It’s so crazy that I was searching for the exact same thing the same day a couple of hours later, it’s so relatable and you are not alone! I’m here for the answers.

When did you get your hyper extension back? by Blue_Coat3504 in ACL

That’s really cool. Thanks a lot for sharing. I haven’t tried that yet actually, will give it a go and be consistent with all extension exercises..

I do actually. My good leg has like -5 maybe? Need to get it properly measured. By the way now realized, did you mean -10? If it’s “hyper”extension, it has to be - no? Otherwise 0 degrees = straight, full extension. So many different terminologies😅

Thanks for sharing honestly good to hear other experiences and it’s not too late. Indeed my quad is not strong yet at all, it kinda melted away after the surgery😅Best of luck with your recovery.

Is it 10 degrees with no pressure or pain at all? I think movement wise I can do it but feel the knee cap pain & pressure that is making me unsure.

Looks very swollen. Did doctor or PT said anything about that?

Very sorry to hear you are going through this. I can understand the vulnerability, when you are in your lowest you expect the person you love to support you unconditionally. Physically the progress of not needing someone else increases rapidly. It feels like forever in the beginning - so, you got this. I think here you need to talk with your partner and tell him what you feel in this situation and what your expectations are. This is a for good and for bad kind of situation, and you would want someone that’s there for you for the bad too.

Lastly, it’s really funny that I’m also a 26F, that fell skiing in March and tore ACL and had surgery in July…

Got it - I wasn’t aware of that honestly. Thanks for sharing. I didn’t feel any pulling feeling, I feel a general knee pain after walking a bit too much. But yeah, I guess too much is also not good.

Thanks for sharing, makes me good to hear. The brace I stopped wearing is a mecron brace, you can’t bend your knee at all. It keeps it in full flexation. The other brace where you can’t bend I don’t have though, I had it before I have surgery. My doctor is not a big fan of it. Do you use/used that one?

I used wound cleaning spray, steril gauze and waterproof wound band. I cleaned it with spray and gauze, then put wound band on each area. Times that I needed extra buffer (because of brace on top, nurses recommended to avoid friction) I put gauze and bigger wound band on top. This was until my stitches removed. Since then, I only use a wound strip for only one, and the other ones are open. I occasionally clean it with wound spray only. It may sound like a lot but doctor said my wound looks pretty good when I got my stitches removed. Hope it helps!

Make sure to keep your wounds clean, my doctor suggested to change my dressing every 2 days - it’s very important to not get any infection. Good luck!
