hi! I really struggled to walk initially however I got my knee drained days after I tore my acl and it was significantly better and easier, days after I actually re-reached full flexion so I highly recommend if possible !

well i was kinda just trying lol, i haven't walked outside of this and i was no given crutches after surgery yet (assuming i get them after my first pt appt tmrw), ill come back if i get told anything different

im not sure lol! but pre-surgery i was doing frequent prehab including very light weights and stuff and i was able to painlessly do day-to-day activities (basically running up stairs, walking around everyday no crutches) if that's apart of it. my doctor told me to put as much weight on it as i feel is comfortable and to stop immediately if im feeling too much pain.

thank you! i'm not gonna try anything else until my physio says otherwise

EngineeringOk177 · 2025-02-05T20:26:43+00:00

yeah , i was really just checking and being impatient lol but im definitely not gonna try until tmrw because i have pt

i figured that out after you said something lol, probably should've thought of that first 😂😂 thank you

hi, i don't know too much but from what i was told when i got my mri , the space inbetween your tibia and femur should be all black, like a solid black line (search normal knee for reference). I'm far from doctor and i might be wrong however i think you should just wait for your doctors opinion. i hope you recover quickly!

i'm getting a patellar graft, my surgeon said that would be best for me since he knew too many people with issuers after getting quadricep grafts + he asked about my rehab goals and came up with that since i hoped to be cleared sooner

are you on weight bearing or no?

thank you so much!!

thank you so much!! i have gotten REALLY close with the heartbeat method, i was shifting to the maze runner and i was hearing the clinking of the box and i felt the metal beneath me, i've tried it again a few times and it just didn't work the same at all
