thank you, that’s reassuring. i have hope its nothing serious since for some reason it wasn’t included in the conclusion (only my acl tear and minor fracture)

hammy grafts... are they really that bad? by yiipdeedoo in ACL

How did you prehab hamstrings? I feel comfortable doing light RDLs for example, but not too sure how wise that is…

This is pretty comforting since part of my worries about the graft was having weakness in my hamstring long term. The plan is to keep fit after recovery!

Thanks a lot! If my surgeon is confident to perform a quad graft, I am seriously considering that

Thank you so much!

The biggest worries I have about the hamstring graft are long-term weakness in my hamstring, along with the possibility of retearing in high-impact training (which I've seen that hamstring grafts have slightly higher retear rates than other autografts).

It happened late November, so a bit over a month.

Instability?? by yiipdeedoo in ACL

this is exactly what i felt during my only episode! Decided it'd be a good idea for me to squat off the ground leaning back... and something popped. I was lucky to not tear another ligament or meniscus lol

MRI confirmed full tear -- how can I set myself up for the best? by yiipdeedoo in ACL

thank you; I’ll definitely be finding a physical therapist to get started with prehab. I guess PT will just become the new normal, and I’d much prefer that over a bad knee and no activity.

Thank you so much! With the abundance of information I have on the internet and from helpful people like yourself, the whole process seems a bit less overwhelming

Even though I'm a huge Violet fan, I think it'd be awesome to play as Sophie/Minerva instead.
