Any tips or pointers from diagnosis through post-op stuff? Just got the bad news today on what I thought was only a minor knee sprain a few weeks back. Soccer injury. Just put my first summer in Utah on hold which sucks terribly. No camping or hiking. And obviously no soccer.
do the pre-hab if your doctor recommends it. you might not have to if you're already fairly athletic.
I did cadaver graft because it didn't make any sense to me to weaken my other tendons to fix my acl. Seems to have worked ok.
I only took pain pills when it was completely unbearable because I'm afraid of addiction... there were a couple days where I had to take them though.. mostly the first week or so after the surgery.
I did physical therapy 3x/week after I was back on my feet and eventually transitioned to a gym membership to save money and just kept going to the gym ever since.
my surgery was January 2014 and right now I'm in the best shape of my life. I still get knee pain from time to time but that's mostly because I'm so active now.

See bottom of Page 3, haha, this thread is from a few months ago, Just had the surgery yesterday, haha.
But thanks for the tips!
This is my plan already PT and gym as soon as I can handle it. 3x a week is what I want to gun for if they suggest it.
That's good to hear. It seems to be all over the place, some people feel as good or better. Some worse or never get rid of knee problems. Obviously I hope I'm the former.
