wow I went through this too...this wasn't as painful as the day after surgery...Everybody who had a torn ACL or had a surgery visit my channel and take a look on my 6 months after ACL surgery INSPIRATIONAL VIDEO I just finished.I hope at least 1 person reads this.Thumbs up so everybody can see it! Thank you
5 days after the surgery, i already got rid of the crutches and the brace, i walk like this guy does now , i feel lucky cause its been only 5 days after i got the surgery done...
man - I'm worried. 5 Days ago I had an ACL done with miniscus repair (bucket tairs) on both miniscal ligaments. Straight after op I could pretty mich get my knee flat. Now I can get it to extend to almost the same as my good leg. Also it bends to about 135 degrees.. already. I was able to bear weight a few hours after op and am finding crutches pretty pointless. I can walk around.. pretty slowly, but I can walk. Strange to be worried about a seemingly fast recovery. But this is immediate!
@JaguarEarlobe I had an ACL with a miniscus repair just like you did, I had mine done on friday and now being monday i've only just starting using crutches, the first day or 2 was painful for me to even walk on crutches. I guess it's just how your body reacts to these kinds of things.
@AProperNoob - I guess. I shouldn't speak too soon though... dont want to tempt fate. I called Doc about it and apparently the surgeon I had is renowned for his good work, a few people have called up about why they arent more disaabled after. Strange. Sounds like I was lucky. And free too - Good old NHS!!
Same surgery, body is responding the same as jos you describe. The progress that I've shown has been such a relief. This is my third day and I can slowly walk. My biggest problem is lifting my leg while on my back. It's all kinda exciting so far.
The rehab protocol when you have a mensicus repair or multiple ligament surgery is quite different. This patient had a straightup ACL only, bone patella tendon bone autograft.
@bergvalza its depends on the extent of someones injury like im on crutches for 3 weeks and have to use a wheelchair cos my injuries were quite severe, im 15 aswell
im not aloud to put any weight on for 3 weeks iv got crutches and a wheelchair iv had acl reconstruction and meniscus repair, my meniscus was the worst it torn in half and moved into a place in my knee where it wasnt ment to be, but iv already slipped up and landed on my knee it was very painful. its to my right knee also

@TheXavierLee dont worry dude, everyones different and depends on other factors such as meniscus damage and previous conditioning before the surgery.

flattening out of the knee was probably the worse pain during physical therapy... i was on crutches for only one week after surgery.

Why some people need to be on crutches for 3-4 weeks after surgery but this guy is walking on day 12?
