1 day after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) arthroscopy surgery. Soccer Injury.

hi guys. this is me at least 15 hours after acl surgery. i did the surgery at 5pm yesterday and started recording 8am the next day (which is today) 23/03/2011.
The aim of this video is to ease the concerns of those freaked out by the idea and would like to see some proper examples of mobility after having the surgery. Its better than listening to all those annoying freaked out people who make u stress & get u worried at how terrible its going to be during recovery.
Please note: everyone's condition and results are different, so will their recovery time/process. Please don't attempt these moves unless you are sure of urself. I am not a doctor or a trained professional in this field at all. just a regular guy with a can do attitude.

Now 4 days after my surg.(hamstring graft) 1 day later, i could left my leg up, 3 days later i can stand on it and today i walk without cruches. Still some numb spots on the leg under the kneecap. The pain was only very bad 1st night. Later i didnt took any panykillers. Dont ever choose pathella graft, its older method.

This video has helped the most. I was terrified about my surgery today and this really helped. I know its not going to be that easy to recover but I am farely healthly and I have very strong muscles in my legs prior to my injury. Thank you for posting a positive video about your recovery process.

there is no friggin way you could even lift your leg up. Took me 2 weeks at least to lift mine! and my friend took him a week and half.

It is impossible to make those movements the day after the acl surgery. and impossible to step on it!!

@Debilugaujos you and me both buddy lmao... he had the hamstring graft.. idk about you but i had the patella surgery which is the worst one so maybe you had the same thing... just try to walk on it and take your time while you walk n put a lil weight on it every time you step on it!! until you get therapy... good luck
