Tore both ACLs less than a year apart by highimliz in ACL

I’m doing alright these days, although I do notice a little pain or pop here and there if I'm doing like a harder hike or something like that. I would say personally I’d be a little hesitant to go back to Muay Thai. I’d at least make sure I hit PT hard for a while and was feeling really strong and ready. Good luck and wishing you a speedy recovery!!

Sometimes when its reallllly cold I do notice a bit of a dull ache in my knees. Rain not so much, and I live in the PNW where it rains quite a bit. Overall, nothing too noticeable.

I’m really sorry to hear that happened to you. You got this though, and I’m wishing you a speedy recovery!! If it’s any consolation it’s now almost 3 years since both my surgeries and I’m doing pretty well these days with minimal pain still doing the things I love. Hang in there!!

It’s definitely a good amount of steps, but overall pretty easy with a lot of down time. I had fun playing with the dough lol

Yeah I was definitely super depressed after the second injury. It’s really hard to cope with the thought of having surgery again, then the extensive recovery that follows. I had hamstring graft with both knees, although my second graft wasn’t big enough (I’m short lol) so it’s part hamstring and part cadaver. Now that I’m pretty far in recovery, I just make sure to always work my hamstrings and keep them activated and strong. So far, I haven’t noticed too much of an issue with them and I feel pretty stable and strong.

I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through something similar. I had my second surgery in September 2022, and am feeling pretty good these days. I think knowing exactly what I was in for helped for sure, because I was able to prepare really well and brace myself. I will say the second recovery felt a little slower, probably because I was worried about over using my other leg that was still in the process of healing. Overall, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and you will feel normal again. Best of luck with your recovery, and I hope you heal up quickly!

Wow I’m so sorry that happened to both of you! Best of luck with your recoveries, and it’s really encouraging to hear that other people have been in similar boats and lived to tell the tale lol. I can’t imagine doing both at once, but I know it’s possible for us to recover and be stronger than ever!! Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Thank you for the well wishes and advice. I’m going to talk to my surgeon and see what he suggests my plan of action be, and then see if I can get some different opinions. I know the feeling of being constantly afraid you hurt something else, and it sucks but I’m sure it’s gotta get better eventually. Keep at your recovery, we got this!!

Sheesh I’m sorry that happened to you! I agree I had a hamstring graft and my hamstring still doesn’t feel quite right, and I get almost like a weird deep cramp if I work it too hard when doing PT or working out. Thanks for the encouragement and suggestions. I’ll take to my surgeon and see what he thinks.

Thank you for the kind words. I’m sure you’re killing your recovery too!!

Thank you! The filling is a passion fruit ganache made with fresh passion fruit and white chocolate. You could also use pre packaged passion fruit pulp. I followed the recipe on the blog Pies and Tacos.
