Hi guys, Thank you all for your good thoughts 🙏🏼! Sorry for not being active lately on TH-cam ! Let me give guys an update on my knee. I haven’t had the acl reconstruction. At that time, that was the best option for me and probably I would do the same if would go back in time. The surgery option was only available for me after 6 months when I actually managed to recover and I didn’t wanted to start all over again and I pushed myself and believed that I can recover without surgery and I did… however since then I haven’t been able to play football because i feel that my knee it not like it was before the injury. I can have a normal life, go gym, go for a run but I feel that I can’t turn or stop sharply. 2 years later my knee gave up on me again after I slipped but because I knew what to do right after, I recovered in few weeks(I was still painful and frustrating). I learned along the time that if I put the effort in the gym to strengthen the muscles(Hamstrings, glutes, tibialis, calves) and the connective tissue around the knee, the stability and confidence increases a lot compared to not exercising at all of for a long period of time( 1 month). I think if I want to play football again, probably the best option for me is to have the acl reconstruction followed up by what I just mentioned above ( recovery exercises and strengthening exercises ). THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE, IT’S JUST MY EXPERIENCE and I am sharing this to give you guys hope regardless if you have or not the surgery! Speedy recovery all and good health ! Stay strong 💪🏼
Thank you so much for this update. I wish you all the best, you will get better soon and back to your football sport. we appreciate the time you invested here to inspire us around the world. I am going from a recovery too now it's 3 months and I am still working with the physiotherapist. The journey is long but worth waiting. This taught me a lot in life.

There are many who, if they had gone through what you went through, they would probably have let themselves be beaten, but I like that you are the complete opposite. You managed to overcome any obstacle encountered, and more than that, you managed to become a better version of yourself. I hope many people see your posts because they have a lot to learn from them.
wow! this looks really painful! I am glad you've managed to find the motivation and discipline to strive through the recovery process and may your leg get better soon! stay strong big man!
Glad you're back man! Thanks for sharing with us your journey so we can learn.. and really happy about your progress :) ... i'll share it with my dad who is struggling with mobility in his knee as well .

@xarathustra1433 I also torn my left acl not fully and also miniscus tear. My knee hurts when I do deep squats or jump. How did you manage to handle all those injuries and play. Did you have surgery?

I had a complete ACL tear, left it for 16 years and just got it surgically repaired last month. After 16 years, it was still completely torn, no healing at all. Surgery is the only way.
@@boiragirules Hey, I’m 32. I got it done because my knee kept popping out of place anytime I did any lateral movement. So, I was okay with whatever came after because at least my knee will be stable. Also, Sorry to hear that has happened to you. If you don’t fix it, you’ll always have a bad knee and if you do fix it, there’s a chance you’ll still have an annoying knee, but I’d rather have a fixed annoying knee than a broken annoying knee haha, but obviously do what’s best for you.
Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your injury ! Unfortunately I can't give you an advice on what should you... I wish you speedy recovery and good health regardless the route that you will take ! I know this is painful and difficult but hang on there and DON'T GIVE UP 💪 !
hi! hoping that you can give me a suggestion bro. i play basketball and its a sport that i love the most. had a full ac tear last 3 weeks with grade 2 lcl and grade 1 mcl. on the first three days i couldn’t walk that much. but after that, i can walk with ease if i’m wearing a regular knee support. i can also bend my knees and do some stretches that’s why i thought at first that i didn’t have a complete acl tear but afterwards, mri showed it. anyhow, it’s been 18 days and i can do regular things now without support. i need your help if u think i should proceed with the surgery even now that i’m in a normal state (when i think about after the surgery, i know that i’ll go back to zero again. just like what you said in the clip when you said u “didnt want to go back there again” phase). i’m still doing the phase 1 exercises that you did. haven’t progressed yet into doing it with bands and deadlifts with minimal weight or using bands but i’m planning to. thanks in advance brother!
Hi Brian, Sorry to hear about your injury ! Unfortunately I can't give you any advice. This was a difficult decision for me as well. Please see the pinned comment for an update since I made this video. I hope you will take the best decision for you and I hope you will recover quick ! I wish you good health and stay strong 💪
I met with an accident in August 2023 Got an MRI Reports said I had torn ACL, meniscus and some more. Doctors said to get an operation. Did physiotherapy for a month. Was able (still able) to walk without any pain and do normal activities. Got another MRI in May 2024. Healed everything except for the ACL. Don't know should I be happy or sad. Got this at a young age of 17 and I feel like I am not able to keep up with the people around my age like run, jump etc. I know I can run/jump but there is a fear at the back of my mind. I feel my knee is stable but I just don't know what to do. My friends had surgery and they say they feel pain which I don't. I really don't know what to do.
I'm not a doctor, but if you're young, why not get it fixed if you're able? Yes, it took a few years (4+) for me to get full flexibility after the surgery, but now it's as good, if not better than my uninjured knee. The ACL is like a rubber band-- once it has snapped, it's gone. Many can continue on in life compensating somewhat for the lost stability with muscle strength, but it will always be gone and you'll always have that increased chance of instability and also injuring other ligaments, meniscus, or bone in your knee. At your young age, why not give yourself a second chance at a whole, sturdy knee again? Especially if your knee is nice and strong now! Sure there will be a long recovery period, but if the surgery is successful, you'll be 100% once again, playing sports and moving through life with confidence. Why not go for it if you have the chance?
@@tanyat9077 Thank you so much for the suggestion ❤️ I know I will have to get it someday I am planning on getting it after college maybe Thanks btw, your reply means a lot ❤️
@@BrownBuddy-rc1be You are most welcome!! Take it from anyone over 40: don't abuse or neglect your body in your youth. It will come back and bite you BIG TIME when you're older.
A torn acl will never reattach itself, sorry bro but you have to get surgery, I had the exact injury and I was able to do almost everything and felt fine, but my surgeon scheduled me for surgery within a month, it’s surprising how the doctors told you to wait 6 months!
At 27 years old I completely torn my ACL as well in December 2015 from a basketball game and healed without surgery. But there was a caveat. I was able to walk and live an active lifestyle again. I even started picking up new sports like Muaythai and Jiu-jitsu. Fast forward to January 19, 2024, my knee slipped out of place while doing plyometric box jumps as I fell on the ground in excruciating pain. The next day my injured leg was swollen, I couldn't bend it, and I was having difficulty walking. In the MRI they found out that I've already damaged my meniscus with a complex tear. The doctor convinced me to finally undergo ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair. Now I'm undergoing physical therapy and gradually getting my range of motion back. You may recover from an ACL injury without surgery but as you age you will have an increased risk of meniscus injuries and osteoarthritis.
Hi, unfortunately I can't tell you how long does it take as I haven't had the ACL reconstruction and I had a full tear not partial.Please see my pinned comment for a better understanding on my journey. I wish you good health and stay strong 💪
Okay considering my clinically reported torn ACL, I've got a plethora of questions but I'll ask the important ones. 1) What was the timeline of your recovery ? How long did it take before you could climb stairs up and down easily? 2) What braces did you use throughout and when did you decide to switch from a hinged brace to normal one ? 3) Where's the second partttt ? Did you go through the surgery ? It's been 4 months since my injury and I'm able to do pretty much every daily task with just a little uncomfortable pain later in the day (only on days where i pushed my legs too much). I've been doing exercises in moderation. More importantly, I'm at that point of my career which wouldn't allow me to follow a proper rehab schedule post surgery so have decided to delay it at least by a year. Still a little confused with the way ahead though.
1- aprox 6 months 2- With the first brace (straight one) used it about 2 months, after that the doctors gave me the one with hinge and I stopped using that one once I was confident to walk 3 - Please see the pinned comment Thank you ! Speedy recovery !

How’s it going
Was it worth it?
I met with an accident in August 2023
Got an MRI
Reports said I had torn ACL, meniscus and some more.
Doctors said to get an operation.
Did physiotherapy for a month.
Was able (still able) to walk without any pain and do normal activities.
Got another MRI in May 2024.
Healed everything except for the ACL.
Don't know should I be happy or sad. Got this at a young age of 17 and I feel like I am not able to keep up with the people around my age like run, jump etc. I know I can run/jump but there is a fear at the back of my mind.

Completely Torn acl can never heal & better to go fir acl reconstruction..
