Not to mention our respective ladies playing for all the marbles tonight! That should be a good one too!

Well Canada dispatched the Russians pretty handily ... Nabokov didn't play like Miller did in the U.S. game.

Now if Canada can ditch Slovakia & the US can dump Finland ... we should get a great...

Plenty more. The average chicken weighs only 5-7 lbs., whereas the average pork can be more like 150-200.

Took me about 4 months from date of injury.

You could do it well before that I'm sure, although there is some literature that suggests you want to let the swelling subside as much as possible, and...

i'd go with 6-8 weeks.

walking...

x3 on preferring squats/leg press to extensions/curls. my ortho told me just to do the exercises where you're pushing the weight through the sole of your foot.

i guess you'd be hoping for more...

single leg leg press ... if you can get an inflatable pancake type thing to put between your foot and the plate, so much the better ... works on the stability as well:)

no exercises such as...

dude ... take a day off lol ....
you probably have too much anesthetic floating around in your body still if you really think that this is a good idea....

if you don't know, you've never had that problem;)

he means that his leg is bending out sideways at the knee rather than only moving back & forth like it was designed to do.

Sounds eerily similar to when I completely tore my ACL & tore the meniscus as well. Ligament tears are often accompanied by meniscal tears I guess.

Ya you are going to have to see a specialist. ...

one legged leg press on leg press machine is good. if you can get an inflatable disk thing, try putting that between your foot & the foot plate.

regular leg press or easy squats as well.
...

yeah, you'll probably be ok;)

ice it up a couple times a day at least.

Oh, you may want to take some ibuprofen (advil) as well. That has a fair bit of anti-inflammatory in it, which will likely help as well.

Ice is probably the main thing tho - get yourself a bag of...

Yep.


Seriously tho, the normal routine to follow for a muscular injury is RICE. Rest. Ice. Compression. Elevation.

Good luck.

you forgot to put:

"Don't have one too many beers and then go crash your bicycle and crack some ribs" under the injury prevention section.

Other than that ... looks like the start of a sticky!...

From what I understand, it'd be pretty rare for a torn meniscus to spontaneously heal without surgery. You should probably go see another doctor. Don't want to have a screwy knee all your life. ...

The first few days are the worst, but you'll start noticing daily improvement soon ... just keep doing what you're supposed to be doing as far as icing, rehab etc., and it'll come along pretty fast:)...

Ya, Isn't that fun?!?!? :)

Take it easy before surgery ... you don't want to overdo anything and have any swelling going in. The more 'normal' the joint is as you go in to surgery, the better the...

ya, my understanding is that the actual new acl will be stronger than the old one. doesn't mean the knee joint as a whole won't be more screwed up tho. main point, well taken tho, is do your rehab...
