I'M GETTING ACL SURGERY AFTER WAITING 8.5 YEARS!!

[@kimberleedirkson7120]

I called it a "tweak" when my knee did that. Pain is so similar to when my ACL first popped, it's very scary when it happens. Over 3 years since my original incident, nearly one month post op (Nov 4th!). good luck in the rehab process. I know you'll crush it. So far the worst part for me is the dreaded "starting over" mentality. But already a few weeks of rehab behind me, every day adds a brick to my walk.

Thank you for the kind words, glad to hear you're slowly getting better!

Thanks Jill Maree!!

I’m chasing getting my ACL fixed now too, it’s buckled more and more this year and while I’m carrying my little girl too, it’s very scary sometimes that I could hurt her just because the army never fixed it properly.

I can relate

[@mikemeyer5973]

Just had my second reconstruction in my left knee lol! They used a graft from my hamstring this time. Starting my recovery process now

[@fenixxx56]

What type of acl reconstruction graft did you end up choosing?

[@phunni]

Good luck!! From one ACL surgery survivor, you’ll make it! :) thanks for sharing and looking forward to the recovery process for you.

yes how are u doing now man, playing bball ?

[@sachins4686]

Hello sir! Even i had a minor ACL TEAR on my left knee almost 9months back, i have been also following u on instagram from past months, it helped me a lot! After almost 6months of rehab i can move strongly! I play cricket and i am fast bowler and fast bowling always puts pressure on the knee. So is it good if i continue the sport with strong quads and hams with minor ACL TEAR?

[@rogercruz7236]

I’m actually in the same position, I waited 7 years I’m getting surgery on Friday and I’m really nervous cause I can run jump have good movement. Im just afraid I won’t be able to do all Of that anymore. Any tips how to calm the nerves. I set my mind that I’m not gonna rest for four weeks I’m going straight back to work on Monday and hopefully push my self to start walking.

[@amoreazione3563]

Hey Roger, may I ask you how it went? Did you regain full strength?

[@nishitdronographer718]

The acl graft gets weaker after 5 years progressively especially hamstrings screw fixed ones tc

[@christygrimes7904]

What do we think of allograft for 16 year old male that plays competitive basketball--complete ACL tear.

[@adnanbandey5450]

Hey! what's your opinion on peronous tendon graft?

[@deenial218]

What procedure did you end up getting I am on ACL number two on second leg and have found ur videos very interesting from your perspective. I ask on what graft you chose due to ur ability to tolerate pain early as I have struggled with both of mine with early healing and ability to weight bare. I got th quad tendon graft which I know is painful but seems like I'm much behind ur timelines

[@Prim3Pursuits]

Hey Wesley! Thank you so much for sharing, it's really reassuring the way you talk about it. I will be having an ACL surgery and meniscus repair at the beginning of Oct.

[@amoreazione3563]

Is it better?

[@Prim3Pursuits]

@@amoreazione3563 Yea I had my surgery 2 years ago and it's back to normal now, a little bit of stiffness when I do heavy exercises but way better than not doing it. Good luck and take care if you are going through the same thing.

[@amoreazione3563]

@@Prim3Pursuits first off, thank you for taking the time to answer me. I have surgery due in 12 days. How long did it take you to get back to walk properly after surgery? and by that I mean without limping. Thank you again :)

[@jodadacidabi7508]

Hey Wesley! I tore my acl over 2 years now and i didnt get a surgery because after my left knee stopped swelling i was able to move but sometimes it would buckle on me and it would hurt is it a good idea to get a surgery? Because i want to move like how i use to or close. Pls let me know thanks

[@aaronrubio2397]

Wht happened to your knee? Is it like sliding or what? Because mine is sliding

[@christopherstone3504]

How's the recovery going

[@sylvam3521]

Was you initial injury a contact or non contact injury?

[@abhinavkumarsingh2496]

Hello sir, I just watched your video. I am 29 years old from India And having the same problem with acl injury and medial meniscus wear nd tear. This injury is about 10years old. Dealing with the pain and going for the surgery right now. Is it good to go for having the surgery and how long will it take to be back on my daily routine?

[@amansinghmtr2675]

Have you done your surgery now?

[@kubramuratdagi4395]

hello when I saw this video, I am very happy. It would be good if you share your steps and experiences with us. I am also a physical therapist and would love to benefit from your experience. It would be very good for us colleagues who follow you from other countries if only subtitles and spoken language are plain and easier. Thank you in advance.

[@jayallen11]

Big fan of your work Wesley. Good luck! You’ll do great! As you know, it’s a long, but rewarding journey. Thank you for always providing us with informational acl content 🙏🏽

[@wesleywangptdpt1068]

thank you for the kind words!!

[@powdayyy]

Good luck Wesley! I’ve been living with a full ACL tear in my L knee for over 10 years...after having the ACLR a couple years before. I’ve been thinking about having mine done again...this news helps inspire me to make that decision.
