This sucks - ACL injury

[RyanbabZ71]

Did you have a cadaver graft? There was a kid (high school I assume) in pt with me Friday who had his rebuilt from his hamstring he was still in a brace and on a crutch and head his surgery 2 wks before me. It seems like I was ahead of him already in rehab?

I had the cadvar it seems like different doctors have different ways of doing it, I found out the main reason I was on crutches for so long was because I had my mensicus repaired and it needs longer to reconnect properly.

How is everyone's rehab goin?

 

Not bad here up to using weights (leg press). Still have a right feeling and get some swelling but I can bend it about 75-80% of what I originally could

Going pretty good here as well. Bending to 130 degrees, still need to work in full extension only at -5 need to get around -15. Also meet with the surgeon and looks like I'll be running around month 3 or 4.

 

What kind of weight are you pitting up, I know my leg difference is pretty noticeable.

Like 140 with both legs and maybe 110 on the bad leg? I get remeasured later today I was at 120 a few wks ago, I think I will be much further than that but we will see

Sorry to hear. I've been through 2 ACL surgeries--left and right. Both have been replaced. The first few weeks post-op weren't too fun, but I bounced back quickly after that. And the pain medications help alot. Good Luck!!

Wow sounds good, I'm at the 2 1/2 month mark. I'll get to start running at month 3. Are you restricted at all? How do you feel about the overall recovery?

restricted? Dont really know. The 3rd week I was out cutting grass I am working and on it most of the day with little issue. As the weeks go by the more normal it feels (funny feeling is going away)

 

I ran on the elliptical today and have been biking on the my recumbent bike. I have tried to run and its wierd its like I just cant do it yet. I heard it kinda clicks and you can just start doing it. For some odd reason I have an itch to run (do like a 5K). I told my wife this fall we are doing a race.

Had a 3 and a half month checkup today. All is still well I get to start jogging and I can go shoot around just no pickup games for some time stil
