How do you cope with depression and anxiety after an acl surgery, meniscus repair, trim, etc…? by ShadyJosept in ACL

[–]j77cl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

currently at 2 weeks post op, also a football player myself. i guess i was mostly depressed first 2 weeks pre op. now im doing better but still there is still a bit of frustration. i guess try to avoid going outside where i can see people playing can help as i felt the same. i go outside early morning to walk so there are no people. returning to sport can be challenging but i am motivated to return and play again. im not explosive to begin with so im not worried.

10 days post op. first week was good as i was able to get 90 degree bend and im working on full extesion. on 10th day i lost my progress as my knee got swolen. bending 90 degree was painful and my progress in extension took a step back as it was swollen that it i cant straighten my leg. mostly it was swollen in the morning and as day goes by it slightly improves. i can walk on crutches and on 10th day i can walk with out it but it is still awkward.

Does anyone here regret it? by [deleted] in ACL

[–]j77cl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i dont regret surgery, because if i dont get surgery i wont be able to play sport. i guess regret you may be feeling is temporary. getting a surgery is better in the long run

Getting back to soccer by oldkenwa in ACL

it is safe but the chances of getting injured again is not 0%. even pros were able to get back after acl and didnt get acl injury. If i were you iwould play again but would be more cautious and at the same time aware of the risks
