Anyone else tear their ACL due to someone else’s recklessness?
Tore my ACL in late March and I’m now 16 days post op, still struggling to get over the fact that someone else’s recklessness is the reason I have to go through all this pain, do a year of PT and spend thousands of dollars while I’m still currently unable to work just to get back to where I was.
I was injured during Wrestling practice by a New training partner I had never worked with, we were in the middle of a shark tank session so I was already gassed and they proceeded to do a highly risky and unnecessary takedown attempt from behind that they ended up botching which resulted in them landing on the side of my Knee which tore my ACL and part of my Meniscus, they did apologize afterwards but I still can’t help but feel extremely bitter and resentful about the whole situation, I had just returned to sport in 2025 after going through a Labrum surgery in 2024 so the ACL tear hit me even harder than normal.
Every time I see videos of myself pre injury or even new videos of my old training partners or even the guy that injured me competing or training it just pisses me off, I know I’m not the only one who has went through something like this so I just wanted to see if anyone had some advice on how they dealt with it.
