I just got my acl reconstructed, and I've been using about 4-6 extra strength tylenol a day to kill the pain. Is this fine to do during the distraction period of surgery?
What painkillers do they use?
Quote from: Sorcerer on March 11, 2022, 03:06:14 PMSeeing from MyEvolution's diary, he was just using Tylenol(one of the painkillers) to mitigate the pains and he said its effect was awesome, like his pain was originally at 7-8 level and Tylenol reduced it down to 1-2 level.
Yeah, I second this. I had an ACL reconstruction four weeks ago, and while the opioids they described me were okay, Tylenol was just amazing. The pain fell from an 8 to a 0-1 almost immediately.

Just aspirin to avoid blood clots.
Quote from: scandinavian15 on March 11, 2022, 04:41:22 PMOh ok. I was wondering if the chances to have bloodclots after ACL are as high as limb lengthening surgery....
It could be, but I'm young, healthy, and highly athletic, so I don't think it's as much of an issue for me.
