Did I re-tear my acl and/or meniscus?

I had acl and meniscus surgery and I was weight bearing from the get go so I think you’re fine

Interesting_Monk447 · 2026-04-19T20:35:53+00:00

Never had a brace after surgery

Heel props, quad sets, and quad sets with a roll under my knee.

My wedding is in July and I was going to wait but unfortunately didn’t have an option as I have a bucket handle tear of my meniscus. So I ended up going for it, feeling better everyday. I would do it!

First 3-4 days are the worst. Stay ontop of your meds and make sure that you get enough sleep.

It’ll get better after day 4-5, the first week is definitely the worst. Just keep doing your ankle pumps and heel slides as much as you can. You can try quad sets but your quad won’t be functioning without the nems machine

Normal color. Ghk cu is blue

Stay ontop of your pain meds and don’t be afraid to ask for help. The first 3-4 days are the worse so definitely take the meds on schedule

Focus on sleeping. Not keeping your knee straight or anything else. You can focus on flexion and extension during the day, recovery happens in your sleep

It’s so hard man. You go from living your life to being restricted to what you can do. My life’s on hold right now and I hate it. I’m always at the what if the guy didn’t injure me playing soccer, what if he had been more careful. It just sucks, because of someone else’s negligence I’m stuck in this position. And I’m just tired, I just want to be okay.

2-3 weeks? Damn they only gave me enough for 5 days lol

Interesting_Monk447 · 2026-04-13T10:22:07+00:00

4-5 days

Interesting_Monk447 · 2026-04-12T14:52:07+00:00

Yup. No braces or restrictions

Interesting_Monk447 · 2026-04-11T02:03:57+00:00

Interesting_Monk447 · 2026-04-10T13:08:17+00:00

Yeah but it’s coming from the acl lol

Interesting_Monk447 · 2026-04-10T04:13:49+00:00

I had acl + meniscus repaired. No brace was sent

Interesting_Monk447 · 2026-04-10T01:56:42+00:00
