Make sure that when you get back to bending your knee that you roll your muscles. It breaks up all of the scar tissue that will build up and is very important.

My orthopedist finally explained the WHY a couple of years ago (I just had rotator cuff surgery). Inside the scarring inside your knee is an air sac (very small) and the barometric pressure affects the air within that sac.

I think that somewhere around your early 30's your body says...yeah you know all that crap I did for you when you were 18....I am done.

I was 17 when I had my knee surgery. My mom was in the room when they took out that needle. She didn't make it very long... had to leave before she puked.
I cleared out the entire waiting room....not by puking by saying SSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!

Your muscle fibers in your quad will become inter-twined from lack of use. After surgery you won't have much of a quad muscle they will work with you on building your quad back up.
Rolling out your leg muscles will help in recovery. It breaks up your muscle fibers hurts like hell but will feel good after. Some runners use these rollers after workout or long runs. You'll see it after a few weeks of rehab.
I also tore mine at 33
Must be the ripe age for acl's to blow

Well I was walking fine. It's been getting better, and it's felt pretty stable all the way through. And the urgent care physician, yeah I know he isn't a specialist, gave at least a positive reaction to that. Saw him the day after it happened too.
I was told to revisit in 4-5 weeks, this is week 5. And the only thing going on are some tightness and soreness. Nothing major.

Oh and thanks folks. Super helpful all around.
I'm pretty bummed about it. Not the end of the world or anything, but still. I'm fairly active and now will have this always lingering. Sucks.

A little but just wait until you start tearing up & breaking other parts.....this is only the beginning

Haven't been the same since it does suck and is shitty. I lead a pretty active lifestyle and most likely won't be the same. But every surgery is different go in w a good attitude and do your PT listen to them and you'll be back if I wouldn't have had Patella issues I would have been playing sports 8-10 months later.

The meniscus does not really add any rehab time to it. It is still going to take 5-7 months. Dr. Bankston used my hamstring and did the meniscus repair. I stayed in the movement machine pretty much 24/7 with ice on it for a few days. If you take PT seriously it will cut down on rehab time. I was running in about 5 months but waited till month 6 or 7 to start playing sports again.

Tore my ACL, cartilage and fractured my leg simultaneously when I was 15 (21 years ago, soccer as well) and it essentially ended my athletic endeavors. Not that I was any good anyway. I know they have come a long way since then but focus extremely hard on the post op PT. I never got the same strength back and I've had issues with my knee ever since. Nothing significant enough for more surgery but it will always be a problem for me. I was too young to understand the importance of PT.

I've had allograft on both left and right knees. They are both torn again. Don't do what I did. Perform the therapy religiously and don't get back to cutting sports to quickly. I'm not getting them fixed again. I just don't do any lateral movement sports. I can still run and lift .

Collins...that sucks. My buddy had the hamstring then patella, don't know what he will do if it happens again.
