Thank you for this video, I’m Day 6 after ACL surgery and its a struggle, physically and mentally. I’m so bored and it’s hard to stay positive, but good to see your journey and that it’ll get better.
I'm day 14, just took off my bandages and I'm struggling with physio. My stitches are drying up and it feels like my stitches are going to tear when I try bending. Should I continue as normal as when I had bandages and the stitches weren't "dry"?
Going through my second ACL reconstruction (also other leg) and I couldn’t relate to anything more than this. The mood shifts from positivity to anger to negativity, mixed with workouts on my other extremities. Appreciate the workout ideals
Two weeks after ACL and meniscus repair surgery, quad tendon graft. So far so much better but those first few days were the hardest thing ever! For anyone reading be patient time will go by fast!!
Hey Delilah! Hope you’re doing well, just wanted to say how refreshing it is to hear another athlete deal with the struggle of going thru an ACL injury & recovery. It’s been some of the darkest points in my life but I continue to look at it with a positive mindset. I could relate to most of the stuff you were talking about too, so just thought you deserved to hear this🙏💯
You are doing great Delilah.. it really takes strength to manage yourself twice through such a traumatic injury. I understand how it feels for a sporty person to keep watch on every step of themselves to recover from Injury.
Thanks for this video. I'm currently three weeks post OP on my second ACL + meniskus repair (also the other leg) and this video gives me some currage to get through with it. It's though comparing it to the first recovery. This time I have to walk 6 weeks on crutches in total until I am finally allowed to put some more weight on the injured knee. As a person that is quite active it's been hard to reduce workouts and the mental battle of staying inside while life goes on outside is difficult.
Ha..... Try have a complete ACL, MCL AND MENISCUS RUPTURE. Thanks for the video. I'm 3 weeks post op and only now starting to feel normal again. I've broken many bones in my body and gone through a lot of rehab. This is by far the worst thing I've ever had to deal with. Stay healthy ppl. Positive mind and healthy bodies.
@@chadoliver23 Hey there - sorry to hear. My physio has kept my bend at 40 degrees max for 6 weeks. I'm braced and straight until the 6 week mark. They said the most important is not to strain the MCL and keep the ACL straight. I'm in week 6 now and it's feeling a lot better, starting to load bear now only. GOOD LUCK
I feel you there, I completely tore my ACL, PCL, and LCL, 14 weeks post op and I can bend at 117 but and haven’t gotten fully straight but trying to stay positive
I've never related harder to anything ever -- "I thought a change of scenery would make me less angry and it didn't." About to go into an ACL reconstruction/meniscus transplant, less than a year after a hip labrum repair, so just know you're not alone in the repetitive injuries :)
I need to go and get mine done. I had an ACL recon in 2004 and I've stretched it and it hurts since 2020. But I'm so scared of operations I've been hoping it would get better but it really hasn't. Need to just face facts and get the op done. But thank you for the upbeat positive video. Makes me motivated just to face my fear and get over this nightmare that I've lived with for the past 4 years.
Best wishes for a full recovery! Full, not fast. Play the long game and listen to the PT! My wife Marijke is a career orthopedic specialist PT, we have sooo many friends who didn't listen and fucked up their recovery and added time to the process, in some cases they didn't recover fully. Two ears and one mouth for a reason, listen to your body and your therapist! Best wishes
@@hahaharden2506 thanks for asking! Doing pretty good. No pain and trying to get more strenght by the day. Mobility is still only like 90 deg. Max, but I think it’s ok for 2,5 weeks post surgery. It also depends on the swelling level. Unfortunately due to meniscus repair I have to use cruches for 4 weeks total after which I can really start walking.
@@Ronk3li ohh same surgery so I wanna learn your progress going how¿ and I think it looks very well. I am in the 4th day of after post op and i have some pain exactly.. what do you recommend for me for first two weeks¿?
@@hahaharden2506 Ok good! So the worst pain will be going away soon. I’m no expert and can talk only with my 3 week post-op experience. First week I was pretty much just resting, doing ice/cold treatment, keeping leg up, ankle pumping (to get the blood flowing) and trying to get the quad firing, also straight leg raises. Thats all I did the 2nd week as well before my physio meeting 2 weeks post op. Then I got my stiches taken away and some new excercises. I really didn’t do too much excercises but now later on I think I should pick up the pace by a little. But during 2 first weeks for you I wouldn’t be too worried about what to do. Just rest and try to get blood flowing and swelling down 👍 It’s not a sprint but a marathon! :)
Thank you for sharing I recently ACL reconstruction surgery and I started walking on day three right now. It’s been a rocky road mental health has gone downhill but honestly at the end of this journey, I know it’ll be all worth it
Hi , I just had mine and it’s day 5 and I am waking but not great . I started exercises etc but not feeling 100% very board and very lost on what to do. When did you get back to normality ?! Thank you 👍🩼🩼
Around the same time you posted your first ACL vid, I destroyed my MCL getting launched across a major boulevard on my gravel bike. The rad vibes you bring to your videos and having a similar recovery timeline helped me get back in the saddle stronger than ever. Hang in there Dell, you'll be chasing KOMs soon enough 🤠 Keep bringing the good vibes!!
I'm on the same boat as you girl I tore my acl and my meniscus and fractured two bones I already had surgery I'm on my second day after surgery too And I got injured skiing aswell let's both get through this
Broke my fibula and tore my acl back in November. Had a plate and screws put in my ankle, and they didn’t find out about my acl til late January. Still can’t walk from the ankle surgery but hope to have the acl done in a couple months 😅 thanks for the video!
Watching this video and I feel intimidated like my recovery is slow. I'm 2 weeks post op and struggling to bear weight and flexion of my knee feels limited with my bandages off and my stitches drier.
My 15 yo daughter just tore her acl at soccer. Hope you can be an inspiration to her. She is in her jr year in hs and hoping she can get back in the field next summer.
I'm 40, first ACL reconstruction about 2 weeks ago. I expected worse, staying active. Def way more bruising than you, you looked great. Probably because I'm getting old haha. Hope both of your knees are holding up well.
I'm on week 3 and so wish I would have seen this early on! I had so little idea of what to expect. Also, that trash bag idea looked way easier than my seran wrap method 😂
Im on Day 6 after quad graft ACL surgery and I am not able to do any of those leg exercises that you could 😭 so freakin impressive wow, all i can do is bend 15°
I’m 2 weeks post acl reconstruction and I am less recovered than u were on day 2 still can’t walk without crutches or raise my leg straight up unassisted
You must get up and try exercising ! I’m day 5 post opp and been doing my knee stretching and just walking in the garden and trying my hardest to keep busy
Been stuck in on my own, week 7, glad to have come across your vid. I knew the physical side was gonna be tough, did not expect the mental aspect. Thanks for sharing, ha would love any insight on not tearing my other leg. Tore this one landing bolts though so I’m not sure what else to do ha
don't do anything cool on skis until your surgery side is actually for real 90%+ strength matched to the other side or you'll be compensating without realizing it.. trigger warning its not that chill to get your strength up to 90%+ in a timely manner lolz maybe someday I will make a completely unqualified ACL reco advice main takeaways for skiers video
Nice video! I just got my ACL reconstructed using my quadriceps autograft and both medial and lateral meniscus repaired and my first week was terrible lol I’m like 10 days in right now and doing better for sure but don’t think I’ll be going back to volleyball lol
I did an ACL and Meniscus surgery 7 weeks ago. A patellar graft. After the surgwry, i had to keep my foot straight for 4 weeks. The doctors told me to start bending at home now. The stiffness is literally INSANE. No pain, but just uncomfortable. What should I do??
Its really unsafe not wearing the brace during excersies. Especially on the first 2-3 weeks. Your leg should be in a straight position. You almost fell which would have mean another surgery... So anybody watching this after an ACl repair, be patient and dont rush the recovery.
How are you today? I tore my Acl and meniscus. Do you have your range and motion back what’s your pain level after such an evasive surgery?. I’m so nervous about my up coming surgery. I don’t deal with pain well.
I'm on day 4 and it is still so painful to get up and go to the bathroom. Even just laying down elevating my leg hurts sometimes. Also I think the cold water pump is getting my bandages wet. This sucks.
Thanks for sharing. I just had an ACL surgery to and want to know based on your experience, when I can sit on chair after the surgery so that I can work (using compter for hours) in a more comfortable gesture?
Great to see your content. I'm about to have my acl and meniscus surgery so the insight into your experience is helping me gear up for whats 3 weeks down the road for me. What would you say is something you forget to prep for in preparation for the surgery?
Hey, hope this isn't too late but just had ACL surgery myself. Buy a few things: some sort of cushion for elevating your leg, nylon wraps for the handles of your braces (stops your hands and wrists hurting as much when you're on them), and a plastic sleeve thing for showering. You can cover your dressings with cling film but it's not as easy and gets annoying really fast. Finally, if you have family or friends that live in a more accessible house (e.g. a bungalow) stay with them post-op. I stayed at a bungalow for 5 days and wish I could have stayed 10 days really. Stairs are fine- if a little slow- but carrying things up and down is a hassle when you forget things. Recommend having an empty backpack for holding things as you go up and down them. Finally stay strong through the rehab- it's a novelty for a bit but after a couple of weeks it's dead boring. Just hang in there and trust the process. Good luck pal!
@@UltraMegaSandwich thank you! Currently in day 3 of recovery and in and out of sleep but I feel like watching your videos as well as other youtubers helped me prepare for what was in store. From what I gather days 3 - 6 could be the worst so planning on sleeping through as much as possible . :) Thanks for reply
I had my btb acl reconstruction in Nov 22. I had a cyclops lesion via knee anthroscopy that needed to be taken out 4 days ago so I'm back to basics with trying to get full leg extension but I have 90 degree bend.
I can totally relate your feelings because I also had an ACL SURGERY of my left knee 4 months ago I know how its pain before surgery and how loneliness its feel... But don't worry god is just checking our strength because he will gona give us something big in our life... Just don't giveup I am with you ❤❤❤ And please post the video regularly...... Love Your subscriber 😊
hey! I’m one and a half weeks post op now. At any point did you have any worry that you may have been putting too much pressure on the leg? My knee buckled a few days back and I’ve been worrying ever since that I’ve somehow messed the surgery up. Finding this video has been so comforting by the way
Oooh yeah always worried I put too much pressure on the leg. It’s so hard to know at first because it feels so whack all the time. But if you are more than a week out of ACL reconstruction only (no meniscus or other fixes) you should be good to go with putting full weight on it, it just won’t feel right for another week or so. But warning you will be worrying that you messed the surgery up every time you do anything remotely uncomfortable for months to come lol
Did you have any swelling issues, on day 8 and my foot and ankle is so swole and it hurts so bad. Im doing sll the ice and elevation but its still swole
I'm too scared of this ACl tear because study says that once we get tear our injured leg Acl there is A most likely chance to get tear another opposite leg too, so did it happen in a same way to you😢? I'm going to have an Acl surgery end of this month going through mental stress and scary 😢
Which graft did you use for your ACL reconstruction BTB or Hamstring or Quadricep .......? I am gonna have ACL surgery soon and I'm still thinking which graft to go with as various Doctors gave me various suggestions.
My first surgery recovery was way slower and more painful - I have a video on that one too in ACL #1. The second one in a row was just way easier from muscle memory
On my first surgery (other side) yes for sure - see video timestamped here: ruclips.net/video/nkZ4LiFFS_I/видео.htmlsi=upaeelZWjeIHiaVm&t=197 I was worried blood clot but turns out the surgery cut just went across a nerve and fricked it up a little bit. the numbness went away after about a year
Are you seeing a PT or are you your own best PT at this point? Not sure if this is top percentile in terms of recovery time, but it infinitely better than my experience - after 1 wk I was barely able to get out of bed... Best of luck and stay strong.
I saw a PT for the first time at 13 days post-op (the day after this video was filmed) and am still seeing them once a week but am progressing what exercises I am doing on my own between sessions.. so a little bit of both at this point. Thank you, best of luck to you too!!
Coming from a different approach, I understand it's a personal inconvenience, not just mobile wise.. but being forced to rest.. so i hope you don't get too metally bored! That might be a bigger issue.. haha..
Nice. @ least you mixed it up with both knees. Me being a glutton for punishment I’ve had 5 in my left. My last one never healed right. Knee looks like Swiss cheese. It’ll never be even close to 80%. Ride in fear 100% of the time. Ended my racing career.
Im 3 weeks 1 day post surgery, first 5 days hurt like a bitch i had my right knee done 6 years ago when I was 16 that took like 10 months to recover but this one is like rapid recovery
Thank you for this video, I’m Day 6 after ACL surgery and its a struggle, physically and mentally. I’m so bored and it’s hard to stay positive, but good to see your journey and that it’ll get better.
Same also,iam now 5 days just,at night sleep can't come,its very painful😢😢
Yeah exactly the same.. it's my fifth day too
How are doing now?all ok ?
I'm day 14, just took off my bandages and I'm struggling with physio. My stitches are drying up and it feels like my stitches are going to tear when I try bending. Should I continue as normal as when I had bandages and the stitches weren't "dry"?
Hi, how r u now? Update plz
Going through my second ACL reconstruction (also other leg) and I couldn’t relate to anything more than this. The mood shifts from positivity to anger to negativity, mixed with workouts on my other extremities. Appreciate the workout ideals
I’m on day 20 of my ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair. Really appreciate your videos they helped me very much
Two weeks after ACL and meniscus repair surgery, quad tendon graft. So far so much better but those first few days were the hardest thing ever! For anyone reading be patient time will go by fast!!
I torn my acl at the end of last month and I am getting ready to start the pre therapy before surgery next month.

2nd time tearing the same one and 1 month out from surgery. It’s getting better. Enjoyed the video
From did they had your graft as they might have had the hamstring graft for the first surgery..??
On second time did you feel same pain intensity like first time when it get repaired on same leg
Just had my acl surgery keep up the good work.
Got my second acl sugery 3 weeks ago its crazy how similar so many other people experiences are
Yoo im 14 days post op sencond acl tear and seeing this is getting me motivated thanks

Wow that sounds like a hectic crash 😬 Glad to hear you’re back in action. Thank you!!
I'm on the same boat as you girl I tore my acl and my meniscus and fractured two bones I already had surgery I'm on my second day after surgery too
And I got injured skiing aswell let's both get through this
thanks for the motivating video. I am 14 days post OP and still having difficult nights, but things are improving.
Hope you're doing well, I'm 5 days before my ACL surgery hoping for best. Thank you for sharing
Lovely video to watch when you have an acl reconstruction lately same energy day 11
Broke my fibula and tore my acl back in November. Had a plate and screws put in my ankle, and they didn’t find out about my acl til late January. Still can’t walk from the ankle surgery but hope to have the acl done in a couple months 😅 thanks for the video!
I’ll be having #2 opposite leg as well. In a month… Looking at other videos bracing myself for the next one.
It’s the boredom I’m afraid of!
My solution for anti boredom was becoming obsessed with online shopping for wedding guest dresses and home decor lol
@@DelilahCupp sounds like a great solution!
Watching this video and I feel intimidated like my recovery is slow. I'm 2 weeks post op and struggling to bear weight and flexion of my knee feels limited with my bandages off and my stitches drier.
my first surgery side was a way slower initial recovery! see ACL #1 playlist - I was not walking for over 2 weeks post op
speedy recovery you got this
this content is very touching
Day 4 after surgery and I’m ready to start running haha. Day by day… love your vlog!
My 2nd day of acl reconstruction. 😭
My 15 yo daughter just tore her acl at soccer. Hope you can be an inspiration to her. She is in her jr year in hs and hoping she can get back in the field next summer.
That's so unlucky to tear the other one... Well wishes on your recovery! You got this :D
It's stupidity, skiing after the surgery
@@ludmilagorbunova4228 i guess she know what she wants 👍
very informative, My surgery is monday..your abs are OUTSTANDING!!

My first recovery was more like this - I have a video on that one too for ACL #1
I just had my surgery a week ago and I still feel like the first day😢 I didn’t take my brace not even when I was in bed and I was in such a bad pain😢
You must get up and try exercising ! I’m day 5 post opp and been doing my knee stretching and just walking in the garden and trying my hardest to keep busy
im on 21 day PO .. only 70 degrees flexion. this is depressing. it feels like my recovery is slow.
Thanks for the video. Me going in a month now but still I can't properly bend my knee after my right knee ACL reconstruction.

Hi whilst here, did you do a meniscus repair or is it only ACL?
很快就会好的，正好趁现在休息一下 加油鼓励看好你，一天更比一天强！

Why do you risk it like that?With skiing?
so how long each recovery/rehab lasted? at least 6, 7 months?
U R My HERO
I can totally relate your feelings because I also had an ACL SURGERY of my left knee 4 months ago
I know how its pain before surgery and how loneliness its feel...
But don't worry god is just checking our strength because he will gona give us something big in our life... Just don't giveup

Damn girl who are you ? You’re just awesome attitude awesome mindset wow I wish I was like you
Which graft did you use for your ACL reconstruction
BTB or Hamstring or Quadricep .......?
I am gonna have ACL surgery soon and I'm still thinking which graft to go with as various Doctors gave me various suggestions.
I used hamstring!
How are u able to workout by day 7 or just even move that much? I’m on day 6 PO and I can barely get up to go to the bathroom my shin hurts so much
My first surgery recovery was way slower and more painful - I have a video on that one too in ACL #1. The second one in a row was just way easier from muscle memory
Internal brace surgery or normal screw one??
kinda silly to be doing a spinning jump landing after prior ACL injury and reconstruction. Are you trying to get hurt???
How did you get tare you another leg Acl?
Yoo
Did you feel any numbness on your anterior aspect of ur leg also your on the shin bone !?!
On my first surgery (other side) yes for sure - see video timestamped here: ruclips.net/video/nkZ4LiFFS_I/видео.htmlsi=upaeelZWjeIHiaVm&t=197 I was worried blood clot but turns out the surgery cut just went across a nerve and fricked it up a little bit. the numbness went away after about a year
Are you seeing a PT or are you your own best PT at this point? Not sure if this is top percentile in terms of recovery time, but it infinitely better than my experience - after 1 wk I was barely able to get out of bed... Best of luck and stay strong.
I saw a PT for the first time at 13 days post-op (the day after this video was filmed) and am still seeing them once a week but am progressing what exercises I am doing on my own between sessions.. so a little bit of both at this point. Thank you, best of luck to you too!!
how much pain were u in
Coming from a different approach, I understand it's a personal inconvenience, not just mobile wise.. but being forced to rest.. so i hope you don't get too metally bored! That might be a bigger issue.. haha..
My doc asked me to not put zero weight on the operated leg until 2 weeks sucks so much lmao
I feel that. I couldn't put weight for 6 weeks because of meniscus repair 😢
Thesame here 2months
How long in the brace
4-5 weeks ish until I could walk fully normally again without it
3 days in on my first ACL reconstruction surgery, annnnnd I hate it. 😂 10/10 would not recommend
Fibertape or bioscrew mam
I have nooo idea... I don't recall these options ever being brought up tbh
Perfect 👍😍🙌🏻💪🏻🚴♂️
Nice didi ❤❤
Me three acl surgery😅😅
On the same knee?!
@@DelilahCupp yes sam knee
@@newmatches from where did they got your graft as they might have had your hamstring graft for the earlier surgery.
Hi how are you
💪🌹👍
Nice. @ least you mixed it up with both knees. Me being a glutton for punishment I’ve had 5 in my left. My last one never healed right. Knee looks like Swiss cheese. It’ll never be even close to 80%. Ride in fear 100% of the time. Ended my racing career.
I'm your twin I've done the same both knees i tried to msg your insta but accidentally sent before finishing the msg :)
Nice we are part of a very exclusive club! How far out of surgery are you?
Im 3 weeks 1 day post surgery, first 5 days hurt like a bitch i had my right knee done 6 years ago when I was 16 that took like 10 months to recover but this one is like rapid recovery
is a brace tight
