Timing for an ACL surgery- Is it a good idea to have surgery 3 months before your wedding?
A question from Will; a question more people should ask themselves! Dear Brian, Hi! I would just like to say first of all that I have really enjoyed all of the information you have put together on your website. You write really well, the articles are informative and entertaining, and the material is clearly well […]
ACL rehabilitation month 6
July 23, 2012
As I talked about in ACL Rehab Month 5, in month 6 I took some time off. I took a break from any heavier lifting and intense running. I also went on vacation for 10 days to Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland. All I have to say about that is if you ever get a chance […]

Comments Off on ACL rehab month 5, and a temporary change in direction
Month 5 marked me running forward for the first time. This went pretty well. I was able to go a bit faster than a jog, but anything faster than that and my knee let me know it wasn’t ready. I had no issues after running. No flare ups, no lasting pain, etc. It’s just while […]

Comments Off on ACL rehab month 4
Month 4 marked the first time I have run!!! Albeit backwards and side to side. (Forward running starts in month 5.) Ironically enough, at least to me, running has been the easiest activity for me. But, shit if the strength work hasn’t been hard. It’s not that anything is painful really. Other than some occasional […]

Comments Off on Reconstructive ACL and meniscus repair physical therapy weeks 9-12 (month 3)
Rather than continue posting one week at a time, I decided I would post a few weeks in conjunction with one another. Weeks 9-12 mark the third month of rehab. Overall, other than consistently needing to achieve full knee extension the first 6 weeks or so, this has been a pretty smooth process. I’ve barely […]

ACL and meniscus repair rehab: Days 12-15

Comments Off on ACL and meniscus repair rehab: Days 12-15
This was originally supposed to be days 11-14, however, I wasn’t able to see my surgeon until day 12. Thus, this turned into days 12-15. Day 12 brought about some big changes in the rehab. Most noticeably the ability to BEND MY DAMN LEG! I had some x-rays taken to examine the reconstruction and make […]
