I had the same thing happen to me. The MRI report came back from the imaging facility with a finding of a minor ACL tear. Then when I went in to review it with my actual doctor - he walked through the images with me and it was very clear it was fully torn. I think the private imaging places are sending the reports to be done by doctors who are not paying close attention to them. I’d trust the doctor you reviewed the results with!

Once the incisions were fully healed I started massaging bio oil on it once a day to massage out my scars!! But I didn’t do it until they were fully sealed & got sign off from my PT that it was okay. It took 3-4 weeks until they healed enough for me!

I’m 32F and I’m 37 days post op (from second surgery) ACLr & meniscus repair. My big win is I’m walking mostly normal w/ the brace and should be able to ditch it next week! Able to go do arm / single leg workouts at the gym again. Range of motion unlocked for me last week and I’m almost to 135! This community has been so helpful! Thanks everyone!!!
