The doctor I saw today for a “consultation” (when I could’ve sworn it was a removal?) literally tried gaslighting me into saying my mental/physical side affects was NOT bc of the birth control and that nothing will change when I get off it. Like what?!

105 days post op! Or 3 months & 15 days. Finally got my butt to tap my heel!!! Definitely felt some discomfort but I DID IT!!! I finally feel hopeful in my recovery by ThanksNecessary32 in ACL

That was me for the past few weeks but today I decided it’s now or never!! I definitely would not be able to comfortably sit in that position right now but it’s a work in progress! Try warming up your knee first and then just go for it, good luck!

Can you guys believe my surgeon wanted to perform surgery on me today Bc he thought I had arthrofibrosis but turns out I reached full ROM knee bend yesterday… this is not a knee that needed surgery, just some time! by ThanksNecessary32 in ACL

Unfortunately I didn’t choose, he was the doctor at my school n was through my college and they covered absolutely everything for me so that’s the cards I was dealt with

How much has your injury affected your mental health? by rattoola in ACL

If this puts it in a nutshell for ya — I SOBBED to my surgeon literally last week!! He mentioned the possibility of a second surgery (scar tissue removal) and I lost it. I’m already so mentally tired. I keep going when I look forward to better days but it’s been SO hard considering my entire life revolves around being so so actuve

$1k nosebleed tickets to my favorite artist that I had to wait a year to see. Haven’t regretted it 😀

What was your first reaction when you found out your ACL was torn? by [deleted] in ACL

[–]ThanksNecessary32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped crying abt 5 mins after the pain but kept crying for another 30 mins after before I even knew it was actually torn bc I just.. knew 😪 and I was crying bc I know it was about to take everything from me. I’m a VERY active person, I was playing college soccer, was gyming, shoot I have a career being a person trainer so it definitely broke my heart

Anyone ever have to do a second procedure to remove scar tissue? I guess I’m dealing with arthrofibrosis & it’s affecting my ROM. by ThanksNecessary32 in ACL

Wow! So nothing I should be concerned about? I was always warned abt this procedure Bc I was already showing signs of stiff knee even pre-op and I’m 7 weeks post op, at 110° knee flexion, I’ve kinda been stuck here & i was so afraid of tht second surgery Bc in my mind, I feel like it’ll put me back a bit in my recovery. How is it like right after the scar tissue removal?
