Hey everyone! I had surgery six weeks ago and I’m still doing PT three times a week. I had a follow-up appointment last week, and my doctor finally said I can go back to work part-time for 2–3 hours a day.

Honestly, it’s still very uncomfortable because I work in a restaurant; I’m still wearing the brace and need to ice my knee every 30 minutes. I have to get back to work, though—the bills don't stop! My disability claim still hasn't been approved after almost two months, which is crazy.

My question for those who have had ACL surgery: How long did it take you to return to work, and how did you feel when you did?
