My ACL Tear :(

January 2, 2010...JV basketball game in Columbia Falls. I played well into the first quarter where I then went for a steal, and my right knee gave out on me, unfortunately tearing my anterior cruciate ligament. I'm #12 in the blue. Special thanks to the Griffith family for taping the game! Go Eagles :]

Thats good that you go it on video though, so you can make an effort to prevent it. I tore my acl playing volleyball. I was running and it just gave out. I had surgery 6 weeks ago. i was out for the entire school season and probably the travel. But tis been a year now for you so hopefully youre doing well :)

@mcvb4l5 Ugh I'm sorry to hear that...but I am doing great now! Playing college softball and no longer using a brace. Life is goood! Keep working on your therapy and get it all healed up :)

how do you feel now? cause I tore mine at wrestling practice 3 months ago

[kelseyluco12]

@hbkrules5 Better. I had surgery in September, so I'm pretty well healed now. :)

@Robby303 btw I was talking about AN ACL/MCL injury.

Usually it takes 2 years for a full recovery but I know people that went back on the court after a year with a special knee brace and a lot of therapy. It looks like Kelsey's foot got stuck to the deck causing her knee to buckle, pop, and tear. Hope you feel better now cute girl.

@popopop824, it depends on your surgery, doctor, and type of repair. i tore my acl, meniscus, and almost my mcl in football back in september, and i'm 3 1/2 months out of surgery and i'm jogging, lifting weights, and doing rope ladders with no brace, so i don't see why you couldn't swim @1998maddymoo, specially since it doesn't involve impact on the knee, but everybody's situation is different, so just play it by ear and see what ur doctor says

[popopop824]

@1998maddymoo no they wont let you.. i did mine in football im 3 months out of surgery right now and i cant even go ice skating.. there gunna make u wait 6 months

I tore mine wrestling with a friend on a lock in. he came down on my leg and he weighs like 250 and it hyper extended inward and the only way we could describe it was "my knee popped" lol.. but it still gives out sometimes and it increased to being torn in half. idk if i want surgery though, im afraid i will come out worse

Skip to 1.50 -.-

if i had surgery on the 11 and missed my half of season in volleyball and i want to do swimming in 3 months does anyone now if i could do this with a acl and menscous tear?
