Torn ACL

[Crackpot]

I don’t know what the deal is but Oxy Contin does not seem to do shit for me.

[TPFKA@W]

Well generally I would say it has to do with previous hard drug use...

[Crackpot]

I wish. It makes me loopy and makes it hard to think straight, but as fr as pain goes? No noticeable difference

You may have the wrong approach?

People are so different. Can you try Tylenol and Aleve taken together. I get good results like a narcotic without the loopiness. Ask wife about it.

Woo hoo I can lift my leg at the hip again! Things are progressing I can move on my crutches pretty well i am about to bear 75% of my weight on my leg (with brace) when I walk.

Good news mate, best of luck.

I have read that the reason the maker of Oxy Contin pushed it so hard to shady pharmacies is because it really does not do much for many kinds of pain.

Not a big enuf legitimate market--they needed addicts.

Today I actually put on pants (not sweats or pajama bottoms) and did a little driving to boot everything is progressing well just about the only thing remaining is getting the knee to bend past 90 degrees.

Thanks for the good news update. Hope to hear it is good as used in the near future.

Good news, Crackpot. That's progress.

Before you know it, you'll be able bend your knee 360 degrees.

Good luck with that. Don't give up on the therapy. I chickened out somewhat and now I look ridiculous dropping to a "push-up" position in order to sit on anything below chair height. And getting up again is a workout. Keep it up

[dales]

Only 360 degrees?


Perhaps even 720 degrees.


An exciting career in the circus awaits!

[Gob]

Good news is always welcome.

I fail to see the advantage in that.

Anyway, glad to hear your recovery is progressing well. Keep at the PT.

[Crackpot]

PT has been kicking my ass. Basic movement is good moving on to uneven and more “athletic” movements

[eddieq]

Enjoy the "agility ladder". The other thing my PTs did was make me stand on one leg and touch a series of cones in a circle with the other foot. You don't realize how bad your balance is until you're suddenly trying to be the karate kid

[Crackpot]

Doing the agility ladder. Not the other (thankfully, at least not yet)

Crackpot, yesterday.

[Crackpot]

That would be this morning and then again on Thursday.

This is basically what I was doing in PT last year when rehabbing an Achilles injury. My PT had more cones out though. Instead of just the NSEW, there were additional cones at the 45 degree positions as well. She would call out which one to hit and I had to react and adjust my weight/balance to get it. Kept me (literally) on my toes.
