yo everyone. im 18 and i recently had torn my acl due to soccer. and the feeling of not being able to play it is like OH MY GODD!!!! i tried playing basketball and bam. my knee give way. and i tried running and it gave way. i try to get in the car and it also gave in a bit. super sian. lol. just wondering anyone here had surgery? how much and is it painful? and what about ns? what will i be doing there.. or will my leg heal liao. lol. thanks for the sharing in advance! cheers.
 
I've a torn ACL and meniscus. Not entirely sure to what extent, but I'll soon find out as I'm gonna schedule an MRI.

Have you gone for your MRI?

Oh and get used to it giving way (often and randomly). It's a pain in the arse. Will never heal entirely by itself, you'll have to go for reconstructive surgery OR really go work hard in the gym and strengthen those muscles around your knee.

NS will be slack. I'm C2 L2. BMT will be crazy fun for you.

I too tore 'em while playing soccer.

All the best, bud.
 
PES C. Excuse IPPT, Excuse RMJ (run march jump)

In NS can chao keng all the time to go for MA (medical appointment) and report sick

Can get free surgery in NS. (Not really free cause it's taxpayer money)

3 months MC (Att C) after surgery

Expect a technician vocation

Hi Theiboy,

I torn my acl too due to soccer. That was like in 2001. After my operation , my knee still gave away. However, after listening to my doctor advice. My knee till now did not give any problem at all. Still gave away but only once in the blue moon.

Still actively doing outdoor sports normally.

The advice is to work the muscle around the your knee the calf and especially your hamstring.

Last but not least, put that fear away slowly...

Cheers,

Good luck bro..
