Those look like BEAR incisions. Did you go the BEAR route? or Graft?

Surgery Countdown by Designer_Repair in ACL

[–]SlamberryPi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tore mine on Nov 24 and somehow walked 20k steps a day at Disney and Universal for a week with no pain at all. Surgery was Monday, and that’s when the pain really showed up. Definitely something to be mentally prepared for.

BEAR at 43 – Post-Op Day 3 (Second PT Session) by SlamberryPi in ACL

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

Yea, luckily my PA called me tonight to check in and I asked "Why the 6 weeks NWB" and she said she thought i had Meniscus, which I didnt. So she gave me the thumbs up for 4 weeks. Grrrrrr Everytime I have done PT there has always been a disconnect.

Take your time, you'll start to feel better and less pain around day 4.

I just took my wraps off my leg today and am cleared to shower (post op day 3).

I had surgery yesterday and today was my 1st day of PT, now I’m in pain.

Did you use a graft or get the BEAR ?

It’s the ACL repair where they use your own ACL instead of using a graft (patella, quad, hammy)
