😅

How you doing now brother, had mine this morning. Can you walk yet?

Hope you doing much better now

​@@Rdwn7how you doing now? . mine's Tomorrow

@@tobirama3989I’m much better, coming up to week 6. Been walking around a week. Stay on top of your exercises first few weeks and it’ll be cool

@@Rdwn7how Are You now?

Yes definetly agree with all of this, glad recovery is going well for you!

2nd Acl on the same knee or different knee ?

The beginning is definetly hard. Good luck with therapy, be prepared to push your limits for a better future recovery.

seeing how many people saying the pain was too intense, it makes me feel that I'm the odd one lol. I just had my 4th ACL surgery (5th in October), and I never felt any pain, didn't even take tylenol

@@johnnywang8452to be fair, you did go through that process 4 times. You probably just gained a tolerance to that sort of pain

Yea it ereally wasnt too bad, other than Tylenol and Anti-Inflamatories I didn't take any drugs after surgery. How'd yours go?

First day is ok. But wait until the anesthesia really goes away.... its get F... painful. Had mine 3 days ago now.

@SHANNEL JIMENEZ you'll be fine .... just be sure to get those painkillers. First two nights are going to be unpleasant. Trust me. 3rd day you're getting better. Just get plenty of rest

Guys, can u share a little bit more about preparation procedures for the surgery? I am really curious because I am having my surgery in Thursday and I don't really know what to expect.

@@Daniel-ds1lo You will be nervous at the hospital but it will go by fast. Pain depends on the types of painkillers you’re given. If your tolerance to pain is high you will ride the wave with some discomfort. If your tolerance is low then it will kill you. Just be strong.

Thanks! Best of luck with yours. My knee has been feeling pretty good especially recently although I haven’t been playing any sports yet. I ran 6 miles this morning.

I'm getting mine today😭

@@matta2349 Good luck! Hope everything turns out for the best!

Just had mine today. Thanks for the info

They gave you nerve blockers it usually last a day or two

You are so welcome

Good luck with the surgery and recovery.

I’ve torn my acl but decided against surgery even though it’s free for me in the uk. I’ve heard far too many horror stories.

Nate thanks so much for the comment and appreciation, I am so glad the videos helped, really appreciate you letting me know. Glad you are getting after it, it will make recovery much quicker. Thanks again and I wish you the best of luck in your recovery!

Sorry to hear that I hope thngs get better.

I too just had my acl and meniscus done three days ago

The pain levels correspond to the graft method if u had patellar tendon it is the most painful

The same for me … this dude is amazing

lol enjoy!

Thanks for your comment. Glad it’s been helpful. Wish you the best of luck!

I had surgery yesterday, me knee was absolutely destroyed including the meniscus in two points… Good luck with yours!

Hope all is well! I'm having my back surgery in 5 days! 🥲🥲

@angiemartinez8495 Omg! What? Why? So so sorry to hear this.

Hi hope you are doing well now ! I m done with my acl and meniscus repair on 2 Nov . Can you explain me your a little bit current recovery !

Hope it’s getting better with ever day

hey im getting mine in a month and want an update from you that you pushed through it all!?

Just got mine done! Yes! Omg! I thought I had a high tolerance for pain 😂 but I got thru the first day, now on day 3 and icing!!!

Glad it helped good luck to her!

Yea its rough, hope your recovery goes well.

Also, how did you come to have ACL surgery? Sports accident? I noticed your wave shirt, thought I'd ask! I was kiteboarding in Turks and Caicos and landed my jump terribly. I've been accident free, (kiteboarding) for 6 years. I go to TCI on my honeymoon and mess myself up. LOL! Oh the irony...

Got surgery today, hopefully if yours has already been done it went well

@@shannonsmits8490 yea for me it was ultimate frisbee landing from a jump

@@shannonsmits8490 I have to get a MRI Thursday and I'm very nervous to what he's going to tell me very nervous that I'm a baby for pain so is there any pointers that you could give me and hope everything going well on your end I'm just too nervous because I do not have any support only my 13-year-old hopefully it can help me out and how long did it take or how long would it take for you to be 100 to get back to work just say am I in please talk back thank you God bless

@@Famvestor hello sir I came along your video and you seem like a very strong Trooper and you're taking it as a champ you give me confidence and I thank you for making these videos I see the MRI for my knee it popped a few weeks ago and after that it haven't been very well I'm not any sport player but I'm a active dad and I'm always working feel like constantly I guess my knees just said they're done I guess but I want to keep the confidence As You Are I have a 13-year-old and I'm 34 years old I can say I'm around 200 pounds maybe five six but I'm always on my legs 17 hours a day approximately sometimes but there any pointers you can give me I've been dealing with a lot of depression and a lot of anxiety which I do have and it's like taking a toll on me I want to know how long would it take to be full recovered and ready to work because I am worried about staying off my feet for a long time which you know Google will tell you a lot but how long you will be out they say 12 months and I can't afford that which I don't want to believe that please write back thank you God bless hope you have a full recovery which I see you are thank you God bless

I hope it’s feeling better bow

Stefan Stojkovski glad to hear it. I’m 4 weeks out and walking now almost normal without a brace or anything.

Any updates? Still doing good?

@@Famvestor got mine in a few days any tips?

@@jelly_pvp6670 hmm not really anything more than I said in the video... I guess just Ice as much as you can I. The beginning. And get to PT as fast as you can, and be diligent about the exercises.

@@Famvestor ok ty I’ll let you know how it goes I get it in February 9th

Good luck it’s not fun but worth it.

Hey I js wanted to ask, can you run like before the surgery? since its been 6 months now?

How'd everything go, you 100% yet?

@@Famvestor yes all is well thank you. Hope you are well too!

How long where u out of work if u do or how long would u think I'll be off my feet to get bck to work

@@Prayedup254 I took two weeks off, but my Brother went back to work after 5 days. I just wouldnt want to be on my feet all day, I feel like its better to keep youe egg elevated as much asa possible to reduce swelling.

good luck on your recovery.

How did everything go, you running yet?

Bbhhhhhj

Oh man thats rough, I also tore my left ACL playing volleyball last year... I have an updated set of videos... Keeping your leg straight is very uncomfortable... but also very necessary for correct healing- best of luck, hope recovery is going well.

@@yeano1109 Goodluckk girll, stay patient we got thiss

@@yeano1109 good luck I get mine on Wednesday

I am yet to undergo a patella tendon tear repair. Seeing the surgery videos I am getting scared . Mine is partial tear. The doctor said it may heal naturally but will not be strong enough to play sports without a surgery. I am confused.. Post the surgery, can I go to restroom using walker without applying weight on my injured leg?

@@hardtrailrider Well its more than okay to be worried but i can assure you that if you stay consistent with workouts and keep pushing u will get through. I think if you operate the acl it will be better rather than relying on that partial tear especially if u are a very active person. After my surgery i just used my crutches to go to the restroom and as it concerns how much weight u put on it u should speak with ur doctor/PE. Other than that Im 4 months past now and im doing great, jogging, training, feeling good. Good luckk

Happened to me too, on my foot, doctor said I had to raise my leg to drain the blood out

Same to me I got a blood clot from my acl tear and cuz I’m young and healthy I had to be on blood thinner for 6-8 before surgery holding me back a while

You're welcome

Hope its doing better, keep icing and elevating!

Hope your back to walking normally now.

@@Famvestor yes, but limping a little

Get fine soon buddy 💯😘

@@godsslaveever7525 thanks brother, 9 months tomorrow!

This is my 3rd month of ligament tear it's been a big drawback for my family 😡 but still I am In hope it will be soon cured iam waiting for a smooth job and good salary

@@godsslaveever7525 all the best for you. How is recovery?

Just had surgery 2 days ago and it’s the worst pain ever

Best of luck! It’s a long recovery journey but I think worth it

I’m getting MPFL and TTO real soon. How’s it been for you?

Yeh I had ACL and mpfl done in one surgery. Ure right mpfl feels so weird and it’s as if nothing was done. But it does get better with time

Sorry to hear that. It wasn't my experience, is it any better now?

@@Famvestor yes it's better now. But I also had a meniscus tear repair too. And they too my quad tendon. I heard all that involved more pain and recovery. But everyday the pain and mobility is getting better

How’s it going? I get mine in a few days…

Lisa Tenner glad it could help. Good luck!

This is for the same knee or opposite knee? Good luck!

@@Famvestor same knee unfortunately

​@Rachel Hayes why again? I am planning to get my acl surgery next month.

@@sumanlata01 I ruptured my acl again and my medial meniscus tore again as well. Not entirely sure how it happened again but it did. I got surgery on it though April 14.

@Rachel Hayes oh dear..that sounds terrible.. was it during the rehab you broke it again? Wish you speedy recovery 👍

Are you using a lot of ice? That was the best pain management.

How are you now ?

So you did get it done? Hope recovery is going well

Yea watch my 2nd and 3rd ACL video

Wow sounds like an absolute nightmare, wishing you all the best of luck with recovery!

Its rough in the beginning, but every day is better!

@@Famvestor thanks dear, it motivates me

Sorry to hear it. My wife is half Austrian. I loved Innsbruck. Anyway good luck with surgery. I hear strengthening your legs before surgery can help quicken recovery.

How are you going now?

Its rough in the beginning but everyday gets better! watch my other videos.

Howd it go?

@@Famvestor it would good man. It was really hurting when I got back to my place but I'm doing ok. I'm getting so norcos tomorrow wish I had them now

@@Famvestor always having alot of muscle spasms

Same

How you feeling I’m 3 days post op today

Hope it all went well, best of luck on recovery!

From my experience it’s best to take at least the first 2 weeks off. The ACL graft and hamstrings tend to be quite weak. And moving around doing simple things like going to the toilet it’s best to have someone just watch over you and make sure you don’t topple over. Some people manage fine but I’m pretty sure the Surgeon will tell you himself to take a bit of time off at least.

Good luck hope it’s been going well

That's rough, sorry to hear that.

I experienced exactly what you said today

What was it like 7 months post op? I feel alottt of discomfort around my meniscus

@@07lacha I didn’t have any problems then. I was still in pt and started playing softball again but I wasn’t cleared so I didn’t do much but I didn’t have any discomfort in my meniscus just a little pain here and there from starting to do more then what I was.

@@jaydagilbert8525 was your meniscus repaired or the doc removed a part of it?

Oh man that sounds rough. They are doing both knees at the same time?

No they are doing my left knee February 5th and then 6 weeks after they will do my right leg

Yea it’s rough. But I tried to live with a broken ACL for over 2 years. Always rei hiring it and swelling for days… I’m glad I finally got the surgery. A long recovery but now I am back to playing volleyball.

So I was always able to walk before surgery, after a few weeks of my body healing itself and swelling going down I could even run on it no problem, but the problem was before the surgery I kept tweaking it and it would swell up. I didn't get surgery for like 3 years, and in that time I probably tweaked my knee every other month. I needed crutches after surgery for like the first few days. I think I started running like after 3 months. But I didnt start actively playing sports again till like 15 months.

Icing really helped with pain management for me.

How’s recovery going?

@@Famvestor , it’s going good. Day 2 to 13 was worst than I expected. It was very painful and pain meds did not help at all. My bending measurement is at 115 as of yesterday. I still feel pain on my knee car area though.

How do you feel now after a few months? Oxycodone hasnt done much for me either, but Just had my surgery for full acl and meniscus tear and im curious! Praying for your speedy recovery🙏

Glad you liked it. Best of luck on your recovery

How's the recover going?

Yes the meniscus repair definitely slowed my recovery.

Sorry to hear that. Hamstring or patella tendon?

FamVestor patella!! Any tips on how to sleep with a knee brace on haha it’s v uncomfy after the first week

@@ashleyjean3430 I know it wasn’t recommended but I stopped wearing my immobilized brace after a few days... It was hard to ice the leg with it on. There is a lot of concern that you might twist your leg while sleeping or slip off your crutches while walking... and re tear your injury... but I decided to risk it... I wouldn’t advise it, but that’s what I did...

Thank you

Im on day 10 rn out of acl surgery (and meniscus) and the pain is awful. I haven't slept more than 3 hours straight since the surgery, and some nights I've barely slept at all. Im non weight bearing bc of the meniscus and locked in extension and its awful. The mental part of it is crushing, not to mention the physical pain. The best change I've made so far with the pain was to switch from opioids to prescription ibuprofen--so much better then Tylenol. Good luck

@@pipergenkin1688 I’m so sorry to hear that! I’m on day 9 now and I already feel much better. I’m using an icepack to cool my knee as much as I can and that helps a lot and I try to do some exercises so my knee doesn't get stiff again. I hope you sleep better soon because for me that was the worst part. Try to sleep for a few hours during the day because you need your sleep the most now. If you need someone to talk to feel free to send me a message! I hope you feel better soon ❤️

Glad its been getting better, yea Ice and elevation really helps with pain, good luck onyoru recovery journey!

​@@pipergenkin1688Can I sleep on one side after surgery?

because i have back problem so i can't sleep straight for long time.

Sounds about right.

The road to recovery begins. Was the meniscus shaved or stitched?

Hope you are feeling better now bro💕

Lol I am a Ultimate player, and that how I tore my right ACL too...

It’s rough in the beginning Id watch my other videos for suggestions especially my left ACL videos. But it’ll get better for you soon.

Best of luck on your recovery

Sorry to hear it, hope things go better for you. Give them a call. and start doing some of the exercises I show.

Yea both times for me. Just a lot of ice and Tylenol

Did it get better? How are you doing now?

Brace is just to lock the knee right? Just make sure the pivot point are where your knee bends.

How’s it going?

@@Famvestor getting stronger. My knee still feel wobbly, and swollen. Not liking the crutches. But at least it’s done. Thanks for sharing your story

My doctor operated in NYC, HSS hospital. Dr Defelice,I think he has operated on NFL players and all he does is ACLs. I used him for both knees and would recommend him.

Thank you for the recommendation. Had my follow up and the doctor is suggesting the patella tendon option. He said it’s the “gold standard” for ACL reconstruction options typically for young athletes.
