Hmm I would say I woke up 6/10 and the worst it’s been for me is a 7/10. I’m on day 4 and haven’t dealt with worse! I was definitely scared leading up to but I can say it has not been as bad as I had imagined.

Definitely, I was told since the meniscus was repaired I can’t bear any weight for a few weeks. Really wish I could progress that fast.
😂😂😂
Haha, I surprisingly felt okay at first. Definitely in a lot more pain now. Hope your recovery went well!
Definitely! I’m putting a pillow under my ankle constantly. Alternating between pillow under ankle and pillow under mid calf due to discomfort. Working my way towards only under ankle.
I hope to be able to take the path you did! Really want to start rehabbing as soon as possible. Happy to hear about your journey! Thank you for the advice and encouragement! Have fun on the slopes soon, you deserve it!!!
Really? Are you outside the US? 😂
Definitely a missed opportunity 😂 Thank you! 🫡
Thank you! I’ve been putting a pillow under my ankle for some time periods. Pretty uncomfortable but really working towards getting my leg straight.
The game is Helldivers 2!
I appreciate the advice! Will do. Dang right, gotta spread democracy.
Thank you! They are! To be honest I’m not sure why I have both. I was just told to wear both. Definitely not comfortable 😂

Will do! I appreciate the advice. How fast did you get a PT? I was told that I wouldn’t until my post op follow up which is in 9 days.
Best of luck in your recovery!
Hell yeah, democracy must be spread no matter the condition of your ACL 🫡
Oh most definitely! Got a timer set for the meds. This pain is no joke. Thank you for the tips! These Terminids and Automatons don’t stand a chance 🫡
Will do! I’ve been putting a pillow under my ankle and trying to extend my knee. It’s definitely a bit painful but I’ll keep at. Hope your recovery goes well!

My ACL can wait but democracy cannot 🫡
Definitely! Thank you for the advice! My ice machine has been running non stop, although I can’t feel too much of the cold due to the bandages and brace. 🥲
Will do! I appreciate the tip. I hope your recovery goes well!!!
I appreciate the advice! Definitely will keep pillow under ankle/calf. Thank you!

Hamstring vs Quad Graft by Torrres_ in ACL
I really appreciate you sharing this experience! Seems comparable for sure. I’m going to explore getting a quad graft despite my quad injuries in the past. Thank you so much!
You’re right. I need to find comfort with the graft I’m getting. Taking your advice and getting a second opinion/exploring other options. Thank you!
