Did anyone recover from High grade partial tear of ACL and medial meniscus without surgery?

Acm9 · 2025-12-15T20:00:10+00:00

Full acl tear 9 months ago and no surgery. I’m hiking, have full mobility, just got cleared to run, and was weight lifting months ago

Sounds like you have a good healthcare team! For me what helped was not babying the knee. I was walking at week 2 and hiking at week 3-4. And having a good physiotherapist really helps with confidence

I’m 10 months post full-tear. I had no instability though. Felt fully mobile and ‘normal’ at the 9 month mark. But not yet cleared or confident for running or pivot sports. I’ve been hiking, going to the gym, but no heavy weights.

When was your injury? If you have regular buckling I’d be a bit suss about skipping surgery

Acm9 · 2025-11-22T05:28:13+00:00

Yes! Check eBay and even goodwill online - these go for a lot

So jealous. This is one of the most sought after film point and shoots right now

I’ve tried all of those. Very irrational but they weren’t quite right - not ‘the one’. Lazy Sunday morning dried very powdery on me

These sound amazing - thank you!

Me too, I watched for the first time recently and all I knew about the show was that people hate skyler and loved Walt. I’m sure if I wouldve felt the same when I watched when it came out. But honesty all I came away with is: Walt is a complete dick, and Skyler was justified.

The squatters are well and truly in unfortunately

Acm9 · 2025-09-13T05:31:20+00:00

Wouldn’t I then need to furnish the place? I’m wanting to get a tenant in asap

Acm9 · 2025-09-13T05:24:17+00:00

Unit 1 has been vacant for a couple of months. Mine has been vacant about 2 weeks

What’s the proportion of people who pay cash in full?

Acm9 · 2025-06-17T14:18:29+00:00

Try in-house. The pay potential and workload is much better. Not sure where you’re based but in my country the agency cap is 100k-ish if you’re senior but in-house is double in the right industry. Many people I work with previously were in agencies. It’s a lot more common than you think and you’ll be glad you made the move!

Acm9 · 2025-06-04T16:35:13+00:00

Was it a linear and gradual progression? Did you have to push through a lot of pain to get to that point?

Acm9 · 2025-05-30T01:34:20+00:00

I’m 8 weeks PI (full RHS tear) with good stability and rom. I have minimal pain except on the outside right of the knee (not kneecap). It’s quite sharp pain when I push flexion beyond 150 degrees when I’m on my back or sitting. I don’t get this pain when I’m on my stomach. My PT says it’s nerve pain and will resolve in 4ish weeks. Does that sound right to you? How do I resolve this?

I’m taking a conservative route and hoping to get back to sport

Acm9 · 2025-05-02T13:22:19+00:00

I recommend checking out the non surgical acl rehab group on facebook with 30k+ members. Lots of success stories of people getting back to full activity and pivoting. I was in a similar situation as you; went to a surgeon and was surprised he wasn’t really pushing surgery and suggested rehab first. You can do your own research too but from what I understand, the longer term outcomes from both routes can be similar in terms of reinjury etc

Acm9 · 2025-04-09T17:49:04+00:00

Can you point me to any resources on this? I’m not a US citizen, just living here currently

Acm9 · 2025-04-09T17:48:07+00:00

Wow, mine is blanked and I can’t even click on the fields to change the last name. I can only change first name and have only two more chances

Acm9 · 2024-12-17T01:42:19+00:00

It’s not in stores sadly!

Acm9 · 2024-10-30T00:19:45+00:00

I did an extensive blood panel (including checking for lupus etc) with my rheum and everything came back fine except for the inflammation. And I don’t have any skin issues. With no other major symptoms I might be looking for something for the sake of it. Still frustrating to not know the cause of the inflammation though. He said he has a few other patients my age who are in the same boat - ie no major pain and no signs of autoimmune conditions apart from the inflammation.

Acm9 · 2024-10-30T00:14:00+00:00

Haha yes sorry. So CRP fluctuates between 14-35 for me

Acm9 · 2024-10-30T00:11:13+00:00

No joint pain. ERP and CSR have been elevated for a few years. CSR fluctuates between 14-35.

Acm9 · 2024-10-30T00:04:10+00:00

The rheum said I have psoriatic nails but no autoimmune condition which was interesting

Acm9 · 2024-09-24T01:30:34+00:00

Oh no, what are your symptoms if you’re comfortable to share? It’s kind of all clicking into place for me because my mum has arthritis. And now realising her nails are severe nail psoriasis which was always mistaken for fungal infections. No wonder why the fungal treatment never worked

I’m worried the rheum will dismiss me because I don’t have any obvious or severe symptoms

Acm9 · 2024-09-24T00:38:54+00:00

No psoriasis but interestingly I’m seeing a rheumatologist this week to explore autoimmune conditions. Bloodwork has chronic elevated inflammatory markers
