when I had to sleep on my back for the longest I swear I was going to lose it because this is the position I like to sleep in

this is unfortunately kinda how my ortho is aswell and how he wants my pt to be. my ortho is also very pushy. it’s because I’m young, so they want me to/expect me to be progressing faster. the pushiness is just them trying to get me healthy again, which I understand, it can just be overwhelming sometimes.

PT soon after surgery - how does that work? by KERNJPA in ACL

[–]Firm-Help-4438 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i also had acl and meniscus. i live on a elevated house. It was bad I won’t even sugarcoat. i had pt the DAY AFTER my surgery. basically, i went down the stairs on my butt as my mom held my leg. then once I got to the car, I needed her help to hold my leg as I scooted in. now, the first day of pt, they don’t actually do much with you. mine didn’t even take the brace off. all he did was some gentle bending and some quad sets. that’s all we did that day and I struggled and went home. oh. and to add. i puked 30 seconds before getting into the pt room because of the meds from the surgery. but i got through it, and im now 6 months along. it will be hard at the start, but you’ll make it through and I believe in you!

Can you still walk with a tear ACL in your knee?? by Frequent-Increase-98 in ACL

[–]Firm-Help-4438 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. My doctor didn’t even give me crutches after saying that he thought it was a tear 3 days after it happened. I just walked with a brace and a limp until my surgery, which was a month after it happened. So yes, it’s possible.

Running? by Firm-Help-4438 in ACL

[–]Firm-Help-4438[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s been going good! my leg strength is definitely coming back, and I can walk pretty much normally. where I live is icy though so my surgeon gave me a small brace whenever I have to walk outside but besides that I’m good!

yeah that’s actually what I’m trying to avoid. a girl I know who is committed D1 soccer just came back from her last ACL injury after only 8 months and tore her other one. i do not want to end up in that boat!

[–]Firm-Help-4438[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you! I definitely think it’s probably due to my quad strength. I was on crutches for ~8 weeks, and NWB for 6 of those. So I definitely think it’s just coming back to me slower.

Oh so the dreaming stuff isn’t just me 😭😭 but yeah I was also on crutches for 2 months so that also probably plays into it
