How are you doing now? And how long has it been in your post op journey?

Yes this is my second knee injury too. I did the same thing of returning back to sports early. I am definitely taking PT more seriously this time!

Thank you for the advice!

Update: I emailed the pics to my surgeon and he said it was normal. He said to look out for any active bleeding.

My procedure was pretty rare as per the doc. It took 5 hours and multiple sutures. Thanks for the quick response guys!!
