My ACL has been torn since 16 and it's staying that way. Fuck atrophied legs and 6 months of physical therapy and being essentially crippled.

i had acl, lcl, and it band torn.
recovery will probably take a while and you may not be able to bring your heel to butt anymore. just listen to your therapist and fight the pain.

The most painful part after the surgery is the therapy sessions. The massage at the end where they test your range of motion is killer. Besides that, it just sucks not being able to do anything physical with your legs for almost half a year. Not much advice to give really, you will go from being bed-ridden, to crutches, to a compression sleeve thing on your leg. At least that's how it was for me

This is me>>34701842
I'm probably different than others because of the extent of my injuries. Mine was from a motorcycle crash. I just remember pushing the morphine button as often as I could right after surgery. Spent 2 to 3 weeks in rehab and then a month on the couch, walking with a brace and cane. Once I started therapy I made a lot of improvement quickly, but I'm still recovering. I can finally bend my knee past 90 degrees if I force it.

Hang in there. How long has it been since your surgery and how much longer till you're projected to make a relatively full recovery I know it's never really the same, but when can you run, lift etc?

from the time of surgery doc said 6 months and ill be able to run again. not sure when i can lift again. i had a wrist injury too so i cant even do upper body. its been about 3 months. also, i lost 15 to 20 lbs mostly muscle. its pretty depressing. as far as a full recovery, like 100% of what i can be, doc said 2 years. ill be lifting before 1 year though.

How did you crash?
I ask because just bought a motorcycle.

On a fitness related note, how much did you weigh at the time of the incident?

i was going straight and a car making a left turn turned in front of me. so basically it was like hitting a brick wall. i dont actually remember it though, just read the police report.

i was 175-180 and dropped to 160.

like i said, you might not be able to bend it fully heel to butt, but i dont see why it would slow you down for running.
