My ACL Tear and Recovery

ACL Tears and Hamstrings: You Learn Something New Every Day

This ACL tear overview contains two key points I wish I had known before my operation:

  • NOT moving the knee post-surgery actually leads to more pain eventually. Just like the overview says, my knee got really stiff and painful from inactivity within a few days.
  • Although there are a few choices regarding procedure, my surgeon cheerfully informed me he was going with the “harvest your hamstring” option. Not a bad thing, but eight weeks later I’m just regaining full hamstring power now.

Two months down; eight or 10 to go!
