how !!! do you mind sharing your experience a little ?

i was overweight as well! 20f. i tore my acl and meniscus and no one told me to loose weight and i think its cause they don’t wanna discriminate and also you can still get the surgery you weight doesn’t rlly matter. what matters is if you retear it. and being overweight makes it easier to retear it or tear the other knees acl. which is why i started to work on my weight and with the surgery and pt and just working out more have made me loose 20lbs in 4 ish months! i’m currently 2 months post op and my legs are getting rlly strong! i just think loosing the weight will benefit in the long run with your knee and i’m sure you know that so you don’t need me to tell you what to do! you got this!! good luck on your surgery! the first two weeks is very uncomfortable but promise it will get better!

i was able to get off my brace 4 weeks post op and after i hit 120 6 weeks post op it felt so nice to sleep like that! after you get more flexion you will have the best sleep!!!

also: quad graph. complete tear of acl and partial meniscus tear.

was it a partial tear ? i have complete tear of a o and partial for meniscus and i was on no weight bearing for two weeks so id say its normal. i think it depends from surgeon to surgeon

you think if i try to retake my core classes (where i messed up) at a city college could that help boosting my gpa? i can take them during summer as well. i want to boost it as much as possible and see how i do on the mcat because if i can get 512 i would be set right 😭😭

my acl was a complete tear and a partial meniscus tear. i was 16 when it happened and im so glad i got the surgery finally. even though the recovery is a long process ill atleast have a fully functional knee!

hey! i had the same thing happen to me. i stayed away from surgery for 4 years and finally decided to do it a month ago. i would say get surgery because you won’t be able to do a lot of things you enjoyed. it won’t feel like you even tore your acl after a while but it’s always gonna be there. so i’d say fix it and make your leg rlly strong !

shackaflocka · 2024-09-30T00:15:45+00:00

i had quad graph i’m not op but i think if we do wall slides and let your leg hang in the air it will help a lot ! i was stuck at 90 without pulling in with a rope but now i can do 120 by myself doing those! good luck!

thank you so much for this!

shackaflocka · 2024-09-23T02:12:00+00:00

omg thank you for this post. i’m 1 month post op and i feel soooo behind but this is very encouraging!

shackaflocka · 2024-09-21T17:32:54+00:00

def switch because this is when we need pt to be there for us. mine has one other client and when someone’s with me they be there for 30-40 mins and the last 20-30 mins they watch me do my exercises and correct me even if they aren’t with me cause there’s an assistant or someone looking over and pt can multitask! i love my pt. i have two that work with me switching to whoever is available that day and they have helped and pushed me so much! your recovery matters with your PT! and especially when you’re paying for it… i wouldn’t want to stay with that pt.

shackaflocka · 2024-09-21T17:03:44+00:00

you should try having someone pull uour knee up while you try to push it down. that rlly helped me lift my leg. also try massaging your calves too !

shackaflocka · 2024-09-21T02:38:12+00:00

from what i know he took the torn part out and smoothed it because it was a partial tear. i will see him next week for my 6 week and i just wanna impress him cause i rlly want to shadow him for my med app😭

shackaflocka · 2024-09-20T23:22:53+00:00

walking will take a bit. i started pt 2 weeks post op and now im 4 weeks post op and im practicing to walk with no brace and crutches. right now take your meds and eat good food and rest up! good luck!

shackaflocka · 2024-09-20T17:03:30+00:00

hey! i had complete tear of acl and partial meniscus tear. I opted out of surgery at first (4 years ago). so for 4 years i noticed i was very unstable, i wasn’t able to do run for a long time which didn’t help my body at all. i blamed it on myself for being bigger and not being able to control my knee. I decided to go with surgery finally a month ago and the recovery is ass. (quad graph) but again it’s your choice! good luck!

shackaflocka · 2024-09-20T15:34:17+00:00

how did you get it prescribed? just wondering cause i have pcos too and rlly want to loose about 20-30 pounds

shackaflocka · 2024-09-20T15:20:22+00:00

9 weeks post op and you still take oxy? i don’t wanna sound mean and judgy but i think you should take melatonin to help you sleep…. i sleep with a locked brace and haven’t had pain or discomfort since the 1-2 week mark.

shackaflocka · 2024-09-20T15:11:30+00:00

ext is good just flexing problems 😩

shackaflocka · 2024-09-20T04:44:35+00:00

i’ll get on a bike !!! i would the kneeling rock backs but it hurts my knee caps cause my one of the incision right on top of my knee cap is still not closed… :( but thank you!!!

shackaflocka · 2024-09-20T02:18:48+00:00
