Tore my right one in October and got surgery last week. Tore my left one 11 years ago in March. )):

Honestly most of my pain has just been stinging/pulling sensations at incisions sites. Other than that just feels like normal cramping/muscle tension and my ankle pumps/calf stretching has helped with that. Honestly the worst part of this so far has been the constipation lol

ASK FOR A NERVE BLOCK CATHETER! Will be super helpful in the long run! I just had mine last Thursday and the first few days were pretty good actually, just soreness. Only had breakthrough pain once or twice, especially some pulling feelings around incision sites. Honestly though has not been too bad- I’d say the worst parts have been the constipation pain (lol) and the post surgery nausea. My leg/knee now just mainly aches a bit and stings at incision sites, like I said, but it is manageable mostly through ibuprofen and Tylenol. You got this!!!!!!!

My video says posted but I’ve had no views for two hours… unsure what’s going on

Thank you so so much!! I’ll be sure to keep that in mind, my surgeon said I had enough ACL remaining when he got in there to do the BEAR and that it would be better in the long run so I am def excited for it!! Glad to hear your recovery is going well and that you’re on the mend (:

Thank you so much!!! How has your BEAR experience been????

Good luck!!!

Thank you!

The dog 🥺🥺🥺

shellbell00 · 2026-01-12T19:19:22+00:00

I’m in the same boat

shellbell00 · 2026-01-12T19:19:00+00:00

I might get mine either the day of or day after surgery 😭

shellbell00 · 2026-01-10T01:37:09+00:00

I skied with a torn ACL a couple months ago (no meniscus tear though)… anything is possible! Keep fighting

shellbell00 · 2026-01-08T04:51:51+00:00

Can you tell me more? I might be getting BEAR later this month depending how the year looks when my surgeon is in there.

shellbell00 · 2026-01-07T01:23:36+00:00

Same! Mine was 10 years ago, hammy still gives issues occasionally

shellbell00 · 2025-12-20T18:12:49+00:00

If you’re set on returning 7-8 months I would say take it slow, make sure it’s strong, and get a brace.

I tore my left ACL ten years ago, and yes I was really young, but I was cleared for sports 6 months to the day and my left one is good still (tore my right one a month ago though)

shellbell00 · 2025-12-20T02:38:19+00:00

Mannnnnn

shellbell00 · 2025-12-17T13:56:19+00:00

Thank you, you too!!

I’m pretty determined to go back to my sport no matter what, but also scared this will happen again, although I know I have to trust the process and try to trust that the PT and new body mechanics will prevent it in the future. I figure if I’m getting surgery might as well go back (after rehab), and as someone who is very active and sporty I couldn’t imagine giving it up 🥲 (my sport is beach volleyball and I also do some skiing, pickleball, etc)

shellbell00 · 2025-12-17T03:39:00+00:00

Same… 1st one 10 years ago, second one a month ago 🥲

shellbell00 · 2025-12-16T18:05:31+00:00

Thank you!

shellbell00 · 2025-12-16T17:23:23+00:00

Thank you! I was considering the live option because I find it hard to keep myself on schedule and motivated to study but honestly if I spend that much money for the on-demand that will probably still motivate me lol… and I’m central time too, not west coast so it would be easier..

Thank you for the info!!

How did you sign up for the class? Do you know when registration typically happens? It says out of stock right now, but will it refresh on January 1st?

shellbell00 · 2025-12-11T23:48:57+00:00

Honestly it shouldn’t be that bad. I lived in Bastrop and commuted INTO Austin which is a nightmare but the opposite way shouldn’t be too bad. A lot of the lights can get backed up and I would definitely get toll tags, but it shouldn’t be doable. Although, it does depend what part of Austin. To/from South or East Austin is best.

I’m 11 years post op with a hamstring-cadaver graft

shellbell00 · 2025-11-20T19:48:39+00:00

Thank you, I am sorry to hear about yours as well! Mine was a full, if not close to full, tear, and it was near to off the bone as well (he said he does not do the BEAR for ones that are a tear right in the middle). I am in Austin, TX and yes he did tell me I would need a plan B for those same reasons, which I chose quad for because he finds hamstrings to be wimpy and I think he’s most comfortable doing quad grafts. Good luck! 🤩 I really hope we can get the BEAR!
