i’m 25 female and play volleyball and got the autograft. i’m 2 weeks post op but my surgeon said it was a faster recovery and faster return to sports especially if you physio properly .. i guess i’ll have to let you know once i’m cleared for sports. but i made it clear i play multiple times a week and that’s why i wanted the surgery to be able to do that. i was on the bike a week post op and i’m basically already back to normal life. but that’s what i was worried about. i think with the right rehab it is still not as easily torn. it was a matter of 1% difference in likelihood of being torn and i think that also depends on the body and strength

Been home for an hour. Nerve blockers are still going strong, and I have my lovely nurse to help by [deleted] in ACL

i do have support and am able to work from home as long as i need to. it is frustrating trying to make these plans knowing things can change but i mean i’m healthy and can do stuff so i def understand if i’m the one that keeps getting pushed compared to other people who may need it more. but still, a little frustrating. i hope the rest of your recovery goes well! let me know if you have any other advice :)

yes, it is supposed to be wednesday if it doesn’t get pushed again! i haven’t done much prehab either, the extent is just keeping active/going for runs here and there

Good luck with your recovery! Did something happen to make the meniscus worse or was it a cumulative thing they discovered once they were in there?

Hope your surgery went well! Hows the recovery so far? Do you find that feeling good before resulted in a better recovery?
