My surgery was 11/16/23. They did my nerve block about 11 am right before they took me in to the operating room. Wasnt bad, kind of felt like starting an IV In the leg. I barely felt it. I woke up a little after 2 pm in pain after surgery. They gave me something by mouth and via IV and I felt relief within 5 mins. I opted to stay over night and they had Oxy 5 mg for moderate pain and 10 mg for severe ordered during my admission. I only needed the 10 mg and discharged early afternoon the say after my procedure. Havent needed pain meds since they last gave them while I was at the hospital and I only took it then because physical therapy had to work with me to clear me for discharge since I live upstairs and live alone. I guess everyone's situation is different. Perhaps, surgeons have different guidelines now for pain management to keep us a little more comfortable.
I’m 4 days post op right quadriceps tendon reattach. I had surgery Monday . Went home from the hospital had that nerve blocker so had no idea the extent of damage . I went up the stairs with crutches made it 3/4 the way brace gave out bent my knee to basically a baseball catchers position heard it pop and then I let go of the rail in fear of more damage and fell down the stairs . Tuesday had emergency surgery to repair everything again and new damage . So now 4 days post op and the constant pain went away but it surges to a 10 and requires pain meds and meditation to calm it down lol. I’m sure the amount of pain is due to two surgeries same place 20 hours apart . I have own a brand of fitness equipment and lifted heavy for years and never injured myself from 500 pound squats and 700 pound dead’s but hit a patch of ice and it’s a wrap 😂
I'm day four right now for my right knee and I can't imagine (well I guess, I sorta can) having to go through this crap twice... Day 1 was awful. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Best of luck and stay strong!!
Damn Damn👀👀.. I’m so sorry that this happened to you.. I definitely haven’t heard of anyone doing that. I’m sorry that this has happened to you.. How are you feeling right now?
I’m so happy the videos helped. I’ve never been through something so difficult physically. My knees didn’t bend without braces until I started physical therapy. Even then the bend was small. I hope your recovery is going well.
God bless for the videos that detail anyone going through this. I had bilateral quad tendon ruptures in both legs on 11/16/2020. I have had ruptured Brachialis and Achilles tendon tears previously. Although there are no nerves in the tendons. The pain comes from the muscles being stretched when the tendon is being reattached. The sooner the surgery the less chance for pain. What is especially disturbing is Big B tore his just walking, and I see other 50+ men tearing their quad tendons sprinting across traffic or coming down the stairs meaning that this would have eventually happened at some time in the future and is probably better that it happen now in your 50’s when your able to come back from this injury and not happen when your in your 60’s, 70’s or 80’s, when most people would just give up and needing to use a walker or wheelchair. Although this injury is extremely rare, the majority of the injuries seem to fall into two categories. Those involving a accident like falling off a ladder or stepping backs and landing wrong causing the quad tendon to tear (were the accident not have happened causing the injury, the person would never have torn their quad tendon). Then their is the 2nd category that appears to be middle age men who have (and are still using) steroids. The bone in the knee where the tendons attach become loose and tear away just doing something simple like walking. I myself fall in a 3rd category where I used steroids for years, and was only taking a weekly injection of testosterone for HRT therapy and rolled out of the way of a car rolling back that I was working under when the parking break failed and would not have torn the tendons on a normal person, but both tore because my tendons had already been compromised. Another thing I noticed reading comments in these video is that a lot of the 50+ gym rats like myself, tend to overdo the physical therapy trying to get back to where they were pre surgery, and end up re-tearing or stretching the tendon, causing them not to recover as well as they would have were they to give the injury time to heal before trying to putting more strain on the tendon before it is completely healed. I wish to thanks Big B for putting out these recovery videos that are more for the gym rats that were working out before they injured themselves.
What’s up Boomer? I’m sorry to hear about Bilateral rupture. It will be 3 years on April 30th for me and I’m still not 100% yet. My biggest problem is coming down the stairs. I can go up the stairs a lot easier. How did your surgery go and have you started physical therapy yet? I appreciate how knowledgeable you are about this type of injury because everything that you said is right on point. Please keep me updated on your progress. I wish you safe and speedy recovery. Thanks for sharing.
Yes indeed Boomer. I did stop the videos and I’m still not 100%.. It’s still super hard for me to go up and down the stairs. Going up is not as bad as coming down. I will start to post some updated videos within the next week or two. One thing that I do now that I wasn’t doing before my injury is some type of recovery. I definitely get more than a gallon of water a day in as well. Great information Boomer. Thanks for picking up where I left off.
@@tonyf92 Recovery is back at 100%. Had PT for 2 months and am back to my normal routine, 3 days in the gym and 5 days cardio(Walking).. I put in the work at home doing my exercises twice a day, in addition to PT.
Matt McLean What's up Matt? I wish for you to have a very successful surgery tomorrow. It will be over before you know it. Don't be nervous bro. I was so nervous going in that my blood pressure went up like crazy. I had to really calm myself down before they could take me in. Once your surgery is over, you really won't feel any pain because you will be drugged up. Lol.. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me anytime during your recovery. Stay positive and strong.
@@LiveTrainEatTheJenkinsFitness you are awesome, and thank you for the words of encouragement. Because my wife and I watched your journey, we asked my doctor to get me a walker. I never would have thought of that.
@@LiveTrainEatTheJenkinsFitness Thank for checking up on me. Surgery went very well. I had a nerve block and it wore off at 1 am. I was a babbling cry baby for 7 hours until I got enough medication to be comfortable. I'm going to in patient rehab for 10 days starting Monday, then home. going to be a long go, but I thank you for your videos. It helped me prepare for this.
I tore both of mine getting off a lawn mower. Sounded like a pistol shot! Pain was tremendous and pain after surgery was horrible also! It’s a traumatic injury and takes Tim to heal.
I ruptured my left squatting on the smith machine. For some reason I thought I was hooked on the latch so I relaxed my body and it missed the latch and instantly forced me down. Surgery is scheduled this week. My question is how long before you could walk without crutches or a walker? I'm a male nurse, so I can't return to work until I can at least walk without crutches.
How much weight was on the Hack Squats? My recovery took a lot more time because it was both legs.. This was the worst time of my life.. It took me like 5 to 6 months.. How old are you?
@@LiveTrainEatTheJenkinsFitness I'm 43. And it was only about 215 on the bar. I did about 265 then did a drop set with about 215 immediately after. I was handling the weights fine. Good form, didn't feel like I was pushing myself too hard, and due to the weight being less than I've done in the pass (just focused on reps that day, I didn't think much to put up the safety bars. And I can't imagine dealing with a bilateral version of this! 😬 And no worries on response time.
Man it's a been a week for me since post op... just 1 leg..and I still can't walk..got annoying dull ache pain which goes under my leg into my groin...have you experienced anything like this
I did the same thing doing squats I ruptured both at the same time I was just wondering how are you now was you ever able to squat again I am back training legs but I haven’t done a squat at all I still have that fear of them popping again.
8 days post op of snapped quadriceps tendons both legs, have been walking to toilet since day after operation & at 61yrs of age could have done without it, but I won't let it beat me !!!!!!
I'm a truckdriver in the UK, I was using a pumptruck to unload pallets from truck to warehouse, I snapped the left leg tendon on the truck & after 10 mins of rolling about in agony I got the pallet off the truck & into the warehouse & then snapped the tendon in my right leg ! The surgeon said it's usually a clean break, but in my case it looks like an explosion in both legs !
@@tonyf92 Hi Tony, 8 months in & it looks like it's gonna be a while yet, had a 2nd partial rupture in my right leg & it's 3 weeks ago the consultant advised against a further op at this moment, stressed it would be a major op & to see how my physio goes ! Just cracking on with what exercises the physio is giving me & not letting this shit get me down 😉 How did you do yours Tony & where are you in the world ??
@@robfereday4753 damn Rob, how did the partial tear happen? I’m 6 weeks post op, in south Florida. Kinda like Big B, I was walking to the beach from a restaurant and overstepped about 1 foot and both legs were dangling out from under me. Been a nightmare since. Good days and bad but sadly enough, and I’m a positive person, that the rough days overriding the good. Are you able to walk or walk w assistance? Work ?
Interesting vid I’m fourth day after operation . The day after operation sent me home im in a flat on my own trapped in bed try to get up five minutes a day .rollover on my front n get out backwards ,forwards is agony .As im in the uk I was given two small packets of headache tablets.Anyone who is going to need this surgery I recommend the nerve block immediately after surgery it seems to last about 16 hours before it wears off.Also get some bottles by your bed to piss into 😀
I'm 3 days post op now. Mysurgeon wont discharge me until monday. Then I'm going to an inpatient rehab for 10 days. I had the nerve block and it lasted 16 hrs. I'll say, when it wore off it took as ll day to get to a tolerable level of pain. It is an extremely painful surgery. Doing better now. Got up with physio therapy and they showed me some good tips
carolinasown I’m reading your comment as I’m getting ready to cycle to work ,it’s a 36 mile round trip that I’m doing 5 times a week ,as ford put my new car on hold due to covid lockdown.The leg is still a little weak but I’m confident that in 6 months time I’ll hardly notice it.Be patient with yourself things get better it’s just gonna take a long time.

Also did you have trouble bending you knee after taking the knee immobilizer off?
