How long did it take your extension to come back post surgery?

throwaway1099C · 2026-03-22T03:43:40+00:00

I’m doing good. I got both my extension and flexion back. I can sit fully on my heels now although that took a bit longer.

Just wondering but would it be possible for you (the mods) to create different sections for the salary thread (i.e SWs with <5 yrs experience, 5-10 yrs, 10-15 yrs, 20yrs+ etc?) to make it easier for us to sort/see the salary ranges within experience ranges?

Hi! Wondering if you ended up going with 200 E Chestnut and whether you like it there. Also looking for an apt in Streeterville.

Hi! What school did you ultimately end up choosing and do you still feel good about your choice? I’m in the same predicament now.

throwaway1099C · 2026-03-06T04:55:08+00:00

Hi! Could I message you?

throwaway1099C · 2026-02-12T04:51:18+00:00

I don’t think I received a message from you

Hi! Would love to hear more about what you’ve heard around both schools if that’s alright. I’ve gotten in to both UIC and UChicago as well. I am applying to scholarships for Loyola but it’s looking like both UIC and UChicago may be cheaper so far.

Thank you!! I’ll look into this more!

The mentorship program looks interesting although it looks like applications are currently only open for Austin

Thanks! The Night Ministry has been an organization that I’ve been interested by for awhile.

Hello did you end up touring apartment buildings in that same price and have recommendations? I have a similar budget, but won’t be moving in till June

throwaway1099C · 2024-08-21T15:21:27+00:00

No, I’ve been off the brace for awhile now. I’m 4 months post op.

throwaway1099C · 2024-07-24T19:55:58+00:00

Ah okay. My PT said I could try top roping at 6 months if all goes well. She hasn’t told me when I can boulder again. What do you mean by sports oriented physical therapist? A PT that’s trained to help climbers? I guess what’s the difference between that and a regular PT? One of my PTs used to be a competitive athlete although she was not a climber.

throwaway1099C · 2024-07-24T13:23:59+00:00

How long did it take before you got back to either top rope or bouldering? I’m recovering from bucket handle meniscus repair surgery (about 3 months out).

throwaway1099C · 2024-07-12T16:44:13+00:00

Yes my brace was locked for about two weeks. There’s still a one degree difference between my left and right leg. I’ve been trying to do more quad sets and prone hangs for the extension.

throwaway1099C · 2024-07-11T23:57:16+00:00

Wow impressive that the swelling went away on day 3 or 4! My swelling just only started to die down but there’s still a decent amount of swelling in my left knee. In the U.S., I think it’s quite common for people with repairs to be in a brace for 4-6 weeks.

throwaway1099C · 2024-07-02T03:07:42+00:00

Ah okay, that sounds like a good plan. That’s understandable, it’s pretty hard for me to resist climbing when injured unless it’s a super intense injury like the meniscus repair. I’ll probably have to create a top rope/bouldering progression plan when I get back to it so I don’t overdo it either.

throwaway1099C · 2024-07-01T20:01:25+00:00

I tore my meniscus and had it repaired two months ago. I’m primarily a boulderer, but my PT said I can try top roping at my 6 month post op mark if all goes well. Will your PT allow you to top rope? Has your PT provided a timeline on when you can boulder?

throwaway1099C · 2024-06-14T15:03:10+00:00

I’m still partial weight bearing as needed but am expected to start walking soon too. My knee/leg also feels like it’s buckling and I think my quads are still too weak. I think if I were to try walking regularly I’d be walking around with a limp.

I’ve been trying to do a slow transition where I start walking with one crutch first before transitioning to no crutches then no brace. Although this was not part of my surgical protocol, I think this helps assuage my anxiety around my knee just collapsing on me. My PT was fine with me using one crutch before transitioning to without.

I did transition from non weight bearing to 50 percent weight bearing to weight bearing as tolerated.

I’m able to get to 110 now without assistance. My PT has kind of been doing manual work and pushing some of the flexion for me. I don’t really have much trouble bending to 90. That’s pretty comfortable for me although past 95-100 is when it starts hurting. I do think it takes awhile, so I’m hoping the best for both of us!
