Hey, My name is Serena(: Im 15 years old and I just got surgery too. I tore my Medial Meniscus in Half and on the MRI it just showed my ACL was strained. But when they did the surgery they saw my ACL was completely torn. I got my first surgery for my Meniscus about 3 weeks ago. They didn't do the ACL surgery on the same day because my knee was too stiff. i can walk on my leg but i cant straighten or bend it all the way. They want me to go through therapy for 6 weeks then do the ACL surgery.

Thank you for sharing your your experience with us. My 16 year old daughter tore her ACL,, PCL and her meniscus two weeks ago in a volleyball tournament. Needless to say she too is going in for surgery Easter break. As a parent you wish the injury could happen to you, but as brave as you girls are, I think you will heal much better than us old farts:-). We will keep you in our prayers for a full and speedy recovery and I hope you are back better that ever real soon! God Bless.....

@crazygrl244 I got my surgery on February 2nd. So almost 4 weeks. :/ when i first got injured we waited like 2 months to get my MRI because the doctor thought it was just a sprain. I never moved it because it hurt, so I kept it in a slightly bent position for like 3 months. So i dont know if that has anything to do with it. Im hoping it will heal and ill be back to sports. (: How is yours healing?

[crazygrl244]

@LOLSerena well how long has it been since you had your surgery? and it takes a while to heal so don't worry you'll eventually be able to bend it :)

[LOLSerena]

I dont know why i cant bend or straighten my knee all the way. I feel like its not getting better. How did you recover? How long were you stiff, if you were stiff? I would love to hear your answers. Thanks, Serena!

@TheMinnieMouseMe yes! :)
