Well, I wish my first completed item of the year was more pleasant and that I had tried cupping under much more pleasant circumstances.
In February, I tore my ACL.
In April, I had surgery, where the surgeon took a bit of my quad muscle and then inserted it into my knee, replacing my ACL.
So, I go to physical therapy three days per week.
Right now, I'm in the period where there's just a lot of physical manipulation, trying to dispel scar tissue, loosen up tight spots, and regain my full range of motion.
Last week, my PT started massaging my hamstring, and while a massage sounds nice, instead, it felt like a burning, stinging sensation because it's so wildly tight. So, my PT pulled out a cup, sucked my skin into that cup, and then ran it along my hamstring. Jkdsl;afdja I did not enjoy that.
I do think it might be kinda nice on my upper back and to loosen up other areas, but this version just hurt. I do hope to try it again because I'm curious about the benefits, which you can find here.
p.s. I highly recommend my PT, who is with Rush, but we're in a very unfun period of recovery.
