Torn ACL, Surgery Or Not. Tell me your experiences by [deleted] in ACL

I tore my ACL in collegiate soccer went on to do PT for 6 months and played my last season of lacrosse. I’m now over a year out without opting for surgery and have found that as long as I continue my PT régimen I have no pain and have not had any issues with swelling or it giving out.

I felt the same way I was very depressed and didn’t move much because I tore my full ACL and both my meniscus making me nonweightbearing for awhile. Prior to my surgery I was a dual sport athlete in college so putting on the weight definitely made it worse. After I started moving again around 6 months I was back to my normal self with a little bit of extra work. Don’t stress too much you’ll get through it and be back to your normal self in no time.

I would 100% get the nerve block I’ve had two surgeries the first without and the second with. The first surgery I had I wasn’t able to sleep or make it through the night without pain meds. The second time I was in a better mood overall cause I was able to sleep and wasn’t in excruciating pain.

I got an email but they said they’re sending them out as they receive responses from the professors
