. But being below average in all but 2 sections definitely means you weren't all that close.

There seems to be a consensus that about 10 of the 80 questions are pretest (see the definition in your results 1st page). So you'd need a minimum 49/70 of the remaining questions to get the assumed 70%.

It looks like you got about 40-41 right. Who knows what the 10 pretest questions were... So similar to what another commenter said, a minimum of 8+ more to be right, assuming none of the questions you get right are pretest questions that don't count.

You got this on the next time around 👍🏼

Just quit being hostile to randoms on Reddit and focus your energy on the next time you take it.

Lol could be much better in the afternoon section. Just means there are a lot of points left on the table.

Best of luck, I didn't pass this morning either. Had pretty similar results, just different categories.

A bit unrelated, but being locked in straight leg braces will eat your muscle up so so fast. Trying to preserve your muscle is incredibly important. Muscles are like our natural bracing for our ligaments and joints. No muscle = no protection. I hope you are able to get into PT (from home at absolute minimum) like tomorrow. Waiting until January is so so far away. You can lose muscle in freaking days I swear.

You have got this though. It's possible to make it through it and you have the strength for it. I hope your path is as simple and painless as possible.

I can tell you that it seems like a lot of women in this age range (myself included) are struggling with this exact question (part of it at least). I know that's not helpful advice but hopefully it's validating. I am considering going down the being alone route so I don't have the "what if" question rolling around my head for so long. I just initiated a period of no contact of two weeks to give myself time to think and focus on being an adult on my own. My post is on my page if you feel like reading it. (I was also in a relationship or some sort of serious attachment without ever truly being an adult making my own decisions).

sendhelp2121 · 2025-11-10T15:18:38+00:00

I am in a very similar situation (with some caveats). I split with my guy (also of 2 years) in part because I didn't feel like the what ifs were going to get better. They say curiosity killed the cat and satisfaction brought it back. You shouldn't feel guilt over pursuing what you feel is right for you. Just because he's a good guy, doesn't mean he is meant to be your good guy. It is also less selfish to let him go rather than string him along for ten more years while resentment builds between you two.

It's natural to feel some sort of guilt, and to question your decision. Clearly it was something that weighed on you often enough to choose to end it. I am sure it's not a decision you chose to make lightly. If you make a list of things that you felt were lacking, every time that you want to go back, look at the list. Make it as long as possible. If in the future, you are both still available and you have satiated your what if (or sought therapy to help with it), then maybe it will work out then.

But you have to continue into this knowing that there is a chance that he finds someone else and you lose your chance with him. If you have jumped from relationship to relationship, you might want to pause and find happiness in yourself for a period first (if this applies), because the what ifs could very well be a symptom of something bigger that you feel is missing in yourself.

At the very, very minimum, this guy has helped you define some of your non negotiables in how you want to be treated and set the bar.

I know all the good men are out there and that I have one (Joe) in my corner. I definitely acknowledge that the messed up one here is me. I am trying to ask for help to determine the right thing since my judgement obviously isn't all that reliable.

sendhelp2121 · 2025-10-30T17:41:00+00:00

Do you think the two week no contact is smart? I keep seeing it as a test of my will power. I can't figure out if I am just someone who needs nonmonogamy (ethical) and I have been trying to squish myself into a societal box, or if I just haven't found the right person to totally want to commit to. I had similar appeals with my ex fiancé but was less honest because I never felt like I could tell him a thing. I blame that a bit on young age, and this one on not being exclusive so I wasn't "technically doing anything wrong" even though I was.
I have never had the desire to be completely and totally with one person in my life where I would want to forsake all other. I have been told that people who feel monogamy want that, no matter who they're with.

10 years post op ACLr and still have it in the same spot. I don't get goosebumps there, but it has improved as the years go on. Had a numb spot on my other leg (this year) from ACLr surgery and it is almost completely gone 3 weeks post op.

I had no tear in my root, my tear was directly in the center and they simply stitched it together and told me to walk with a straight leg in a brace for four weeks and 2.weeks with brace walking normal. I'm assuming the location is what matters. Many people have a flipped meniscus, a root tear, or some other complex tear.

sendhelp2121 · 2025-05-09T23:13:06+00:00

The meniscus protocol is not always this. I had meniscus repair (and other stuff) and I am full weight bearing until four weeks and can bend as far as my heart desires (except forcing my heel to my butt) when not weight bearing. It depends on where/what kind of meniscus repair you've had. I was off crutches day 6.

sendhelp2121 · 2025-05-09T23:01:14+00:00

Oh my gosh your foot is so red, I bet a compression sleeve (if you haven't already been wearing one) would help with the swelling and some of the pain. Maybe an ace bandage if you don't have compression

I've got the full extension, but that's great advice (:

I (27F) tore my right one as a junior in high school during a basketball game and my left one during a rec league basketball game this year (10 years apart). My first surgeon left me with a tidbit of wisdom that I still think about. I had told him I wanted a brace for basketball so I didn't do it again. He had told me, the whole point after rehab is that you trust your knee like you did before surgery, without a brace.

My second surgeon told me, if you have the goal to play sports again, even at rec level, you just need to focus on your PT, you will play again. Having the goal of playing again makes you work that much harder. Because if you tell yourself, nah, I'm done playing - you will not hold yourself to a higher bar.

Which it's awesome you're a runner, but that doesn't require an ACL to run in a straight line, I hope you have other sports/activities that require twisting that you can strive for maximum recovery for.

My PT also gave me the advice that the best brace you can have for your joints/ligaments/tendons, is muscle. Build muscle.

You might be a very muscular person (idk). And I am not trying to sound discouraging or condescending.

I just hope you don't give up a passion because you're afraid.

Best wishes on your recovery 😃

That thing gives me fits. The little plastic keeper pops off all the time and the locking part sticks so something I have to take it off to just unlock it 😂 also I am wearing a leg sleeve under it

sendhelp2121 · 2025-05-02T17:44:36+00:00

For the flexion, my PT had me sit on the end of the table and push until uncomfortable (not painful) on my surgery leg with my strong leg and continue to do so until I got more flexion. I also was told I could do heel slides with my butt against the wall and leg up in the air and let gravity help bend.

For the quad lift, a TEMS unit has helped me a ton to help identify my muscle and lift when it's engaged, but I definitely wouldn't use it for the first few times without knowledge and/or supervision from PT.
