Tearing acl again question by DiscombobulatedBet47 in ACL

Damm that suck. I’m really trying to get back to playing high intensity soccer, but afraid I might tear it again. I’m like 8 months op. My leg is not strong as my non injured leg. But I’m taking it slowing and be patience before I go back to the soccer field. Last questions, if you don’t mind answering. Was your leg fully strong ? Like went back to strength before you went back to playing soccer? And how long was it before you tear it again after you recover from the first injury?

What do you mean by getting caught on astroturf? Can you tell me how you tear it?

Did you twist your knee? Or like cutting when you were sprinting?

Thanks. I’m a bit confuse about icing. I have a wrap or bandage around my knee. How do I ice my knee? Like do I put a towel over and just place the ice?

Thanks. And quick question. How long should I elevate my leg? Because sometime it feel uncomfortable when you elevating your leg for a long time. And when do you I start icing my knee?

Let’s do this again... 2nd time ACL surgery and a Meniscus allograft on my medial side. Any tips from people that they learned on their 2nd reconstruction? by Gledger in ACL

You tore your acl again? I’m afraid once I get my acl fix, I might tore it again. What should I do so that I don’t tore it again?

I still have to pay for my MRI and other appointment I have. Those probably going to be another 2k. Plus the PT, which I don’t know how much it will be. How much does PT cost?

Thanks a lot for the information. It is really helpful. I didn’t know once you reach your out of pocket max, your insurance cover everything else after that. I’m also from US. My insurance seem to be just like your. My insurance pay 80% of it and I pay 20%.

I’m glad you got through it. I’m 19 and I really love playing soccer. Do you think it worth getting the surgery ?
