71Commander Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Had surgery a few days ago. Right now I'd give anything just to straighten out my leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Tore my ACL in 2007, two years before I shot my first USPSA match at 39 years old. Also tore my articulate cartilage in the same wakeboarding incident. Basically took me a year to walk without a limp. Dr told me not to run for my primary cardio exercise to put off having a knee replacement as long as possible. I can walk without pain, which is my number 1 goal. You will get there and if you have the resources for some Pro level PT, you might do a lot better than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgl503 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Tore my acl, mcl, and meniscus in one shot playing football back in 2014. Knee popped out and all. It was pretty bad. Took a year before I could run again. Never felt the same for me but I still try to stay active. Make sure to get good physical therapy and try to stick with it.

You do know that PT stands for "Pain and Torture," don't you? (I've had PT for more injuries than I can count!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGoodwin Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 PT actually stands for Party Time! Most rehab processes take 6 months for full return to sport. Depending on your level of competition, you may be able to return sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
