@ahmadkhairul Yeah i just had mine 4 days ago, and im not feeling too much pain either... i noticed your comment was posted a year ago, how is it feeling now? i hope it turned out well, and my doc put me on partial, to full weight bare, so thats good i guess... maybe the reason why my knee hurts more is because i had to have meniscus repair as well.. but yeah hows your knee now?

Had my ACL replaced 9 weeks ago, everything is going well. Destroyed it in a skydiving incident three years ago. Have to wait one year before I can get back to skydiving and water skiing, but it's worth the wait. Older people who are active in sports can recover nicely, I'm 55.

the whole point behind ACL is pretty much for sportive or active people...if anything its the confidence that stops people from doing there sport after.

thats still what they do, i had mine reconstructed last week, same drilling and everything, just a different understanding on post surgery activities.

Tore my ACL and meniscus and had the surgery on June 2nd 2009. I used the graft from the patella tendon. I had my leg locked in a brace for 1 week and took pain medication for 3 1/2 days. The pain wasn't too bad...the beginning of day 4 is when there was very minimal pain...maybe just ibuprofen here and there. It's now a little more than 3 months post-op and my leg is getting stronger each day. I'm going to the gym everyday trying to make it stronger than it was pre-injury. PT IS IMPORTANT

there is no hospital stay, its out patient, takes 2-3 hours, youll get a cpm machine, i used mine almost 24 hours a day for the first week or so, dont plan on sleeping much, just a drug induced rest, its been two weeks and im off my crutches but still limping bad, by the way you wont be playing much of anything for 3+ months if your lucky, this was the worst thing that ever happened to me and ill never play baskeball again, fuck me

i just had my operation 2 days ago and im feeling not much pain . dr put me on partial weight bearing . why do diff people get diff weight bearing ??
If I wasn't white, and kept thinking I could dunk, they would have lasted longer... The surgery and the outcome each time was awesome, I just kept tearing them..

Dr. Frank Cook, Palm Beach Orthopedic in Jupiter, FL. He is one of the best, and has pioneered several techniques for knees. He has done 3 ACL's for me (all L Knee) and each was perfect until I tore them (too much BBall).
