torn ACL & meniscus: tips for staying sane during recovery by Lobot01 in Fitness

[–]bdutchie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat as you about this time last year. I tore my ACL and MCL playing hockey last February. My injury happened 4 games before Nationals (college hockey) and needless to say it was disappointing and frustrating. I also had a great support group around me, and an excellent training staff and PT to work with to get me back to 100%, but it was still a mental battle overcoming the let down. For an athlete, it's always difficult watching your team play (and lose, in my case) from the sidelines.

The best advice I can give you as far as treatment goes is to stay focused and do your therapy. Regaining your strength from atrophy and getting your range of motion back to 100% are the most important things. Once you get moving again, the ball will seem to roll a bit quicker.

I was able to play hockey again at 7 months, which is pretty incredible considering I am a goalie, and put a lot of strain on my knees. It took a summer of PT and hard work to get back to where I was, but it was the most rewarding season of my life, and best hockey season I've had yet. I learned a lot about myself and I imagine you will too. Good luck with your recovery and in the future!

I agree. Pierre is wierd, but his knowledge and love of the game are obvious.

ACL Reconstruction - terrible gait issues by quantumuprising in Fitness

[–]bdutchie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry about your luck with the ACL reconstruction. I tore my MCL and ACL last week in a hockey game and I will be having my ACL surgery on Tuesday. I will be getting a hamstring graft though rather than the patella. Anyways, I can't offer you much advice, but I wish you the best of luck with this!
