12 weeks post ACL reconstruction and double meniscus repair
Been a number of weeks since I posted on here now. Just wanted to post to help people who are currently starting a similar journey. So I’m nearly 12 weeks post OP. I was NWB for 6 weeks. It’s amazing how quickly after you start getting back on your feet how much you progress. This video was apart of my physio session yesterday. Balancing on one leg like this would have seemed impossible a few weeks ago. I’m back walking, cycling on the exercise bike and doing weighted gym exercises.
I know during the early stages mentally it’s so tough and I struggled with the reality of it all and how long this journey is going to be back to where I want to be. Set small milestones, weekly or monthly and your mindset will shift massively. I admire everyone on here going through this and pushing themselves we are all in this together. I wouldn’t have got through those first 6 weeks without this community and the positivity.
Stay positive, keep pushing, keep working hard it gets better! And if anyone ever needs anything or has any questions feel free to message me as I know the start is scary!
