SURGERY, not surgerie. I've had 3 surgeries on my right ACL(s) and you're good to go in full in 6-8 months usually if you do your rehab properly.

It depends on how badly you tore it. If it's really bad it may never be the same again, otherwise you'll probably be looking at 4-8 months for a normal recovery time, most likely toward the longer end. Just remember that it's better to take it easy too long than to mess it up again by being too active too early.

i had surgery on my acl and both the meniscuses in my left knee 6 weeks ago and this is the first week im really walking and can stand for extended periods of time. both the doctor and p.t. say that its 6-8 months for a full recover, and over a year to be truely back to normal

like surgery on your right ACL multiple times, or you are a mutant and have more than one acl in each knee?
cause multiple surgerys would suck, i had to get a laser scope on my menscus a couple months ago because it tore from a rugby mishap.
i tore my MCl at the same time but luckily it is the only ligament in the knee with enough blood flow that it will regrow without surgery as long as it is not ripped completely off the bone. so i dont need surgery i just need to take it easy for a long time and cant ski to my full potential next winter.

been there done that.
it took me about 8 months to get back fully, just do all the recovery and working out or else you'll be screwed and won't ski good.

like 3 surgeries on my right ACL (singular). One to clean out the area, cut off half of my ACL (cause I ripped it halfway) and then 2 weeks later I ripped it the rest of the way. Then Reconstruction and then a year later, a psuedo-reconstruction because it tore again.

i had my acl reconstructed nov 10th 2005, and right now my knee feels good, im working it out hardcore and i still get some pain on the front (they took a graft of my patella tendon) and thats normal they say. i was cleared to play football at the start of may (6 month point), although i felt i could have probably played a month or so earlier.
to be honest i cant even remember what its like to have a "normal" knee, and ive gotten used to the pain/stiffness, etc... that comes with the surgery

yup im a month out of mine, ACL complete tear, MCL complete tear, and 4 tears in meniscus. I can walk fine etc, and am in the gym all the time, only thing is stairs are still hard, and my double leg press is now half of my usual single leg press.

this is really rough. i had the acl/patellar tendon graft and my meniscus removed. that was june 8th, and they told me i wouldnt be skiing at all this year. right now im less than 4 weeks out of surgery and im walking on it fine without the brace. if i keep recovering like this not skiing will be a bitch. i guess doctor to doctor the recovery time varies.....they told me itd be a year before i could ski, but who knows. good luck to anyone who has it done...
rehab rehab rehab
only thing that will make it better

Man, I tore my ACL and meniscus too. I'm waiting to the the orthoscopic surgeon i think? Hopefully I get in to see him and have surgery soon. Fucking sucks.
I got one of those hella expensive braces though, not that I wear it often...anyone wanna give me an invite to the cult to?

i can't talk from experience, but my dad tore his acl playing rugby when he was younger, and for physio, he swam every day for a year in order to get it back to 100%. all i can suggest is that you stay active and do what you can to regain strength in your knee.

i had an ACL reconstruction on June 15 and haven't taken any pain killers because i've never felt like i needed them. i'm getting the functional full weight-bearing brace today and i can walk around and stuff pretty well...going down stairs is still kind of tough. i'm hoping to be skiing by the end of october, so about the 4 month mark.
All times are Eastern (-4)
