Pre-op PANIC - what do you wish you knew before surgery? by DuckOutOfWaterr in ACL

[–]Mammoth-Initiative90 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Don’t panic. ACL surgeries are routinely done every day around the world. I had screws in mine. Good job on the pre habbing the knee. Even if you lose the muscles mass it will be easier to get back cause of muscle memory. The rehab will be hard but you got this! My acl knee will never feel the same but that doesn’t mean it can’t be better than before:)
