ACL and Meniscus Tear: Jameel's Story

- A talented football player, Jameel Burns seemed destined to play football in college, then an injury to his ACL during a track meet sidelined him. Children’s Mercy Sports Medicine Center not only helped the starter play football his senior year, his doctor reconstructed his knee, and his therapist helped him rehabilitate it. Now he’s ready to put his knee to the test at the U.S. Air Force Academy.
Rehabilitating his knee in the midst of a pandemic also gave Jameel time to think hard about his future, and though he loves football, he knows it’s not what he wants to do as a career.
“I’ve decided I want to become a commercial pilot and fly airplanes,” Jameel said. To realize his dream, Jameel applied for and was accepted at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. He’s even been taking private flying lessons to earn his pilot’s license.
And while he may try to play football at the academy, he’s more concerned with making sure his knee holds up well during strenuous basic training.
This video made me not lose my hopes. I have a tear in my meniscus and my acl. I'm so glad I can go back to sports after surgery, I just have to recover for a while. This video made me so happy, thank you :)
i also have same problem....is ur operation done??
@@anmolk4909 Yes my meniscus surgery was yesterday. I hope I don’t need an ACL surgery. How about you?
@@tamxx4777 mine will be tomorrow....both ACL and meniscus....
@@anmolk4909 just got mine 2 days ago. The pain is real sometimes but we can only go up from here man. How are you?
@@mikehokage4085 2days were hard after operation....now only pain is during exercise.... it's hard to sleep.... it's too hard to use bathroom....but yes u r right we can only go up from here
I tore my acl twice. The first time I tore it was in a football game and it was only the acl. The second time I was cleared too early and ended up tearing my acl again and my meniscus in 2 places also. LISTEN TO WHAT YOUR DOCTOR SAYS GUYS!!!
How you getting on now mate ?
I injured my my knee a month ago, I went back playing basketball and re-injured myself and this time I couldn't bend my knee at all. I got an MRI done the week after and the doctor told me that I had completely torn my ACL and torn my meniscus. My surgery is in 3 days and I'm going through so much emotions right now. I pray that I get a quick recovery and back to doing sports.
@@Jswervhow are you doing now?
Thank you for the inspirational video. I just had an ACL and meniscus operation. Still long way to go.
How has it been after the surgery?
How's that going for you? My surgery is in 3 days
I have a complete tear of my ACL, a complex medial meniscus tear and a complex lateral meniscus tear where the bone is backwards. I’m 12 years old and childrens hospital is backlogged so surgery might be in 3-6 months followed by 9-12 months of rehab. This video made me hopeful
How'd it go ?
How did it go
@@Film-Facts-Tv I’m 14 now, got surgery in November and currently healing in physio. Surgery went well but have some unhealable cartilage but I’ll have full mobility by octorobrt maybe😁
@@untertainment787 what did it feel like when you tore it
Thank you for the inspiration!! I’m going through the same injury now, my surgery’s tomorrow and this really boosted my hopes for getting back to sports again by next year and so on. This video really shows how hard you’ve worked to rebuild your strength!!!
Good luck with the surgery.. remember it's gonna be okay... i had mine last Thursday it's been a week now time flies.
Good luck.
@@thedreamer5168 I had mine last week from tearing ACL and meniscus tear and it hurts like hell have you recovered fully and how did you manage through it?
@@mag9604 oh No , i hope you getting through it... the hardest part is tge first 3 weeks.
Just take your pills before the pain kicks in.
And Try not to think about it.
I use to sleep all day all night lol and Play games it gets better day after day.
I'm not fully recovered yet... but i can run and live a normal Life.
I wish you a speedy recovery.
@@thedreamer5168 Glad to hear its going well for you mate thanks, i struggle to sleep at night because I feel pain and it's really annoying feel like doing an all nighter then just sleep during the day.
@@mag9604 just take advil or ibuprofen on time and the pain will fade away...and just rest ice and all that staff lol.
I use to watch TH-cam and hear from others just to see.. and every ACL is different.
My athleticism has always put me at an advantage in sports, 39 inch vertical, was faster and quicker than most, then I tore my acl and mcl. Now I am on the grind back and not letting this be a set back.
hey how is it going with your knee bro? I also tore my ACL a little bit over a year ago and I still struggle with gaining muscle in my left quad, and I feel like some parts of my leg aren't strong like the healthy leg
@@sandyscheeks9624 , it takes time. I’m gonna make a tiktok for my progress if you wanna drop a follow
@@XXX-cn7gj of course bro
Hey bro, how are you doing now, two years later?
hi great vid! would like to know how long did it take for jameel to recover upon surgery?
I got acl tear suddenly when I was only walking fastly I ignored it ,after some time I was standing and suddenly my whole knee twisted I will never be able to forget that day and later instead of X Ray I went for MRI that big horrible machine and later it was declared that acl tear + bucket handle tear now both of them paining a lottttt .Worst experience of life. I know how I tolerated it and how it was so difficult for me to sleep as not a single posture was comfortable. 😢
Did you get surgery? How are you doing?
I feel You Bruh
I tore both my ACL and then both meniscus only because the ACL tore 😭
So did he get surgery?
Yes. Jameel had surgery after his senior year. Read more of Jameel's story here: www.childrensmercy.org/departments-and-clinics/orthopedics/sports-medicine/torn-acl-jameels-story/
Doc says
There is a radial tear at the anterior body of the lateral meniscus at the inner margin.
Can someone please explain which zone my tear is and will it heal?
I tore my acl, mcl, pcl, meniscus and fractured my lower femur almost 3 years ago in 2019 September. Didn’t get surgery until January and was fully recovered in about a year.
And my mcl healed on its own and I couldn’t walk for about 3-4 weeks after my surgery but was fine and wanting to get back on the field within 6months lol
