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.

Unfortunately, I've also found I've gotten into the old bad habit of playing careful with my surgical leg and am overloading the good leg more. This is a no no, and hopefully I'll get more confidence back into my leg and treat them equal!

Even though I'm 11 months post op and my new ACL should be rock solid, I'm still nervous while playing and won't make the aggressive D's if the cut is too hard. Hopefully this will go away with time.

Goals for the next month:
  • Make surgical leg bigger / badder / stronger
  • Treat both legs equally

ACL reproduction includes supplanting the torn
ACL tear with tissue taken from the patient (autograft) or taken from a tissue giver (allograft). This technique is generally done arthroscopically and includes making burrows in the femur and tibia permitting section of the join material so as to reproduce the ACL.
