Strong Motivational Video: Triathlete recovering after MPFL knee surgery. Injury comeback story

On May 13, 2021, my girlfriend, Ana, an amateur triathlete, underwent 2 knee surgeries for MPFL ligament reconstruction.
This is her comeback motivation story ! A strong motivational video .
An example for all of us . A story of hard work and dedication. Day after day. 7 months of hard and painful recovery procedures. This is what it takes. This is the kind of motivation you need for coming back after an serious injury.
If you are practicing sports, MPFL is one of the worst types of knee injuries as the full recovery can last up to 1 year. Recovering after knee surgery is hard ! You forget how to walk, how to put one leg in front of the other. Your leg muscles get atrophied, with several centimeters less in diameter. It took her 7 months to be able to walk without limping.
A difficult journey from not being able to flex her left leg ... all the way back to outdoor sports and training for cycling races.
This video is my gift to her. It was such an inspiration to see her overcome all the difficulties and setbacks.
She is now ~80% recovered. She's back doing most of the activities that she enjoys so much: hiking in the mountains, road cycling, swimming, and even easy jogging in the park.
Never give up ! You just got to keep going! Have faith that on the other side of your pain something good is waiting.

To all the MPFL knee surgery recoverers.. I just want to assure you that u will be alright.. Im now 8 months post op i had my worst recovery experience as l could 'nt even do SLR(Straight leg raises) at least half an inch for 1 whole month.. I cried a lot and tried so much my Doctor told me i will not walk normally but one day tired after trying and crying i sat down and tried one last tym.. It worked guys, i mean i could raise my leg one inch from ground by my own !!! Then i gradually and slowly consistently i did and i recovered i can walk without gait.... Same with knee bending 10 weeks i had to walk woth knee brace as i couldn't bent my knee and once again my surgeon said i wont walk normally and i require another surgery to release the stiffness but i prayed tried soo much and after 10 weeks i could bent my knees completely.. So dont worry u will get through this... NEVER GIVE UP MOVE FORWARD ⏩⏩

Hey i just want to know after MPFL Reconstruction Surgery how many days did it take for you to achieve full knee bending. And was the process of knee bending very pain full ?

[@MySTREETvideos]

well, it took me almost 2 months for full rom. For the pain while bending, yes, it hurt, but in time it gets better. After 2 years I can say that there is no pain anymore in the knee... :) [Ana]

[@kalburgiajay4509]

Hey Actually it’s been post 3 weeks since my MPFL surgery. I am able to bend only 45 degree. At 46th degree i feel lot of stiffness and unbearable pain. And it makes me feel 45 degrees is the last bending that my knee can do.

[@MySTREETvideos]

trust the recovery process.. we know how hard it is but think on the long term when things get painful . All the best wishes !

[@vigneshj9703]

@@kalburgiajay4509hi how much you able to bend the knee now ?

[@reeeeeeeman8792]

How long does it take to be able to at least walk

[@MySTREETvideos]

it depends on each person recovery process. For her it took some months to be able to walk alone, without help and close to one and a half years if I remember correctly to be able to walk without any visible limping.

[@janakapushpakumara7827]

I dont think shes walking properly in the last clip? How is she now?

@@janakapushpakumara7827 all good now, thank you

Hi I’m jus done MPFL reconstruction how long it will take to bend the knee ? Im able to bend initially 20degree… kindly reply

[@MySTREETvideos]

it took her like 2 months to bend 100%, with daily recovery activity ...however it believe it depeds o each person . Anyway, get well soon, wishing you a fast recovery!

in brief: it was a dislocation of the patella aggravated by a running injury
