▲ 5 r/ACL

Day 0- nerve blocker failed

They didn’t even have to wake me up after the surgery. I woke up sobbing and hyperventilating and pain. After 3 hours and countless pain meds and another nerve blocker finally I came to feel better.
Leg is heavy as fuck. I was almost admitted to the hospital. Nothing was working for me pain wise.

26f, super athletic. Torn acl, torn meniscus both completely repaired. Quad

I’m able to move my toes and leg. Using a lot of my upper body for movement. Calisthenics is so important

Here’s to recovering 🙏🙏🙏

All I could think was that You all LIED that it didn’t hurt the first day. My god 😭😭
