- ACL & MENISCUS SURGERY | 6 WEEKS POST OP | acl rehab |
Hi, welcome to my channel.
July 2021 I took a blow to my knee during a take down in jiujitsu. After visiting the NHS and private health care at Spire, it was confirmed that I had fully snapped my ACL and gained a meniscus tear.
I had to wait 3 months post injury for the operation due to a significant amount of swelling still around the knee. My surgeon wanted me to gain as much extension back in the leg before we operated.
October 2021 I had my surgery which was full ACL reconstruction and a repaired meniscus bucket tear.
I am 34 years of age, a wife and a mother of a 5 year old boy. My career is a yoga teacher!
During this video I share my progress with recovery at 6 weeks post op!
I hope that this vlog helps anyone going through surgery and gives them a clear picture of recovery and pain.
Please subscribe to the channel to come on an adventure with me during my rehab and progress as I try to get back to being a yoga teacher and managing as a mother.

I’m 3 weeks post op from an ACL and meniscal root repair. Counting down the days till I hit the 6 week mark, where I can be independent again. This video has put a lot of hope in me that I needed, cheers 👍🏻
Great news Gemma - really glad you're recovering well. You're absolutely right about staying positive and inclusive in sports or group activity - a positive mindset is really important. Also be patient with it - healing well takes time. Re: the muscle wastage, yes that can be surprising but now that you're up and about it will come back pretty quickly, but remember it all takes time (personal experience!). Hang on in there and keep smiling 🙂👍🙏
Hey Paul, thanks for your comment. Like you, I really do think sporting inclusivity and a positive mindset helps recovery 10 folds. Thank you for your healing thoughts 🙏🏼
Super video! I’m week 3 ACL and meniscus (the boring phase), you it’s super motivating seeing where you are two/ three weeks later.
Great work
I am so pleased the video has given you some motivation and encouragement. keep going! take care 🙏🏻
i just had my surgery yesterday, im feeling good and watching your videos are very motivating! hope you have a speedy recovery!
Hey,
I'm glad you are feeling great! I'm so pleased you find the Vlogs helpful. Wishing you a speedy recovery also. Take care 🙂
Hi Gemma, your optimisam and headway is such a motivation for those going through this. I am starting with post op physio next week. Good luck with continuation of recovery. I am looking forward to your next video and maybe 🤞 yoga videos as I belive you will be incorporating more and more yoga in your practice.
Cheers,
Asja
Hey Asja, thank you for your comment and for watching the vlog. I'm so pleased you have found it useful. It makes filming these all the worth while when it helps someone. Good luck with your physio! You've got this 🙌
Going through the same rehab. Good luck, thanks for the video 🙏🏾
Thank you! You too!
I injured myself in the exact same way 🙃
At BJJ I got taken down. I'd had my injury since January 2019 and had my op 4 week ago at Spire Leeds.
I can't believe I've only just found this. We have so many similarities.
Hey, Oh my gosh! We are so similar. I am about 10 months post op now and I can promise you it does get easier. It is such a hard slog though. As for bjj, I haven't gone back. I'm too worried I would injure it again.
Hi, did you had bio screw or fiber tape internal brace surgery?
Got my ACL and Meniscus repair as well. The doctor prohibits me from using my left foot to walk (weigh bearing) so I had to use cruches for 6 weeks which is crazy. Btw, its been pas 2 weeks and I cant bend my knee more than 20 degrees, do you have any tips about that?
hey how are you doing now, what was the grade of meniscus tear and was it in posterior horn
Hi - just wondering when you walked at 6 weeks post surgery did your knee hurt each time you would step on it and bear weight ?
Hey, Yes it sure did. The knee gets a lot stronger though over time. keep going 🙏🏻
How is your knee now?
Hi ma'am, how many stitches you had in your meniscus? 😊
What kind of meniscus surgery did you have? Medial meniscus bucket handle tear???
bucket handle tear

I hope your recovery is going well. Take it easy on yourself ❤️
@@GemmaLinaker Yes Gemma, I am doing fine... It's been two months my recovery has been delayed coz I also had a menusical repair too so it's quite delayed
