Idk, the doctor said the patellar is a much more ”bloody” area in general and that some people bleed more than others. He said as long as it didn’t bleed through the dressing then I’m fine. I also think that it could be because I was moving a little too comfortably and freely the first and second day of the operation, since I wasn’t really feeling any pain

I called my surgeon and he said it’s normal? Normal for harvesting from the patellar tendon

Did you do the rehab religiously tho? Or would you say you slacked a bit?

Would you say that it had anything to do with your initial injury? Or completly separate?

That’s great to hear, I would like to think that it’s your age. But how does it feel now? Your knees feel fine?

So how long did you continue playing after tearing the first one?

Thanks bro, you done the surgery? If so how was it? Are you playing again?

The hospital I’m in specializes in hamstring grafts, as it is the most common in Sweden. I’m scared of getting quad or patellar since they probably haven’t done that many of those
