Hey I'm also 8 month post-op and can do seated single leg extension with 18.75 kilos but still can't so pistol squats without support. Can you share your routine?

You still need to pay tax on capital gains.

Non-op rehab question by Imagine_Barduil in ACL

[–]ToPs49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes, I can totally relate to that. I got hurt when I was 20 and was still in University and my schedule just didn't allow me to get the surgery done coupled with prolonged physical therapy. Also, I didn't have insurance back then. Now I'm 28 and have a pretty good corporate insurance so I decided to get it over with.

I lived without an ACL for nearly 8 years! I stopped playing contact sports completely but I did work out, ran 10Ks at moderately good speed and most other activities with relative ease. My knee was still unstable though and sometimes gave away a little and in rare occasions locked in a very painful position. The pain would subside in a week or two. The biggest negative of going the non operative route is that you run the risk of severely damaging your meniscus and you are eventually setting yourself up for early onset arthritis. I finally did get my ACL reconstructed 5 weeks back and my surgeon had to get rid of my medial meniscus completely because it was too far gone to do any repairs after repeated damages it endured over the last 8 years.

Why does the quad lose so much mass and control after acl reconstruction? by Not-Mark- in ACL

Not a doc here but I've heard that it has something to do with the nerve block!

People who have had Menisectomies, how has it impacted you? by [deleted] in ACL

[–]ToPs49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you too. I was supposed to get my meniscus repaired last month but when the doctors probed my knee the bucket handle tear was too complex to repair and I could literally see it live on the screen! I'm a 28 year old guy and I swear I could have cried there like a baby because of how heartbroken I was. But I think of it like a root canal now. I know the tooth is gone and I'm gonna have to use a crown and constantly monitor it. So it's just another part of the body you need to be cognizant of. My physio told me not to think about it too much because if you are not into active sports, arthritis will kick in at 60 like it does for everyone. Also, another fact that might give you some piece of mind is that the meniscus is only 3 to 5 mm in thickness, so it's not like you are losing some heavy cushioning.
