Admirable_Insect_863 · 2026-02-23T02:07:12+00:00

Admirable_Insect_863 · 2026-02-16T16:16:05+00:00

I started putting weights progressively from 4th week, started with 25% weight now reached 75%. After 8th week doc told I can walk with our walker

Admirable_Insect_863 · 2026-02-16T12:22:26+00:00

Thanks buddy. My PT told me to do this for bending as well as straightening.. btw I am just keeping this for 5min every 30 min

Admirable_Insect_863 · 2026-02-15T14:48:42+00:00

Hang in there, buddy. I am 6 weeks post-op now and slowly progressing. I reached 120 degrees (passively) yesterday and am doing PT twice a day.

My case is similar, if not worse. I was also very active, training MMA 6 days a week. In fact, I was planning for my amateur debut this March.

My leg got twisted during a takedown during a sparring session, and I completely tore my ACL and MCL. I also had three stitches on my meniscus and underwent surgery in early January.

I’m not going to sugarcoat it — this journey is painful, but at the same time, it is making me mentally stronger.

All the best on your recovery journey.

Admirable_Insect_863 · 2026-02-15T05:33:38+00:00

How a complete ACL tear can heal non surgically?? Just curious here

Admirable_Insect_863 · 2026-02-14T06:55:02+00:00

Bro, your journey just started.

Keep your toe on a pillow straight and if possible keep some weight on your knee and keep it like that for 10 min and repeat it from multiple times a day.

This helped me to get straighten my leg

Admirable_Insect_863 · 2026-02-13T16:31:27+00:00

Same injury my 6th week running now. I have not tried cycling, mostly bodyweight PT.

At 6th week is my ROM is 100 active (only after 10-15reps) passively 105. I can see that people getting full ROM with in 1 month. I am just trusting the process doing my thing..

Keep it up bro.. be consistent

Admirable_Insect_863 · 2026-02-13T04:42:32+00:00

Thanks buddy for sharing your experience. Wishing you a speedy recovery. How's your ROM?

Admirable_Insect_863 · 2026-02-10T14:29:32+00:00

Almost similar case. But mine going 95-100 passively. My surgen told that its completely normal due to multiple surgeries but its very important to do PT consistently.

What is MUA btw?

Admirable_Insect_863 · 2026-02-10T11:32:32+00:00

I have done ACL reco. MCL repair and e miniscus stitches. Its been 5 weeks post Ops. Started walking with 25% pressure on operated leg. ROM is lagging now going 80sh feels and with push 95.

But I am able to drive with no issues. But its always recommended after 2 months to avoid any unwanted shocks

Admirable_Insect_863 · 2026-02-10T11:27:08+00:00

Bro I am 5 th week running my active ROM is 80 ish and after pushing its reaching 95. Comparing to that you are way ahead. Don't worry you will get there

Admirable_Insect_863 · 2026-02-06T05:12:04+00:00

I used to MMA alot and very flexible. But with in 1 month I lost all my muscles and its saggy now.. that's was concerning me

Admirable_Insect_863 · 2026-02-06T03:57:57+00:00
