Thank you so much for your videos! I'm exactly a week post surgery and had the patellar tendon graft as well. Everything you've been describing is spot on. You've normalized those feelings for me so now I don't feel so alone and anxious about the recovery process. Hope you've recovered fully since your videos. All the best!

Thanks for the videos, they really give me hope for my recovery. I'm waiting on a date for my surgery. Severed ACL, rip in my PCL and ruptured cartilage on my tibia when I crashed my motorbike in June.

Thank you so much for this video. I am scheduled to have the same surgeru on the 18th of Feb. I am also recovering from a broken elbow

Thank you for these videos! 4 years later they are still offering solace to people who are about to face the same ordeal. I'm about 2 months pre-op and have also regained a lot of mobility and strength over the last 3 months since my longboarding accident. Not sure of you have any videos on how you're/it is doing after all this time? would be great to know!

Thanks for your video dude :) My gf is having surgery in two days and you have really alleviated my fears 😃😃

Thanks! Just had mine done and am on day 3. This vid is super helpful. Im in pain and can barely so some exercises. Wondering if i was the only one.

these vids are great, just had acl reconstructive surgery using patellar tendon and they shaved off some of my meniscus. these vids are giving me some reassurance, thanks!

Ditto just had the exact same thing 3 days ago not fun, I’ve definitely been in pain more than he describes and swollen, but I’ve been up and walking around on crutches 🩼 since day one.

I’ve got ACL reconstruction surgery this Thursday. Thanks for making this vid👍👍

Well it’s been about 2 years. I was doing great until I got hit by a godamn SUV about a year after. That slowed me down in a bunch of ways. Looking back though, ACL wasn’t that bad. At one year I cautiously did a very slow 5k.

@GlassicalAce It was incredibly frustrating. Some things happen though, and there's nothing you can or could've done to change them. My comforting theory: As long as you keep moving forward from where ever you currently are, then it doesn't matter how far "ahead" or "behind" you might be.

Dude I just had acl surgery yesterday morning I have full range of motion in my ankle lol I'm sore af tho only to meds once so far it hurts but bearable

I had acl/menicus and the 1st day hurt a lot knee was throbbing and it felt like someone was squeezing my knee cap. 2nd day got a lot better but can hardly move but pain eases up. I’ll see how day 3 goes . Stay strong everyone

24 hours out of ACL and meniscus reconstruction for myself. I like you have yet to experience any pain above a 4. Nervous to start PT.

did you get your surgery by fibre tape internal bracing or conventional screw method?

I had acl surgery and a stitch placed in my minuscus yesterday. I am sitting here on the couch wondering what I will feel like when the nerve block wears off? Some its horrible and others not so much. I had a Allograft by the due to being 35 and Dr. Recommending it for returning to work quicker

What about now mate do you feel your knee awkward or even painful after a sport session

How soon after surgery did you drive?

I’m on day 3 and walking around with a small limp. I haven’t had any physiotherapy though. My Surgeon told me before I went in to not do any leg raises. Apparently this can ruin your new acl

@@dreyb2660 My surgery was good on april 15th i graduated from therapy and on the 12th i’ll see if im allowed to go back to sports. I’ll be honest it was very challenging but the part that was the hardest was maintaining good mental health. there were so many times where i felt like i was doing better physically compared to mentally and i couldn’t even walk for 3 months(1 1/2 months after surgery) the pain wasn’t that bad but I am feeling better and i’m proud of myself for pushing through that low part in life and now i’m working on building more muscle and confidence

WHAT, I’m 3 days post op and this shit HURTS ! I have no use of my leg . Anyone who is considering getting this surgery BEWARE!! The pain is enormous. I had a Patella tendon graph for my ACL and a small tear in my meniscus . Don’t get this unless it is absolutely necessary.

Having surgery in a day. Doing Patella tendon. I could use all the advice and support there is. Definitely freaking out about it knowing the pain and long recovery ill be experiencing and my pain tolerance being low and need to exercise to stay sane being high.
