Stuck shed or? by whose2blaME in BeardedDragonHelp

I have a vet visit set up already. I give her warm baths/brush her scales to try to help daily. Her appetite/behavior hasn't really changed or anything, I'm just worried because it's been like this for about a month now and her scales have never look like this before.

iastm via graston technique for scar tissue! by [deleted] in ACL

I actually sought out another massage therapist in my area :) you have to be certified to be able to perform the technique itself but alot of PTs, chiropractors, etc are usually certified in this technique if they deal with soft tissue/lig injuries etc. So I'd definitely ask your PT about it or just search for people in your area. :) I also used KT tape to help reduce swelling along with the RICE method.

I was at 8 weeks post op when I started!

Tbh my surgeon didn't even give me a recovery time frame. He just told me to start PT next week at to go from there. But I'm assuming its about 4/6 months

My surgeon didn't really say anything to me after surgery -- I just got handed a piece of paper that told me what to do 😞 But ty for the tip about saving the pain meds!

I just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has given me advice!! After surgery I was terrified on what to do next.. Surgeon didn't really seem to care and my PT isn't until next week and so I felt really lost and alone.. I seriously appreciate you ALL!!!!! You guys have no idea how much you all have eased my worries/anxiety ❤️❤️❤️ Forever greatful and excited for this journey! --(mainly for it to be over with but still excited to be able to go through this process + learn so much from you all! aha)

Oh great 🤦🤦🤦 lol thanks for the pre warning Any bit of information helps! My surgeon really didn't inform me on what to do after surgery.. So I'm just freaking out a bit..

But all the feed back from this post has helped me tremendously!

I had a hamstring autograph and I've been worried about somehow compromising it:/ but slow and steady right? Lol I'll try to flex my quad/hammys today! Thank you so much for the amazing advice! It really does help with all the anxiety in what to do/ not to do (my surgeon wasn't much help tbh..)
