Anyone dealing with a crossfit or gym related injury right now? I'm looking for 10 people to help with recovery research

Hoping some people here can relate to my story -

I tore my left ACL two days after turning 30. Eighteen months of knee reconstruction and PT followed. At the end of it I had a working knee and almost no record of how I got there. Every PT appointment started with "how do you feel today?". Good weeks were hard to replicate, bad days came randomly. The data was there in every session and every night of bad sleep. It just never got captured into something meaningful.

I kept thinking: was the pattern visible? Should I have kept a notebook for two years? And if someone had laid the data out properly for me, would that have helped?

I'm not a coach and I won't pretend to be. I'm just a health nut and a data nerd who went through 18 months of brutal knee recovery and came out the other side wishing I'd had something that could show me what actually happened and the small victories along the way. A timeline of my own daily rehab that made the invisible parts a little bit more visible.

I'm testing it now, manually, to see if it's actually useful to people before building something real. Looking for about 10 people who are currently injured, rehabbing, or interested in pain logging and data visualization.

You log your training and any pain once a day using sRPE, and once every two weeks I hand-build a one-page PDF. A personal-baseline load trend over 14 days specific to you. No diagnosis, no prediction. Just a transparent timeline.

15 seconds of logging a day for 4 weeks. PDF every two weeks.
