RockRaines Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Tomorrow is decision day on my knee, surgery or rehab, we'll see which direction we go. I've modified my workouts to be extremely upper body heavy with some core thrown in, still sucks I cant really do my workouts fully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 10:54 AM) What are the respective recovery times? 3-4 months if repaired surgically to recover 100% activity. By that point I will be the crabbiest motherf***er to ever live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 11:04 AM) And what about to rehab? 1-2 months they say depending on the tear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 11:26 AM) So what are you leaning towards? It all depends on my MRI results and where the tear is and how big it is. If its something that requires surgery either to repair or remove, I have to do it just to make sure it doesnt happen again. Its its a small tear and I can rehab for a month, I'll do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Results are in (sorta). Smallish tear in the meniscus, nothing that would require surgery at this point (yes!). HOWEVER, they found a floating body just inside of my kneecap causing my frontal pain and some bone edema in my patella. We will do 1 month of rehab and then go back in for another MRI to check out progress. So not bad news unless the floating piece is something they need to remove. At this point the doc would like to see what happens with rehab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, pretty much 2 weeks and and a few weeks from any activity and I finally have strength in the knee. It still clicks sometimes when I straighten it, but the pain isnt there. I am trying to get back to some activity this week in the gym but taking it easy on the legs. I've probably put 5 lbs on just being inactive, and it kills me daily. I saw alot of people out for runs on friday and I was incredibly jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Went through an almost full workout yesterday with the exception of taking it easy on my legs by taking out most of the lunges/jumps etc. Still could do slow squats and some kettleball movements. Feel pretty good today and ill have some rehab tonight then hit the weight/airfits for upper body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Thanks guys. I feel it's too early for me to explicit a specific time goal, but I will post one when it gets closer. I'll be running the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon on November 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kageman129 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Okay, getting pretty big into working out. Trying to build my 6'0" / 155 lbs frame into some muscle and such . . . I take some stuff to "amp me up" (no, not steriods) before I go, then I work out and then I go home and take some protein. I'm wondering if anyone on here takes any type of protein or anything to really help build them up . . . And if so, which kind do you take?

I am having knee surgery in sept that should clear me for next year My knees and ankles are so screwed up I can only do low impact cardio. I do play basketball one day a week but pay for it the rest of the day but I have to do something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 About 6 months ago, I developed an intolerance for lactose. Have all this protein mix so tried making a shake with water. Yuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sir Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 11:35 AM) About 6 months ago, I developed an intolerance for lactose. Have all this protein mix so tried making a shake with water. Yuck. Is it that bad? I'm just starting to use some supplements in addition to my workouts. As in, I'm currently drinking my first ever whey protein shake. But since I'm in the Army and I'm going to work out in the morning on weekdays, I was just going to make my shake with the mix and water in my office immediately afterwards. Bad idea?

The Sir Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 By the way, in skim milk, I think this stuff is delicious. That was my first impression at least. And I'm a pretty picky eater/drinker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
