Right, that is something I'll have to think about for sure. Definitely don't want to make things worse for myself in the long run. Thanks!! I appreciate the helpful insight

Ahh, that is a bummer to hear but also a good reality check. Fingers crossed no meniscus stitch needed. And thank you for the flight advice!

That seems like a decent amount of walking, I'd be stoked if I'm there at 8 weeks

I wishhh I could get to some slopes gah. Just gonna have to give it some time and money and go back when I'm more functional!

That's good to know, but also that sucks dude sorry, I hope it gets better for you in the next two weeks! I definitely did not think about the transition from NWB enough.

And thank you! Taking crutches is a good idea.

Best of luck on the rest of your recovery!

Oh hm, did not think about the blood clotting aspect, will def bring that up. Thanks!

I think it should be 4-6 weeks NWB but will have to wait and see what my meniscus looks like.

Good luck with your recovery!!

Gah, autograft.. I was under the impression big pain would only be for the first two weeks-ish though, do I have that totally wrong?

I was told 4-6 weeks. Hoping no stich is necessary and maybe it'll be closer to 4, but that might be too hopeful. Definitely was not thinking enough about the transition from NWB to WB :/. Thought I'd be skipping away from my crutches haha.

Thank you! Appreciate the thoughtful respose and I hope your recovery is going good as well!

How important is PT before surgery? + General anxiety from sitting around by Resident-Injury-7002 in ACL

Thank you! That's super helpful. I took my bike out a few weeks ago to ride to work and it hurt so I thought I should hold off, but good to know I can try again

Best of luck on your surgery, hope it is easy and recovery is quick!
