what the heck did I just hear....😮 I need an update of this😢

Omg thank you I thought I was crazy about feeling sandpaper on my fingertips!! I'm 7 weeks post op and you have helped me with your video soo much!!

I just had my hamstring graft used for a new ACL. I really don’t know what to expect. All I know is I’m on light duties for the next years. I feel if I bring my leg back too far it could just pop again, but supposedly it won’t, early days still. It’s good you documented it the way you have, and I like how you acknowledge God’s influence over your experience as well. It reminds me to ask him everyday to help me get better and not do any further damage.

I had 3 arthroscopic shoulder surgeries in 2005 and 2006. I didn’t understand why I was feeling really sad after the surgeries I had. My parents weren’t those kind of people you could talk to because they would tell me to suck it up or deal with it so deep down I had to hide my feelings and I mentally blocked everything out at that time in my life I was only a young teenager. I wish I was able to talk to the doctors and nurses how I was really feeling after the surgeries. I still have dreams that I’m having surgery and I sometimes wake up crying. I never talked about my surgery experiences and what was going through my mind at that time. I hope I can talk to someone who can help me. I’ve been dealing with these feelings for a long time.

omg you’re so pretty

Don’t mind the haters. Have fun. Q: what does the Blue and White belt mean?

You have to tell your partner to shut it up during randoris, talking is for the changing room, you have to be focused on what you're doing, also you could badly injure your tongue if you're speaking while rolling, not worth it.

how is this a purple belt, your moves are wack

ur alive???

cute feet lol

Great watch. They say you learn a lot by rolling with people less experienced and perfecting the basics. Reminded me of my favorite training partner, who learned a lot at my expense 😅

Yall is there ANY way to have a fake tan and train BJJ 🤣🤣

I need to talk with you please

sorry

10 days in So true, it's so hard to sit still. When i was told that i had to wear this sling for 4 wks. I got depressed. Having to rely on others isn't my specialty but it's getting better. I'm learning to slow down and ask for help. Thanks for sharing, there's light at the end of the tunnel 😊

I also have problems with my hamstrings😭😭😭😭😭😭 Im so devastated!!!!!!!!!!

hamstring graft sucks

My biggest issue with post-surgery is getting out of shape. I’m a very athletic, BJJ and MMA guy and was extremely ripped before the injury. Now, I’m up and walking 3 miles at a time just 14 days after surgery, and I’m healing very fast, but still, it’s gonna be a while before I get back to the magnitude of fitness I achieved before I got hurt.

I keep pulling my hamstring had acl surgery in 2015

So I broke my leg (tibia & fibula) 2 weeks ago and it's been real tough with all this pain and meds. I dont have much people in my life to begin with that give a shit and recovery has been real difficult being alone. I'm at the point in my life/ recovery where I think I've just given up and accepted my fate 😢😢😢 I have no motivation no will power to do anything besides sleep and try to eat but it's not the same. I dont have a gf nor do I gave friends that actually care or understand the pain and mental toll this injury takes. Idk what to do anymore. Just talking with someone would be amazing. I hope people don't go thru what I go thru 😕 I wish I was never born...

You have skill for sure. I'm a beginner white belt and it's such an empowering sport never thought I would love it like this

Hi Shelly I am a ex wrestler who wrestles once in awhile. I also practiced you Brazilian JJ. I will get surgery soon on my rotator cuff. Are you back to practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu fully without restrictions?

Hope youre doing well.

Eughh I want to kms... 25 just injured my shoulder. And I also have back problems, eye problems, knee... Like honestly whats the point. Devastated by this shoulder thing.

Motivational…just had this surgery and I’m two weeks in so this was inspiring to see your battles with hope I’ll get there one day as well. Thank you for posting this ☺️

So sorry this happened to you! I played soccer all my life, planned on playing through high school & in college and beyond.. and was definitely good enough to do so! I was playing in premier leagues while I was a teenager. I ended up tearing my ACL, partial MCL, and meniscus the summer before my freshman year… and unfortunately my growth plates weren’t closed yet, so I had to wait until the middle of my sophomore year to have surgery. (I was also extremely sick after that surgery, puking for 6-8 hours, had to stay the night in the hospital because I couldn’t keep anything down 😭) It completely ruined my life! Playing soccer was all I knew.. and not being able to play anymore left me depressed, lonely without all of my soccer friends, it was absolutely devastating. I did the cadaver graft, and I couldn’t fully play again until my senior year. Well… senior year, high school tryouts come around… and I’m killing it! Until the last day… the last hour… we’re all scrimmaging while the coaches are finishing up talking before making their announcements… and I tear my OTHER ACL, in front of EVERYONE. I knew exactly what I did when it happened, after you do it the first time you just know… I was so angry, so heartbroken. Everyone kept asking me if I was okay- obviously not! The coaches came and found me inside icing it afterwards, told me that if I was okay they would love to have me on the varsity team… I just cried and cried, I knew I wasn’t okay. I ended up having it repaired 2 years later, as it wasn’t exactly urgent anymore, my soccer career was ruined! 😭😭😭 12 years later, here I am… I have re-torn both ACLs after having them both fixed once already. I just had knee surgery last week because apparently my first knee surgery was done incorrectly! He ended up doing bone grafts to create new tunnels for a new ACL graft, which I can get repaired in 3-6 months, and also repaired 3 tears to my medial meniscus, and 1 repair to the lateral meniscus. I will be on crutches for another 3-5 weeks so that my meniscus can heal! (Much different than an ACL surgery!) 😢😢 So yeah… my knees have ruined my life… and how did I tear them you ask? Mostly just from running and pivoting in other directions… my hips and knees aren’t “aligned correctly” and so randomly when I run & then stop to pivot in another direction, the top of my leg keeps going and slides over my knee, ripping through my ligament. 😮

What shoes to wear

What shoes to wear when u go inside

Honestly I think your quad seeming to be higher up is just less muscle mass basically. I noticed when you build up quad muscle and straighten the leg, the muscle mass has to go somewhere and the bigger it is it gets squeezed down more. So I guess it will become more symmetrical with time and training. I am 3.5 month post OP ACL repair right now, thanks for your videos ❤

Good video!

I had acl/mcl reconstruction on the 27th march it’s not the 8th of April I have been told to start trying to bend I cannot do it it’s awful the swelling is so bad did you experience this?

Did you wear a brace before surgery and how fast did you get surgery?

I would add wrist protectors to cut down bruises.

Bruises regular. Not cooking cakes lol :) It shows you another way too look after yourself.

I'd pick you first everytime

I am much depressed that I may get arthritis future in life

Thank you for inspiration

Jiu-Jitsu makes you wanna do jiu-jitsu on everything I was using my legs the other day on the dog to lock and twist her around. I was waiting for the dog to tap. . .

I had acl reconstruction surgery done twice on the same knee

What a nightmare. You're incredibly strong to get through all of that misery.

god bless you girl... im 17 annd tore my ACL .. surgery is expensive and so idk what my life will be further

Hope everything is good for you and you are doing well. TH-cam randomly popped this video on my feed. Ive always felt twitches in my knee and was worried, when I saw you on crutches the first time.. I realized how many challenges you must have felt and overcome. You have been an inspiration. Thank you!

Wow,everything you said about where you are post opt is were I am.EVERYTHING!!Keep up the great work💪🏾

Thanks for sharing this. Had a aclr done 10 weeks ago, and initially I was enthusiastic and gradually I’m getting depressed with the grind and long process of rehab. This video helped !

Got my ACL surgery Friday and I still can't move my leg from the nerve block. I'm over this all.

Your comment about pain at 7:40 is what I think about all the time. ;-)

Thank you for sharing such a sincere and authentic recovery. Curious if you would be able to share how life is now (5 years later). ACL surgery is so challenging on so many fronts and hearing your story has been very inspirational. Thank you.

I've made a point to take Gas-X about an hour before class to help prevent those embarassing moments....

You are warrior Shelly . I have a same problems with the hamstring tendon. I broke my acl on ski .I does not feel the same after the operation. I had a problem with the meniscus. The doctor explained to me that it is good to stitch them up and since then my knee cracks and clicks with every step.

Thanks for sharing! I’m 3 weeks post op now so your 6 week outlook gives me some hope and motivation. Thanks again and best of luck to you in your full recovery 1 year out.
