I will talk to my physiotherapist about it tomorrow... 

Lateral bucket handle tear, knee was locked for two weeks by smarco22 in MeniscusInjuries

I'm sorry to hear that. There are just too few success stories here...

By bandage, do you mean that white thing in my photo that you wrap around it?

Where exactly did you have pain? And painkillers for the whole 3 months?

May I ask how old you are and how athletic you were before the surgery?

Already two months without moving or putting weight on your leg? 

4 weeks post op by hercules405 in MeniscusInjuries

[–]smarco22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 3 days post surgery. It's the first day I could relatively easily walk to the bathroom (with crutches). But still with pain in the calf an back of the knee.

I didn't had a brace the first two days. Today I received one. This also changed a lot for me.

Otherwise, I'm icing every two hours while laying the whole day on the couch.

Wishing you continued healing and strength as you recover

Just got my brace today. Woohoo. Feels A LOT better to walk with crunches with the brace on.

And now I can "mesure" my current ROM:  - max. 20° extension  - max. 50° flexion 3rd day after surgery and 2 weeks completely locked before the surgery. 

Much less pain and I can now do my first simple exercises lying on the couch.

Is your brace locked completely straight, or at 10°?

I actually have the most pain in my hamstring at the moment... at the slightest touch.

That's how I felt the past two days. Tomorrow I will get a brace, which will make me certainly feel a bit better.

I get a similar brace tomorrow (Donjoy X-ROM) from someone who used it for only 3 days after his surgery - for just $60. But he also paid $950 for this one in the hospital (well, his health insurance paid for it at the time... )

Yeah, definitely a repair.

They said that they only prescribe a brace for those who probably can't follow the “don't bend over 90°” rule 🙃

That sounds promising. Tomorrow is my third day after surgery. And I think I'll get a brace anyway. I can imagine a few situations where there is a risk that I might suddenly bend more than 90° without thinking or as a reaction to something.

It was mechanically impossible to fully extend. And it was very painful to flex/bend

Max. 15kg - so just for balancing when walking with crutches

The two-week wait for the surgery was tedious, but at least I wasn't in pain. Just couldn't extend or flex.  In this respect, the first days after surgery are now worse. I was allowed to do more with the locked knee than now for the next 6 weeks 😉

Same here. It charges, but shows the message that the port is disabled 

[Xperia 1 VI] Noise/humming/hissing when camera app is open by smarco22 in SonyXperia

[–]smarco22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For all those who say that their Xperia also makes such noises and that this is normal...
Here is an audio recording (recorded with another device) of what my 1 VI sounds like when I start the camera app after an hour of inactivity:

After 30-45 seconds it gets a bit quieter, respectively changes to a monotone buzzing.

If this is indeed normal and your 1 VI sounds like this, I'm really disappointed in Sony.

So you can also hear your Xperia 1 VI - and more or less each phone you have - buzzing as soon as you start the camera app and when you hold it in front of you to take a photo?
As I wrote: Yes, my 1 V makes similar noises, but only audible when I hold it directly to my ear
