I just had my ACL replaced and part of my meniscus taken out. Has anyone had this procedure done and/or does anyone know how much rehab I'm looking at.
1 reconstruct and 3 scopes on my knees.
The reconstruct you will be slow for 3 months but you need to get into PT immediately. The scopes are nothing, I was out on the boat the following weekend. Keep in mind that the Percocets helped me be able to take the bumps of the waves. ;)
Did the DR give you the ice water machine to pump cold water around your knee? If so, Use it, It makes a HUGE difference in the swelling.
My son who will be senior next year....just had is ACL,MCL & PCL damaged in his spring football game...doing pre-surgery therapy right now....hopefully surgery next week.

I had my surgery on June 10th. Ya they gave me the cold water pump thing. It was nice. They had me bring it back already though. The swelling is gone. I start PT tomorrow. And the doc renewed my prescription for percocet and smiled and told me I was going to need it. I'm VERY active so this is killing me.
yeh had it done 3 times, most recent the put achilles tendon as replacment and has been great. 5 monthes rehab for me

Sometimes longer. Most surgeries take about 5 to 8 months. I just had neck surgery in March, still recovering. Good luck, hope you have cable!!LOL
