well my doctor doesnt currently know about this, by this i mean that i walked on it. previously he said no walking at ALL, but im thinking well if it doesnt hurt then i should be fine... now however im kind of worried
i know!! and im really scared now... im staying off it now, and babying it like crazy.. im seeing the doctor thursday. i think it would be obvious if i messed it up... wouldnt it be, i mean its an ACL
PROMISE??? cause people are scaring me now..no. perfectly normal. you had a good result.
alright i wont lie about it, ughh im soo not smarttt
please read the entirety of her posts. they are a bit convoluted. she's a kid.
the nerve block wore off already and ive only been taking advil.. i went to the trainer, and he said im alright
it is important to me to get opinions from gymnasts, and coaches and parents because they may have had experience with this. obviously the doctors word is more valued however i wont see him for a while still, and i was anxious. and i didnt ignore it, i thought it was fine due to no pain.
post op, that's after right?the experience of the Surgeon trumps that of everyone else because they see more of these than anyone else.
post op, they fill the knee with a lot of pain killing drugs which is why you felt good. don't take advantage of that. the reason for doing this is so that your brain doesn't get any signals from the knee that it is in pain/distress. when the brain gets those signals, the brain starts making the body produce things to go help the knee out. but in fact, these things actually make the healing of the knee take longer and may cause to much inflammation. inflammation is necessary for healing. but to much delays the healing process. so, just because you don't feel any pain doesn't mean you can jump up and down to test how it feels. you could tear the graft and cause another surgery.
to the Docs on this site, i hope that my explanation was sufficient for someone in her age group. i thought that explaining reanastomosis might be a bit much.
