Definitely needed to see this. I've just had my pre op for surgery, but still undecided on whether to go for it as I have returned to sport. Having an insight to the world after surgery is really helpful thank you ❤

Oh wow! What sport do you play? Sounds like you must have done a great rehab to have returned to sport without surgery!

@ACLSurvivalClub I play touch rugby. I was really shocked tbf. Apparently there's only a very small percentage of people that can return without surgery, I defo didn't think I'd be one of them. My biggest fear is something happening after surgery and not being able to play ever again 🙈 sounds dramatic I know. I think I will go for it as, although I'm playing I'm always conscious of my knee and I don't ever put my body on the line like I did before.. I've waited 17 months for surgery so there are lots of doubts lol

I've heard of quite a few rugby players who have managed to continue playing with no ACL - not medical advice by any means but if you feel your knee is stable it might be worth continuing on without surgery. Sending you best of luck with whatever you decide!

I'll have my second ACL surgery in a few weeks for the right knee ~ last time it was the left Very thankful that I got recommended your videos and your journey - makes you feel you are not alone and I hope you know that too :) We'll be ACL Buddies! More power to you & see you on other side!

At 4:50 1) get rid of knee swelling 2) straighten the knee 3) switch quads on

Mine snaped 5 days ago. Recreational football, no one around me, ball is comming high so I raise my left foot to my waist hight to control it. So I was pivoting just a tad on my right leg. Lower part of the leg was still while the part above the knee rotated just a bit. I heard a loud snap. Pain is mainly now coz of the bruised bones and fluids inside. I think I will stop playing football and avoid the surgery. For now...

I have sent you a message on IG but I am not sure if you receive them (sorry for the double message) - I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I have been following your recovery the last months in prep for my own upcoming surgery. I have an amazing team of physios and I have weeks of prehab done - but this video is such a blessing! Thank you for documenting your journey, I feel so much better prepared for what is to come and kind of doing it along side you gives me so much mental peace. I have ordered half of what you have recommended 😂 including the Nutrition X products that you had on your hospital list and I hope my Compex arrives tomorrow :) Very excited to try everything out (is it weird to be excited about rehab now 😂)! If we can ever buy you a coffee or support you otherwise from the other side of Europe, please let us know! I would love to contribute! Thanks for everything you do and we will be back stronger to do the things we love! 💪🙏

Laura - what a wonderful message, thank you SO much it means the world! I don't always manage to see IG messages, so I appreciate you commenting here. Best of luck with your surgery, I've no doubt you'll smash the rehab. Can't wait to see you wearing your shirt too!

Hey, I just wanted an insight into the procedure - the kind of implant and fixations(button vs screws) used for your surgery. I've torn my left knee ACL and am due for surgery in the coming two weeks. Just trying to narrow down on the doctor and procedure. Also, any insight into BioBrace would be helpful.
@ACLSurvivalClub29 күн бұрын
@@shivikarora1646 hey! I had a Bone Patella Bone graft, and I’m not sure what fixations were used but I’ll find out. I didn’t have a BioBrace, it’s surgeons preference as to whether it is used. Good luck! Let us know how it goes
