Andrew's ACL Injury, Surgery, and Recovery: 1 Year Post Op!
http://acl-r-us.blogspot.com/2010/04/1-year-post-op.html
Saturday, April 3, 2010. 1 Year Post Op! Since tearing my acl in Sept '08 and having it reconstructed in April '09 I've come to the following conclusions: Tearing your acl sucks, rehab blows, but getting through it all makes you appreciate being healthy and being able to play Ultimate Frisbee! At one year post op, I'm still not done with rehab, but I'm feeling (and playing) pretty damn good. A brief history since the injury:. After that, I was allowed to ditch both the crutches and immobilizer. 3-4 days ...

Andrew's ACL Injury, Surgery, and Recovery: Ditching the knee sleeve and playing too much
http://acl-r-us.blogspot.com/2009/10/ditching-knee-sleeve-and-playing-too.html
Monday, October 19, 2009. Ditching the knee sleeve and playing too much. I've also ditched the knee sleeve as it wouldn't protect me from tearing anything and it makes me aware of my weaker leg. Right now, treating my surgical leg different than my good leg is a bad idea as according to this study. Showed (and every other study I've read) there was no statistical difference in the outcome of acl reconstruction if you wear a brace or a sleeve. So my goals over the next month or two will be:. I love readin...

Wednesday, March 3, 2010. 11 Months Post Op! The recent (2 months ago) pain / swelling in knee is now gone. Although my left leg is still. Smaller than my good right leg, it is noticeably bigger than before. All the strengthening I've been doing for the past 2 months has paid off! I'm back to playing ultimate 2-3 times a week with no pain. Goals for the next month:. Make surgical leg bigger / badder / stronger. Treat both legs equally. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Andrew's ACL Injury, Surgery, and Recovery: 7 months Post Op
http://acl-r-us.blogspot.com/2009/11/7-months-post-op.html
Tuesday, November 3, 2009. 7 months Post Op. Over the past month since being given the go-ahead for sports, I've been playing 2 days of Ultimate a week 2 days of personal training (30 mins of pure torture for my legs). Overall, the knee has constantly been improving, I have more confidence in my leg, and with the intense PT sessions my muscle strength is coming close to matching my good leg. I still have skin numbness below the kneecap on the outer size and about the size of tennis ball. If it's gett...

My Life’s TO-DO List. You can check out my blog at My ACL Recovery Journey. One comment on “ ACL Recovery Journey. July 12, 2012 at 4:31 am. This is a great story! I am a 16 year old girl, and tore my ACL playing soccer in september, and was cleared for practice at the end of april. At my fourth practice back, I cut to the left and tore my ACL yet again in the same knee. I am 7 weeks into the surgery, and I decided to blog about it this time! It would be awesome if you could, but if not, thats okay too!

Andrew's ACL Injury, Surgery, and Recovery: 10 months Post Op!
http://acl-r-us.blogspot.com/2010/02/10-months-post-op.html
Thursday, February 4, 2010. 10 months Post Op! Over the past month I've been slightly out of commission for ultimate as I re-work my inner quad and IT band. On Tuesday I was able to play a game without any pain and no extra swelling. I've been doing 3 exercises every morning (wall squat hold for 30 seconds x 5, reverse lunge hold x 10, IT stretch with foam roller). I can feel quite a big difference in my inner quad now than before. Although it is still smaller than my good leg. Goal for the next month:.

Andrew's ACL Injury, Surgery, and Recovery: 2 years post op!
http://acl-r-us.blogspot.com/2011/04/2-years-post-op.html
Sunday, April 3, 2011. 2 years post op! 2 years down, none more to go! It's been 2 years since my ACL reconstruction surgery, and I'd say mission accomplished! I'm back to 100% (knock on wood) and feeling good about my leg. The past year I've been playing ultimate frisbee 3 nights a week and 1 night of personal training. I feel I still need PT to keep all the muscles in my legs/knee strong. The workouts target both legs (no preference for the acl leg). Some various events in the past year:. Nice to see y...
