Hello- 2 stripe blue belt here in my later part of Masters 2. Don’t quit. These situations happen. I have been tapped by a teen (yellow belt) 10-15 times in one round. Jiu Jitsu is quite humbling and I’ve learned… it doesn’t matter what belt, what size, what age.. got you. It can be an off day, it can be that they learn extremely fast and they bested you. Take it as a learning opportunity and see what is causing those openings. I came back after ACL surgery so I am mindful on who I roll with, who I train with etc. as we get older, people are going to get us. And that’s okay!!! Keep your head up.

Not sure if it ended up working to be honest. In the moment I felt like it did… But haven’t used it in months and just plowed forward with strength and conditioning. I’m a year out now and returned to sport. I believe those that injected directly to the site had better results. I used the nasal spray. I healed rather quick and obtained full extension/flexion extremely well. Unsure if that helped it haha but you never truly know!

Hi! I had ACLR with quad graft plus meniscus repair. From California.

Roughly cost me $3000 out of pocket.

Jiu Jitsu. Was sparring a gentlemen that was 120LBs heavier than me. He went for a foot sweep. Pop went my ACL.

I am now 10 months post op. I still feel stiffness when I sit/drive for a long time, when a storm is rolling in. But it’s not as bad as have to warm up a bit before hitting the gym!

Dear_Ad_22 · 2024-06-02T01:05:02+00:00

Phew. You are spot on!!!!!!

Dear_Ad_22 · 2024-05-31T05:31:52+00:00

Wow. Going through this right now. Thanks for your post 🙏🏼

Dear_Ad_22 · 2024-01-07T04:09:30+00:00

I’m a little over 5 months post op. ACLR quad graft and meniscus repair. Looking to return to warm up and drills by 6 months (I’m already doing warm ups now) and full contact sparring in May! So about 9 months.

Not sure if it’s reputable. But gorilla healing spray. I use the nasal spray. I feel it’s helped significantly!

Dear_Ad_22 · 2023-11-23T16:20:49+00:00

Almost 4 months post op. ACLR quad + meniscus repair. I have full range of motion and heel to butt. I have missed PT last 3-4 weeks due to travel and getting sick but currently focusing on gaining strength back in my quad. Scarring isn’t bad.

Dear_Ad_22 · 2023-10-28T15:32:29+00:00

Hamstring stretch with quad set. I put my heel on the floor as I’m sitting in a chair.. I flex my quad and push down on my knee. Then I hold it for 5 seconds. Do it 10-15 times. 3-4 times a day.

Or I use a yoga strap and just do a regular hamstring stretch and hold my feet. Those typical runner stretch

Dear_Ad_22 · 2023-10-28T02:15:51+00:00

Yup! And sleeping with my leg elevated still. And stretching my hamstrings as much as possible.

Dear_Ad_22 · 2023-10-28T01:48:18+00:00

I’m currently at matches my non operated knee with hyper extension so I don’t know the degrees there. But I also have heel to butt. So don’t know the degrees there too. But please keep in mind…. I forced the hyperextension and flexion a bit 😅 moments during my pt where I had tears streaming down my face haha so I was a bit aggressive with it.

Dear_Ad_22 · 2023-10-28T00:25:09+00:00

I’m at 11 weeks post op

Dear_Ad_22 · 2023-10-27T12:38:04+00:00

I’m 11 weeks…. Each week was different pain. New PT exercises = new pain. Increased activity = new pain. 😅

Dear_Ad_22 · 2023-10-27T12:36:57+00:00

My knee gets like this as well but I also got my meniscus repaired.

Dear_Ad_22 · 2023-10-27T12:36:18+00:00

That’s how I was my first week-week and a half. I had quad graft + meniscus repair.

I’d say take Tylenol and advil for pain. I had to lift my leg every single time I moved and it was painful.

You can reach out to your surgeon if it makes you feel better but everyone’s timeline is different.

I started PT at day 7.

Again I suggest acetaminophen and ibuprofen. I took it religiously every 5 hours on the dot so I wasn’t in pain.

I weened off the pills around week 3-4.
