re: Torn ACL Surgery

I tore mine in ‘12. Although it hurt the instability of the knee is what freaked me out. I finally went to the ortho a month or two later and sure enough it was torn. I could do everything leading up to my appt with the exception of quick lateral movements. Didn’t do any rehab before the surgery.
As far as the surgery itself...it hurts like a mofo when the anesthesia wears off. My doctors concern was not being able straighten out my knee so I did a lot of prone hangs and similar exercises and those sucked big time.
I went into surgery on a Wednesday , by Monday I was back at work. The first 3 days were the worse, then you’ll be fine.
Good luck.
