Good luck on all of this nonsense.
That has to be a shitty thing to go through. |

I'm asking because I've always been amazed at the level of medical knowledge displayed on this site. If a muscle isn't constantly stretched, an immediate fast twitch reaction can easily pull a weakened muscle from the pelvis. Elite athletes pull strings all the time. Regular folks not so much because we don't make the same movements most athletes make regularly. |

Who is your surgeon? You're definitely going to be laid up for a spell. Probably a full leg brace that actually wraps around your pelvis. It's not unusual for you to have this as an outpatient. They'll give you pain meds. Just use them wisely. And taking a dump? Get a high chair for the commode if you can. More than likely your leg will remain straight while having to sit on the can. If you have a low commode, that's going to be a problem for you. I tore (micro tear) my gastrocnemius muscle in the calf. No surgery. Took 5 weeks to heal. Every step was an adventure. |

I pulled my hammy in the 40. Severely screwed up my time. I ended up running at 4.6. Fail.

Make sure you follow the instructions regarding rehab and at-home PT excercises. Most people discount those things, but they really help. Take it easy for exactly as long and in exactly the ways you are instructed. Do the PT exactly as often as they say you can. Make it your goal to amaze them with how fast you recover!

It'd be ironic if someone here had had my surgeon before.

Sorry to hear Mecca hope you get better soon.
Since you now have time on your hands I expect extensive scouting reports on our positions of need. j/k Since you will be laid up for a while you may want to use the time to do something like learn a foreign language or something. Any thing to keep your mind active during this time. Again good luck and best wishes for a speedy recovery dude. |

It would be even better if the surgeon was someone here.

Me too actually always more of a science guy than language. I guess my point is just have something to focus on mentally. Using the time you have to learn something may help distract from physical discomfort.
