Quote from: TakingAction on November 10, 2021, 08:41:55 PMDay 2: I just did my first PT, and I passed out….it might be the blood loss from surgery that’s causing this passing out. But I recovered after about an hour.
I would try oxy before PT next time. Fighting pain or discomfort takes a lot energy and can cause more stress and make you very tired. It’s actually bad for healing and recovery. Last year I didn’t feel much pain after the surgery but the nurse said I didn’t look good and I should take oxy. I didn’t expect oxy to make much difference because I thought I was doing ok. It turned out oxy made huge difference! I started to eat more, exercised more, and felt much better.
I only knew one person passed out during PT last year because he didn’t eat anything before PT. It’s possible that you didn’t eat enough and at the same time used too much energy to fight discomfort. Just try oxy next time you will be fine bro. Oxy can usually make people do better during PT sessions which helps recovery.

I have diarrhea sometimes but doctor Robbins said xeralto shouldn’t cause diarrhea. I didn’t take xeralto last year because it’s not needed with stryde. With precice 2 we need to take it for about 6 months you are right…

Ok, I’ll probably need to try oxy in the upcoming days. Hopefully it doesn’t hurt my liver or cause addiction. Dr. Robbins said that my nails can only support 50 pounds per leg. So I’m concerned that if my full body weight, which is 151 pounds, landed on my feet accidentally for 3 seconds, would that increase the risk of bending or breaking?
I felt like passing out the first time I stood on my legs after surgery, almost did but I sat back down and it passed, after that I didn't feel that again, you might have pushed too hard the very first time, you're still under sedatives that can cause that.

3 seconds occasionally should be safe. They told me the nails won’t be bent easily but I’m worried about bending my nails too… especially after knowing that one of Paley’s current patients has both his nails bending and he’s only 120lbs… PT will also use huge amount of force (greater than 50lbs for sure) to stretch your muscles but doctor Robbins said it’s safe. Who knows lol

Some patients need blood transfusion due to blood loss. You're in a much better place.

lmao I puked the first time I stood up. I think it was the Oxy
I haven’t even taken the oxy yet because of concern of the side effects. What do you all think about Tramadol? Do you think that it’s less risky than oxy?

Yeah I don’t understand why do they want us to risk bending and walk on walker instead of just do PT on a table or walking in the swimming pool which are so much safer to achieve the same goals, right?
Is the first week hell week? Or the second week will get even worse? I still haven’t had number 2 yet, and this inability to get toxic out is making me feel that I’m stuck in hell, not to mention the swollen femurs and pain the ass…

I’m 157lbs and I only use walker during PT because they kinda force me to use it. They say it’s good for bone generation but I don’t want to live in fear. I also don’t believe walker would make big difference in bone generation because we can only “hop”, not walk. It seems I’m the only person worried about bending nails though. Other patients I talked to were not as nervous…
When I did femurs I think the first 3-4 days were the worst. The second week was better but still bad because I hadn’t recovered from the surgery and at the same time I had to start lengthening which caused more tissue injuries. It’s just me and I don’t know about others though.
