Torn acl

edited July 2010 in Vent
I have a torn acl. I have to stay down for sveral weeks. This is day 1 and it's killing me. I have already spent too much time on it though. I hurt it getting off a coaster for goodness sakes. I was on it for around 9 hours after hurting it. I thought it was just a bruised knee nothing more. I was dead wrong. If I don't stay down I'll have to have surgery. Not something I want. It just makes me so mad. I can't do anything. :lol: Its depressing knowing I can't just get up and go get a glass of water without hurting myself more. I know it could be a lot worse and I could have to have surgery but it's not much comfort. Anyone else ever had to deal with this? I feel like I'm whining and sorry if it comes across like that. <br><br>Cookies to all who reads. <br><br>~Triss

  • That sucks! I don't think your whining at all, especially since surgery could become a factor.<br> What about a knee brace and some crutches so you can at least move around the house?
    I'm done with VP. I'll just be around until I get all my dogs and lines placed in good hands. If you want to contact me, please do so through deviantART.
  • I tore the ligements in my left leg. and pulled the growth plate in my ankle out at the same time AND I WAS PLAYING TAG lol I never had to have surgery but it sucked i was in a big black boot thing and crutches for 6months. I feel your pain..kinda

  • I've had a screwed up knee for a couple of years now, I know how you feel ;) <br>It helps to sit on a chair with wheels and just wheel yourself around the house, not only does it work, it's fun too! xD<br>I don't get how such bad injuries can happen from tiny things yet if something bad happens you get nothing :? <br>My friend dislocated her knee doing a pushup for crying out loud! <br>It's just not fair >.<
  • I tore my ACL a few years back from training my youngest horse. Wasnt fun, and when I could finally get back in the saddle, my horse forgot everything I taught him. lol<br>Major FAIL[/img]

  • Sushi.  I am icing it 30 minutes on and 30 off.  Been keeping it wrapped until I go to bed.  We have crutches but they are too tall for me so I can't use them. Lol I tried yesterday and it wasn't pretty. <br><br>AllInTheName that had to really hurt.  I was having a amazing day at KI with my bf when I hurt my knee.  Why do bad things happen when you're having such fun?  I definitely don't want surgery.  I could handle a boot thing and crutches but only the crutches would really help. <br><br>Clo, I'm hoping this doesn't last long and goes back to 100%. I've wanted police for a career for as long as I can remember. I need it better to be able to do that.  I hope your knee gets better.  I cant imagine living with this.  Itd drive me bonkers.  We have a wheelchair. Thank you, I didn't think of using that before.  I shall try that today and see if it helps.   I certainly didn't know you could tear your acl by getting out of a coaster and your foot landing wrong.  I was able to stand the hurt for 9 hours tho.  We aye dinner and that made it feel better so I went back to riding coasters.  I was ready to cry at the end of the night just cause it hurt so bad then.  I don't ever want this happening again. A pushup? That'd make me never want to do a pushup again. <br><br>  Middy that sucks.  How bad was your tear?   Mines bad enough if I walk on it I get this popping feeling and it hurts really bad then.  The Dr. said it tears a bit more when that happens so I can't do much.   That must have been hard having to reteach him.   Never trained a horse before but I've worked with dogs.  Not fun retraining them.

    <br><br>My tear wasnt all that bad, I recovered quite quickly. Re-Training him was not easy. A lot like retraining a dog, only imagine being on top of him 5ft off the ground and he totally doesnt want to be there. lol Not fun<br><br>I hope you recover quickly! I know what you are going through!
