I'm 3 weeks after ACL surgery. Tore it 2 months ago. The tears hurts but you don't know what pain is till you go through physical therapy after ACL surgery.
mateo1726 right they gave me Percocet’s and I loved the high
How bad is the pain
Shant Markarian 77 The pain is unbearable, I tore my MCL, ACL and PCL. Immediately tried to get up but I couldn’t support any weight on my right leg. After surgery is where you’re tested, learning to walk again ain’t easy
When I tore mine it didn’t hurt at all, like no pain at all, it only felt like I just popped the fuck out of it, but ya fuck post surgery
Tom Dorn that sux
One thing athletes don’t get enough credit for is the rehab they put in after devastating injuries. Imagine the psychological grind to stay positive and just work with the singular focus of getting back to pre injury. It’s not that I didn’t know the work but listening to AD talk about the emotional state of the rehab is pretty amazing. Football players especially put it on the line. It’s pretty incredible.
It’s like everyone on here tore they shit, I am self-conscious of my ACL when I jump from the stairs, play ball etc.., no I don’t have a ‘torn’ one but it’s scary to see
I had a bad acl/mcl sprain my jr year first week of summer football practice .. I was soooo scared I tore my knee til the mri’s showed it was a bad sprain ..
Doctor was trippen when I started damn near crying in joy that it wasn’t a tear
I’ll take crutches and rest over acl/mcl tear any damn day
I’ve torn my acl and meniscus in the same knee twice and it has to be the worst pain I’ve ever felt
DANTARAD 97 probably, but have you ever tore ligaments in your ankle before? being in a lot of pain, Because I have, and it was the worse pain I’ve felt... took me months to get back to just walking feeling 100%
Joseph Santiago I have the mental pain is the worst I had a type of strain where doctor’s can’t tell if it’s a fracture or not took me a good year and half to get 90 percent
@@Jas_Flash92 Ankle injuries are not as bad as knee injuries. An acl tear and meniscus tear recovery time is 9-12 months. I tore my acl and meniscus playing basketball, currently just a little iver a month into recovery
@@averagepcenjoyer4827 you do know an Achilles is an ankle injury
@@MrSPIDEY21 Yes, no one ever said anything about an achilles though
For me, the pain from the tear didn’t kick on until I sat down and my adrenaline wore off (tore it during a football game). The pain wasn’t too bad but my knee was EXTREMELY loose, I felt it dangling and I hated the feeling. After surgery was the real pain. I had to take two Vicodin every 6 hours through my recovery process until I didn’t need them anymore & I missed one that every 6 hour mark one time & never missed it again because that was enough pain to have you in TEARS. The physical therapy was the worst part because you work like crazy just to make a a little progress little by little. It isn’t something you can just ice and have it healed up in two - three weeks, it’s something that took 10 months for me
Yeah, it hurts, but to me, the mental toll was worse. It took me over a year to trust my knee enough to put solid weight on it and actually run again. Every time you feel it wiggle a bit, there's that sinking feeling that it's going to "go" again. I trusted the therapists, and could really push myself with them, but rehabbing by myself was scary. Also, having to learn how to move your leg again post-surgery was a trip.
When I ruptured my acl and tore my meniscus, I was in a lot of pain with an ice pack on it for 20 mins, then the pain went away I got up and started walking, and my brother was laughing and saying I'm an attention seeker, I just laughed because I was in no pain so I felt good, but then little did I know a few minutes later my leg gave way and I fell on the concrete in pain, falling over on the concrete after it happened hurt the most
knee pain pales in comparision to herniated disks. I had both. i tore acl and meniscus. Having the right doctor is key in recovery. If the doctor butchers the operation you have problems.
I'm on week 2. I feel you AP. I've been positive about this but this week has really wore on me. the pain, is no joke
My daughter plays pro ice hockey in Europe, and tore her ACL a month ago tomorrow. She didn’t think anything was wrong with her, and was yelling at the paramedics to let her return to the game as they were stretchering her off the ice. She had surgery about 10 days later, and is now 2.5 weeks into recovery. She said the injury itself wasn’t so painful, but removing the drainage catheter from her knee the day following surgery was the worst pain she’s ever felt. Bigger than the physical pain is the mental strain of not knowing when she’ll be able to play again. It’s not an injury I would wish on my worst enemy.
What a warm and fuzzy guy
Ive done my acl and had surgery. I’m 5 weeks post surgery now. It has its days. But it’s nothing unbearable. I’m back walking and doing bodyweight squats. It’s all in the mind
Having surgery tomorrow. Tore mine playing hockey. Any advice or positivity is certainly appreciated
I am 26 days post op, hope you are doing good and push yourself during Physical Therapy.
Nick Menchaca what kind of surgery did you have and how did you tear it? I’m about 19 days post. Finally starting to walk without crutches. How are you progressing?
are u back running and moving around now after 8 months
This man is a specimen
Ivan C can you believe his knee didn’t swell? Crazy.
Because he was on steriods
@@user-rv7ed8ce1r
Ayo chill
I drove in with my left tried to stop to do a fadeaway my right leg slipped and my knee went inwards and popped out quickly and went right back into place. It was unbearable pain. But being the fool i am i thought maybe it was just like my ankle sprain so i got up limping to play defense. When we got the ball back on offense i faked to the left and went right and my leg gave out. Couldnt believe it like it wasnt even there, it felt it was wobbling. I just dropped and the same pain came back. I knew right away things werent right. Ended up a full ACL tear as well as my meniscus. Just did surgery a week ago. One thing u come to realize quickly is if u are not prepared mentally to overcome the burdens of this surgery it'll be very hard to get back to the way you were before.
Minnesota loves All Day!
The worst is trying to stand right after the injury and the feeling of your knee sliding the opposite direction is so disturbing and gross. After the injury for about 2 weeks when I would lay on my side I felt like my knee was falling out the side
I had surgery 3 weeks ago started therapy last week I’m already able to put full weight and walk without my brace no pain. I have almost full range of motion. So far I feel good.
He's in so much Dept now sad stuff cause he doesn't have it anymore
It starts with your heel. If you step wrong or put too much weight on your leg, it weakens it for a split second. It’s that split second where you cut into a running lane or past a defender (basketball) that seals the deal. I remember when I tore mine, any hip movement would cause it to snap and swell up until the surgery
Dam, makes me respect Kobe staying to hit the free throws even more
Francisco Ortiz that wasn’t his ACL it was his Achilles
Yeah my bad you right.....please disregard previous comment
Darryl fuckin a just as bad though is it not?
PreMRaGe no u can tear ur Achilles and walk afterwards most of the time
Mango chris but it’s still worse and you can do that with a acl too
Shit...i still have flashbacks and still feel the pain from when tore mine so i completely understand
If this man complained about the pain so man ! am doing great. 1 week after the surgery.
How are you know
Still haven’t boxed since I messed mine up 😕
Tore my acl aug 19 finally getting surgery oct 29 didnt even know i tore my acl cause i got up thinking it was just a swollen knee.
My acl has been snapped for 6 years this month .Also tore mcl and was supposed to have acl surgery that following march and got the flu .Acl never hurt but that grade 3 mcl tear oh man ! Anyways have own lawncare business with no employees just me so having surgery would get me fired due to the time to rehab. Would have to say be careful out there people being gimpy is no fun.
I'm 2 weeks out of surgery and there's so much good stuff in this interview. Don't let the thoughts of doubt build a house! Interestingly, my injury did not hurt very badly (especially compared to the pain after surgery). It sure felt weird when it popped though! Felt like cracking apart a chicken wing.
In all honesty I tore my ACL on Sep 17, 2016 and I got Surgery on Feb 3 ,2017 The Initial tear didn't hurt at all, The only time it hurt was when I would run and id feel instability. Post OP didn't hurt that bad at all, I was prescribed Oxycontin and I never even touched it, Keep in mind I had a catheter in my leg so it could numb the pain a bit, I used the Patella Tendon Graft because I still play football. After the first week and a half i was walking and by the 4th week after post op I had most if not all range of motion back. I got my surgery done at Children's hospital Los Angeles I was 15 when i tore it and 16 when the surgery took place.
How's ur knee now??
i tore mine playing football and honestly it didn’t hurt that bad… just scared the 💩 out of me
wow 2 straight games covered by chris myers and tim ryan that year where they saw gruesome injuries Peterson's and johnny knox in week 15
Worst injury ever for a sports lover second to meniscus tear I won,t wish it on my worst enemy
Nah achilles is probably the worst.
@@thekyd211 the fact that acl surgery and meniscus trim leads to arthiritis in a decade makes it worse.
Immediately when I tore my acl it hurt very bad more than broken bones I’ve had.
I tore my ACL my 4th game into my senior year in high school . Played varsity football in Texas freshman year ,,, that was the worse feeling ever . I tore my acl cutting , didn’t get hit but many times that’s how you tear it . Right when I tore it ,, it was painful and felt about 8 pops . Luckily I just tore my acl. After I tore it , I was walking fine ..... just the day after it had swelled up . I was committed and determined . 5 months later,,. I was cleared by my doctor . I worked hard . I was supposed to rehab my knee 3
Months but after being there 1 month it got easy. First 2 weeks of rehab was very painful . Couldn’t
Really walk . Was in bad pain. But after a month and a half I decided to stop going . Got easy . So started working out with my school trainer . Pushed myself to the limit and my trainer had to slow me
Down. Now when I think about it ,,, it’s crazy how I got cleared in 5 months. Hardest part in my
Opinion about it ,,, is getting your quad muscles up cause that’s what the doctors look for . And getting
Your range of motion
This sounds just like me! I mightve torn my Acl yesterday in my game. Im seeing the doctor tomorrow. did you get surgery?
Chase LaRose yes... I tore my ACL. October 12, 2012 and got surgery October 26, 2012 . Wanted surgery asap ..... surgery was the easy part for me . First 1-3 weeks of rehab is the shittiest part . You have to learn how to walk again ,, it was very painful for me but after the weeks were up ,, got easy . Getting your range of motion back is challenging . You’ll get through it. 7 years later ... I am pain free . Feels like I never tore my ACL. Good luck 👍🏽
I tore my acl but I felt herniated discs are much more painfull.
Honestly it doesn’t really hurt when it happens but really after the surgery it does like the first week is so bad
Sounds like different people and the ways the injuries happen make it hurt different amounts. When I tore it, there was sharp pain for just an instant but then it felt fine and I was able to walk off the field. I knew I’d messed up something though and I kept thinking “holy shit I think I just tore my ACL.” Two hours later I couldn’t put weight on it at all.
Damn, I could only imagine what a Achilles rupture feels like.
I had a partial tear and it hurt bad, it was a 3 cm tear from an accident at my job. I can imagine a complete tear would be just scary amounts of pain
I tore mine on April 1st if this year. It was a very loud pop but initially there was not a lot of pain. It was a 75% tear. After the swelling set in it was really bad. 6 months later I was jogging again.
On my 8th month of recovery I still don't feel the same :( hoping to get to play ball soon! Pain is not being back to sport! mental health is worrisome for this injury I could say I fell into a deep depression afterwards.
I already have some depression issues so this and my ex gf slowly losing her attraction to me because she thinks I was being a baby is probably the worst.
I'm in a very similar situation brother. I was depressed about my tear and whenever I mentioned it to my Ex sh would say calm down and wasn't that supporting. She eventually lost interest and we broke up because of that. Almost 3 months out of surgery. I don't need her, all I need is the grind 😤💯
How is it now?
Tore all my ligaments, didn't hurt really, the rehab was painful.
Man Big ups to Adrian Peterson he started purple man this guy deserves a super bowl ring if he don't get the all-time rushing title this dude did so much for the game I like his character and swag you can't coach the talent that he got it's God given I would like to see Adrian Peterson end his career playing on a super bowl team the hell with the haters they can't get out there and accomplish what he already did on the football field I don't even listen to them they couldn't play professional football we couldn't get it with the Vikings but I hope he can get it somewhere before he retire I'm with him into the wheels fall off he's not your average running back you don't test a person on how old they are you test a person on how long they can endure I want to see Adrian Peterson like he said he won't be satisfied until he know he won't hang up the cleats until he know he gave it his all do not force this man out the NFL look at your boy Tom Brady is he going to play till he's 55 come on they force a lot of players out The League before age 30 it ain't just running backs but I'm interested to see and I'm praying that Adrian Peterson he said he's interested in the bills the niners and the Rams a perfect fit for Adrian Peterson would be the Buffalo bills they just upset the super bowl champ Rams so I'm going for the bills of course my hometown team is the Vikings and I like the raiders but most importantly I'm pulling for AP I'm following him no matter where he go all day purple Jesus let's get it you got a super bowl ring with your name on it you already destined for the Hall of Fame and I'm praying that you can get the rushing title you rush for a thousand yards at 37 at 38 at 39 you only need 3400+ yds to pass Emmett and you need 400 this year to pass Barry Sanders no disrespect to them guys okay we're pulling for you Adrian Peterson and I hope you knock out lavon Bell Saturday
And last it's Pitiful they trying to make it a quarterback League bring the running back back there were only seven running backs last year in the NFL that rushed for a thousand yards that's f****** sickening when I grew up watching football in the '80s the league was stacked with running backs
Bring the running back position back since Adrian Peterson has been in the league he's been the dominant running back along with Frank Gore I can't name any others since Adrian Peterson all these other running backs are boring as hell to look at I'm telling you man they have no type of swag no type of nothing when Adrian Peterson gets the ball you're getting your money's worth
Hey Adrian Peterson I'm praying to God because you put God first in Christ come back to the NFL we need you
Just like in real life you're hard to stop and in PlayStation 5 Madden I be running all over they asses one of the greatest athletes ever of all time AP for president I got Texas blood in my veins my grandmother is from Gonzalez Texas and my father is from Garland Texas he live out in Palm springs California his dad or my grandfather's from Oakland California never been to Texas maybe I'll take a trip one day my father wasn't there for me but that's okay I have a heavenly father and a savior Adrian Peterson it's super bowl or bust you're at the end of your career you're rounding third headed home the NFL better not do you like that you deserve a ring you deserve a super bowl ring bro
I tore mine around 2 and 1/2 months ago and I'm 6 weeks post op going through physical therapy. The initial moment of injury caused intense pain, the worst I had ever felt until the surgery of course. The first day post op turned into the worst pain ive ever felt, so bad it had me sick for a while. Have about 3 months of therapy left and improving every day.
vikings ran this guy into the ground
Not at all lol. This was literally a freak accident. Dude hit him in his knee.
L_LKoolKid they ran him into the ground he got the ball every other down
Mango chris he didn’t get “ran into the ground” he went over 1k last year easily. Ran into the ground is when your no longer good because of to many carries. He got hurt off a freak tackle
L_LKoolKid nigga he got ran into the ground u can still be good after that just not nearly as he could’ve been. That isn’t a freak accident happens all the time and the chance is higher if ur running back is always getting hit 15 times a game. He was their work horse and was their only offense. He had 314-363 carries in 3 years as well he was over 10 catches imagine getting hot that much he was ran into the ground
Mango chris 10 catches over 3 years. AP is a workhorse. lol
So sometimes an acl tear won't cause any swelling?
i just got surgery 4 days ago'
Best of luck in your recovery. I tore mine in Feb this year.
Haha aye me too the recovery process is a bitch 😭
Had surgery 2 weeks ago for the same reason goodluck to you on the recovery.
how is everyone's post surgery pain? I am scheduled in two days. never had surgery and pretty scared of waking up to what the pain will be. it will be painful and uncomfortable but is it just like any other pain - not nice to have but not like the end of the world? If that makes sense? Any advice ?
Veneros how was ur surgery?
I tore my mcl pcl ACL ligaments and fibres I hurt alot
Jesus u must’ve had an injury like Shaun Livingston. Sounds exactly like the one he had. Did ur artery in the knee rupture or nah? How is your knee now?
@@weskelley2485 its all good now, hurts on cold days though if I'm honest! Yeah I git my leg stuck in a net and I fell onto it and everything just went! I was on cruches for like 10 months and out of sports for almost a year and a half. (Thats how long it took to heal) I've had to stop playing contact sport too. I'll probably be back when I'm abit more heavily muscled. I didnt have any operations or anything because I was 13 at the time(15 now) but considering how bad its could have affected me im pretty good! I Box now and im hoping to go to the Olympics after this one! Remember the name Dante Watterson! :)
I've noticed everyone has different experiences with their torn ACL. I guess a lot of things factor into it. The initial tearing was pretty painful for me but the first like 2 weeks after the surgery was by far the worst part. Constant pain that didn't really go away even with the pain medicine. I did however also tore my meniscus, as well as sprained my LCL and MCL so my knee was all kinds of fucked up haha
Why is he smiling while asking
ISN'T he the guy who DISCIPLINED HIS CHILD WITH A SWITCH??? FEEL THE PAIN....FEEL THE PAIN
His left arm is bigger than his right arm
The logo of the show is covering the elbow part of his arm so ues it looks small but isn't. He's right handed so he would be normal for his right arm to actually be bigger than his left side.
From BEATING his son with a SWITCH....WHAT A GREAT GUY
I'm all 3 right now!! Only 1.6 ypc but lord please!
wasnt anywhere close to being his fault. he was getting swarmed in the backfield
Just got surgery two weeks ago :(
Noel Sanchez how’s it going? Rehab wise?
how was your post surgery pain? I am scheduled in two days. never had surgery and pretty scared of waking up to what the pain will be. it will be painful and uncomfortable but is it just like any other pain - not nice to have but not like the end of the world? If that makes sense? Any advice ?
CrazyManGaming two and a half months in, I’m walking completely normal and can bend and extend fully, I just started jumping too. My therapist is taking it slow due to my meniscus recovery
Veneros first two weeks are really tough, but once that’s over,ur all good. I’d say the pain is pretty immense the first three days. Just stay strong, distract yourself by playing video games or watching movies. U got this, I thought it was the end of the world, but it makes u stronger. How u feeling right now?
Won MVP not even a year later....fucking freak of nature
Wentz threw a TD. unbelievable
Just had acl reconstruction. Labor was worse. 😂
Oh Fs different kind of pain lol
It was the Blue Bell.
If Adrian didn't get hurt he woulda steamrolled all the records..
Can anybody sponsor my surgery
Worst pain ever is getting beat by my daddy.
-AP’s son
Bull riders keep me on riding Kneelers
I hate that such a talented player had to play for a crap team.
Fredrick Weathers The Saints are crap?
Fredrick Weathers not trying to sound like a bias vikings fan but the year before ap got injured we were 1 game away from the superbowl and when he returned we went 12-4 and he won MVP.
Who's your team bud lmaooooo ap my favorite player of all time but in 2009 and 2015 people may look at favre and Walsh as components to why we lost which is true but ap had fumbles in both games in crucial moments and helped cost the game as well but who's your team bud
DiggsTheGOAT they went 10-6
Fredrick Weathers exactly. I hate seeing legendary talent being wasted on average to poor teams with incompetent coaches or front office or qb etc etc. man I wish calvin johnson played on a different team. just imagine what he could’ve done for a team with other weapons and an actual run game.
Apparently he has never had shingles lol
Dominik Wilson or a kidney stone
