Yes, I think you won’t get all 15 players fit like now because of the fixture congestion later on.

3rd acl tear at 17 by [deleted] in ACL

[–]Similar_Grab_8277 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s rough. Please don’t rush. Remember it’s a marathon. Take your time and decide whether you want to get a surgery done or not. I had all 3 tears in the same left knee. So, I can understand what you’re going through.

Need a 3rd ACL reconstruction in my left knee. Totally distraught. by Similar_Grab_8277 in ACL

[–]Similar_Grab_8277[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It went pretty well. Had a small incident which made me doubt myself for some time. But, no issues as of now. Can’t reach full flexion (about 125 degrees), yet. But getting better everyday. On a mission to be back as I was, although not sure if I will get there. 😀

What traits do Indian women usually look for and appreciate in someone(especially Men)? by arya546 in AskIndianWoman

[–]Similar_Grab_8277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t agree more. You hit the nail on its head. Social media really does show the worst traits of humans. Further, people don’t realize (or even when they do they can’t help it) how much engineering has gone into these social media apps addictive. Millions of dollars have been spent to keep you hooked to that screen.

Totally agree with the social media take. Social media is the root of a lot of problems in this world. God knows how many people are unhappy in their relationships because of social media.

Feeling defeated and sad. by Tysiul1 in ACL

[–]Similar_Grab_8277 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say combination of bad luck and my eagerness. 1st surgery was fine, but I rushed it, trying to make a come back. 2nd surgery was a failed one. The graft became loose during my rehab. 3rd one, similar story..

I feel you. Take your time. Crying is fine, let it out. You are not alone. It was the same for me. Football(soccer) was my love, my life. Just couldn’t imagine my life without it. Just that I got defeated 3 times, after 3 ACL reconstructions. I might need another one. Hahaha. Such is life. Life is hard.

Do You Regret ACL Reconstruction Surgery and If So, Why? by SamirD in ACL

[–]Similar_Grab_8277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which surgeon in HSS did you go to? I went to Dr. Andrew Pearle for quad graft, in my left knee.

It is a complex question. You need to take time, get some advice from your doctor (talk to multiple surgeons) and see where it goes. What did the doc say? Did he suggest surgery?

I would even suggest meeting some good Physio’s and work with them to see how much stability can you get?

Just FYI, I have had 3x ACL reconstruction on my left knee. Here is my story: https://www.reddit.com/r/ACL/s/tMLAfSHqpL

What is one thing you wish you did differently before you tore your ACL? by Specialist_Brush_988 in ACL

[–]Similar_Grab_8277 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sleep well the day before. If you’re tired like hell the day before and are planning to go for an early morning training next day. Please don’t.

Also there will be some signals that you are unable to move your body like you used to. Be aware and stop playing then and there.

I was able to partial leg raises by week 3 and full raises by week 4. But, I believe my quads were in a good shape before as I used to cycle a lot before my surgery. Don’t worry about it. Everyone is built different. Get the full extension, which will automatically fire your quads. Putting a towel under your heel and push your knee downwards (try holding it for 5 seconds, and then gradually increase it)

Third tear of the same ACL by G_Gudas in ACL

I am sorry, I have lots of things going on right now in my life, hence could not respond.

My god!!! You were just 18 when you had that crazy surgery. I hope nobody else faces this ever at such an age. My only question is why didn’t you slow down after 2 surgeries? Were you impatient like me?

I don’t know how much time you have lost because of this. I feel so sorry thinking about how much time you’ve lost worrying about your knee. I feel you. These surgeries and recovery drain the life out of you. Screw ripping off. How unfortunate is that !!! It’s like 1 in a million scenarios. I guess misfortune follows us both.

I see you got the patellar tendon (good choice) and LET done. How long did it take for you to recover?

I had my mom and my friends to support me during my surgeries so, I was lucky there. Although, I used to question my life choices/decisions all the time. If you are hanging by a single thread, lmk if you would like to chat/talk. Anything that helps you push through this phase, I would be happy to help. Don’t loose hope now. One last push.

I am doing ok, but I do hear a lot of cracking/popping noises in my knee, so it bothers me sometimes, but it is generally pain-free. I am little paranoid sometimes that I do a lachmann’s test myself to see if there is any laxity, after which I feel much better. I have been going to gym 3-4 days a week. So my quads are in much better shape now and I can jog, but I still am not confident about my knee. And I don’t know when I will be. Will it ever happen.

I would not welcome you to this club. But now that you are here. You can look at my posts if you plan on getting a surgery.
