How I Went From Torn ACL to Flipping Again

[@JimFeig]

I tore mine twice in Highschool it is not fun. Mine swelled up quickly and when the doctor examined me he thought it was the ACL and they sent me to the right doctor and they sent me to get an MRI. It was really painful after having it fixed the first time. Physical therapy is important to rebuild the muscles that will prevent it from tearing again. I already had broken a femur so leg recovery was already familiar to me.

wow what a journey! Glad to hear you had a good medical team. How’s your leg doing these days? Are you able to stay active despite the past injuries?

@@darrintumbles4557 Yeah I was still in high school/ middle school for the femur. Never bothered to get it fixed the second time I just wore a brace instead.

@@darrintumbles4557 turns out mine was a genetic abnormality with how my bones grew and it put too much pressure on the one ligament 🙃 they had to saw my tibia in half and remove a wedge and in 6 months they have to go in AGAIN and fix my ACL A THIRD TIME

I’m glad you have some clarity now as to what was causing it. You know what they say, third time is the charm! I hope you have a smooth and speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹
