My soreness went away at around 8 months. Now, at almost a year and a half, a little scar is the only reminder of the new ACL. The only thing I feel occasionally is a big cold front with a...

There seems to be a lot of discussion on this point lately so what the hell, I'll add my two cents.

I had an allograft ACL with medial and lateral meniscus repair on 5/24/07. Dr. just trimmed up...

No overnight for me. In at 7:00 am for first surgery of the day, awake in recovery at 10:30, out the door by 11:00 and home by noon with Krystal chicks and mepergan!

I tore my ACL jumping and intend to continue jumping so I probably need to learn how to jump. Can I do this on my own or should I seek professional help. I did the PT thing and don't want to revisit....

Okay, I'll bite. Would this reeducation program involve anything different than gaining even and appropriate strength in the knee's supporting muslces? My hammies are and have always been strong and...

My PT told me that if you've torn one ACL, chances were good that you'd tear the other due to structural and mechanical issues that were present in both knees, especially for women. Any truth to this...

I felt the same way. When using the immobilzer, instead of bending my knee to move my foot forward, I swung my leg around using my hip. Hip got sore and I thought I was going to throw my back out....

My PT said if you've torn one it's likely you'll tear the other due to structural and mechanical issues that are present in both knees. Any thruth to that? Would tis question make a good new thread?

Dare I say I fell off my bed, and no I wasn't adjusting the camera.

I too love the happy Valium they give you right before they put you to sleep. Three surgeries since May, the third being last week, and I asked the nurse for some syringes to go but she wouldn't go...

I returned to work five days after surgery. Drove after four days - left knee, automatic. Actually, sitting in my car was the most comfortable since the car seat adjusts a million different ways so...

I had the same problem a few years - three hairline fractures across the top of my foot. Dr. put me in a soft shoe and told me it would take 6-8 weeks to heal. Foot was swollen and black/blue for...

I'm nearly 5 months post op and feeling pretty normal. I did the allograft thing and the surgery part was pretty easy. Used very little pain medication. I would rather feel uncomfortable than crazy,...

I have a CTii from Ossur. It's very lightweight and doesn't affect my ROM. Plus, it comes in a variety of fashion colors! I really don't notice it much.

I tore my ACL, lateral and medial meniscus, partially tore the MCL and had a compression fracture of my femur. Before the doc would do the ACL recon, I had to get the full range of motion back as...

Coming up on three months after allograft ACL/meniscectomy and the ortho and PT have told me to get lost - and to be careful for another three months. Going home tonight and am going to try to run -...

Be my guinea pig. Go ahead and let us know what happens.;)

Thanks for the feedback. I think I am an idiot! Glad that's not changed.

I love this forum! It's helped me get through my ACL recon surgery and PT the last several weeks. Thanks to everyone that posts here. Had ACL allograft and menisectomy on 5/24/07. Have been diligent...
