Can I Play Basketball after TCA Cross? Expert Advice on Recovery Time and Safety.
Alright, let’s talk about my little experiment with basketball after that TCA CROSS thing. I mean, who even comes up with these names? Anyway, I had this procedure done, TCA CROSS, for some acne scars. They basically put strong acid on your skin. Sounds scary, right?
So, after the procedure, my face was, well, not looking its best. It takes about 5 to 6 days to heal up, they said. I was like, “Cool, cool, cool,” but inside I’m thinking, “Can I still play ball?” I’m no pro, but I love shooting hoops. It’s my thing, you know?
First few days, I was just chilling, mostly indoors. Didn’t want to risk anything, especially with the sun and sweat. The skin felt tight and weird. I followed the instructions, keeping it clean and all that jazz. I did some treatments, about 2-4 treatments for those acne scars.
After a week, I started feeling better. The redness was going down, and the scabs were falling off. I was itching to get back on the court, literally. So, I thought, “Why not?” I grabbed my ball and headed to the local park. Started with some light shooting, just to get a feel for it. No sudden moves, nothing crazy.
- First, just dribbling: Felt good to have the ball in my hands again.
- Then, some free throws: My aim was a bit off, but hey, I was just happy to be there.
- Moved on to layups: Took it slow, no jumping just yet.
I played for about an hour, nothing too intense. Just enough to break a sweat and feel like myself again. I was careful, though. No diving for loose balls or anything.
I kept at it, playing a couple of times a week. Each time, I pushed a little harder, listened to my body, and didn’t overdo it. It wasn’t about winning or losing; it was about enjoying the game and getting back to my routine. Some folks mentioned returning to sports after some “anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction” and seemed to have some sex differences, but I don’t know about that. I just followed how my body felt.
Feeling Good
Honestly, it felt great to be back. It wasn’t just about the physical activity; it was about feeling normal again. The TCA CROSS thing worked out pretty well, and I was back to doing what I loved. Plus, being active probably helped with the healing, who knows?
So, yeah, that’s my story. Had a little skin procedure, took a short break, and then got back to playing basketball. It all worked out in the end. Just remember to take it easy and listen to your body, and you’ll be fine. Also, some people said that it might take at least 4 weeks to get back to sports or work. For me, I tried to play basketball after about a week.
