I don't currently have pain. I'm talking about during the recovery process.
Fantastic stuff here, mister. Many thanks for all of this.
Quick question: How is your knee athletically? I saw how much ROM and flexibility you gained at 18 months or so, but how does it handle in sports?
I'm all of 5 weeks in, so everything seems a million miles away.
@@frozenkilt I do all activities without thinking about it.
@@ehailey09 Thanks, mister! I appreciate the insight and really loved your outlook over the entire process.
Hey yall. Checking in. Currently 10 months post op from complete patella and rentinaculum rupture. 33 year old life time athlete with solid genetics. Just giving y’all hope! I can sprint again, my 40 yard dash 90% of my college best. My strength in all areas other then back squat is 100%. Still not able to dunk yet (how I ruptured it) but my vertical is making gains. I say all that to say, i remember when I couldn’t bend my knee for weeks, I remember where some of you might be at. It gets better, for sure the most difficult sports injury out there. NFL meta analysis showed return to play was 10-18 months (growth hormone I’m sure) Yesterday I play basketball against other people for the first time since last June. There is hope keep going! Lastly, work on your quads ability to absorb force rapidly (eccentric force absorption) to avoid this injury. Especially if you already have a strong posterior chain.
I appreciate your comments and advice as Im going through my rehab now. I wish I found your advice earlier. Keep up your good work.
I'm currently 10 months post-op and it's been a tough year in ways that I think are hard to understand if you haven't had this injury. I have not run more than a few steps yet but keep working the PT and general workouts, walking in the woods and downhill. Thanks to Eric for his videos, they were a big help to me early in the recovery process. Peace everyone, speedy recovery in the short term, and healthy recovery in the long term!
I still remember the day I was able to walk down a leafy hill for the first time. Everyone recovers at different rates based on so many factors…a great PT and surgeon helps a lot. I’ll never take my mobility and physical ability for granted again. When people try to relate with ACL or MCL tears it triggers me lol. This injury is like nothing else. You can get back to 100%! Don’t let anyone tell you it’s not possible. Stay positive, stay hard!
Thankyou for responding. I am starting pt tomorrow. I am tryong to stay positive. Whenever I start to sink I watch your videos to get back up. Thankyou.
My surgery was on 1.10.24. There have been many times of doubt, but I always keep pushing. I’m at an 80 degree bend and just started going back to the gym. Stay strong everyone! Still a long ways to go for me, but echoing what’s been said in these videos, make it a routine to do your exercises multiple times daily if possible. I took what PT suggested and added a few additional workouts from my own research. We got this!
I had my surgery on 1/3/24 we got this
4 and a half weeks post op for me. How you fellas going?
@@brentwilliam6689 Well I think. Not exactly where I’d thought I’d be, but getting there. It is still an every day grind whether it be going to the gym or riding the stationary bike at home or going to PT, but every day progressing. Just keep at it every day and you will see progress!
I'm 1 month post op today professional athlete. I watched all your videos, now I re-watch them when I get to each milestone. Your optimism helps massively, thank you. Shows how being consistent pays off and knowing you returned to full sporting abilities is re-assuring. Thanks again
Keep it up! Slow recovery process, but everything should fall in place if you keep up with your PT and any additional work you can add in. This guy motivated me to do a little extra and personally I think it really helped. Instead of 1 exercise session per day, maybe I’d do 2. Go with whatever your body allows. Celebrate your successes and there will be challenging times as well. Just keep pushing!
His videos, especially in the early phases literally saved my life. As a past elite athlete, physical activity is everything to me, I was in a deep state of depression but i kept watching the videos and kept doing the exercises. Every month you’ll look back and realize how much you’ve improved. NFL athletes likely on growth hormone still took 10-18 months until return to play. I’m 10 months out and can sprint, squat, deadlift, jump etc. You have the genetics and mindset to get back to 100% or better. I have a log with all my monthly progress if you ever need anything.

at my 6 week follow up my Dr is concerned with arthrofibrosis. I have been on top of my rehab everyday, exercise, movement, diet, tracking progress and a private PT but I'm only at 30 degrees flexion. I have to keep going but I don't understand why my range of motion isn't on track.
How long did it take for you to gain equal strength with your non injured leg. Im two months post recovery. Your videos have helped me stay positive and your personal response is much appreciated. I see the light at the end.of the tunnel. Thankyou.
Ruptured both Patellar tendons. I’m two weeks post op. First post op follow up is this Wednesday. Just know finding your videos. Thanks for the insight and motivation. I just subscribed also!! Any recommendations on ice packs or ice therapy machines?
I am so tired and beaten down. Call me what you may. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. Day after day of stiffness and pain. I think I'm losing my mind! It's not getting better. Been doing p.t. for close to a month. My reality shuffling along.. This is an endless pointless nightmare. I know I'm a punk I'm weak at this point I'm done with the things will get better mantra, just hang in there. I'm giving you my reality.
Has it gotten any better now?
@tjay3686 I'm a little over 4 months post surgery. The swelling is down. My rom is great, however my leg is only 33 percent of the strength of my good leg. I walk with a stiff leg. The real issue is stiffness I really don't have any pain. My knee keeps stiffening up. I do stretches heel slides on my stomach with the rope it still will stiffen up. I am now disabled. I don't function as a normal human anymore. I do my pt at home I go do it 3 times a day at novacare. I'm 60 years old. I'm retiring this week 32 years teaching the rest of my life barely being able to move. Thanks for responding I needed to talk to you because you were so positive. I don't know how to be positive. I have become consumed with negative thoughts. I don't think that people have any idea how defeating this injury is. You know I'm sorry for rambling. Thanks for listening.
Hi guys I'm 5 months post op but I was waiting for my surgery for 7 months so alot of muscle wasted away in that time. around 4 months post op i was still struggling to do straight leg raises but they are slowly getting better, my main struggle now is step downs (or the step down motion i.e walking down stairs) due to the fact of the tendon is still weak and also my brain not letting me do it as I'm scared i will suddenly fall and it will snap again. My other main big problem is leg extensions , being 5 months post op I can slowly do leg extensions about 3/4 of the way with NO weight for 12 reps of 3 sets i done 3kg for the first time yesterday and only managed 1/4 of the way for 10 reps 1 set and then my shin felt too weak and it was too painful. My leg is ok and leg press i can do 30kg for a lot of reps on my damaged leg. Just Sharing my progress incase it helps someone out there
Hi max I completely tore my left patella tendon on 25th April 2024 -- whilst trying to jump and grab a 12ft wall on an obstacle course. I'm still in the leg brace fully locked out. I've been doing the immobilized exercises from your video. I can do the sides and back leg raises fine, but the normal straight raise I cannot get it to lift (very frustrating). I can feel my quad trying to lift it, but from my knee down it refuses to activate. Do you have any tips/guidance for this? Also today is 2 weeks and 3 days since my Op, I can slowly move around without crutches but should I be further ahead in recovery by now? At least introducing some flexion. Thanks. Byron from UK!
Its been 2 months after my surgery most of the swelling has gone down i now can put full weight on my knee and now down to using one crutch
Hello, i am 1,5 year post op and i would have a question that if anybody in this comment section would have answers for i would be grateful.So my knee still becomes kind of swollen after i run ore do something physical. It doesnt really bother me that much but it is a little bit concerning that it still does that so i wonder has anybody else had this problem at this point of the recovery. On a positive note the numbness has gone away somewhat and i have been pain free for a year. Strength is also coming back even thou its not as explosive strength but slowly i feel im getting back to what i was before 💪
Does the numbness ever go away? I’m a paramedic and my job sometimes requires me to kneel and do CPR at times.
I am 1,5 year post op and i still have a little bit of it but it certainly have gotten better in the last half year. I do jiu jitsu and sometimes grappling you have to be on your knees too, i have gotten knee supporters whit a silicone ring on the patella and when i am wearing it i can be on my knees whit out noticing any pain.
Did the numbness ever fully go away in your knee ?
For me, it took probably 6 month before the desensitization medically above my patella bone stopped.
You have pain 6 years later?!
No daily pain
I am having a hard time dealing with this injury. I am having very dark thoughts. I feel like a failure.
Stay strong! Every day is a challenge, but don’t ever give up. I’m 2.5 months post op and have cried many times. Hopefully you have someone there supporting you and cheering you on. Celebrate your milestones no matter how big or small. You got this!
@@shanebakhtavar-suber3449 Thanka for the encouraging reply. I had my surgery on 2/9/24. I start my pt on 3/20/24. The hard part is seeing other people walking and moving with no issues wondering if I'll ever be like I was before. Thanks again for the support. I guess now whatever happens I'll have to accept it.
@@eaglefan240 watching this guys videos were both encouraging and discouraging at the same time. I had a bad rupture, like the end of a mop. The surgeon told me to do absolutely nothing the first month post op. I found a few videos online and there were people who were at my current state now and they were 1 month or more ahead of me. Everyone will have their own pace, so you just have to trust the process. I was depressed and lost 20 lbs right away. I’m slowly building back up and you will as well. I wish you all the best! You aren’t in this alone.
@@shanebakhtavar-suber3449 Thank you.
@@eaglefan240 I’m 1 month post op, the first two weeks were so difficult compared to the next two. Each day each week will get easier, I had the exact same feeling when all I could do was wait for the swelling and pain to go down, now I’m able to do more PT and day to day activities it’s boosted my mood and belief. Keep going
