Welp today found out I once again tore my ACL and need ANOTHER replacement! Let just say I am not happy at all. This would be ACL replacement number 5 total, 3 on this exact knee. Last one was 1 year and 5 months ago, oh yea and by the way I'm 27, so this is not right. I think everything plans to go wrong all together, and this is just the worse of it all. Looks like I'm going have to go to shooting range and be that a-hole who unloads mags like nothing since I'm so angry....

 

Sorry for the vent someone has to hear it

Are you seeing the same docs/surgery centers?

Ouch... get well soon!  

Sorry to hear that.  How did you injure it, originally and this time?

Sorry dude....that sucks

Have you considered paying the doc the extra charge for Super Heavy Duty parts this time

 

Seriously, I hope you get well soon, and try to respect the new parts rather than testing them to the limits.

First knee surgery ever was caused by football, from their on they kept going. I literally do nothing to jeopardized my knees because I hate surgeries to the max. Winter I do not step foot outside unless walking to my truck, I don't do any hardcore lifting, I don't do any sports or run.

 

Tore this time literally by standing still and turning my body to face someone, so unreal on how it tore..

 

For 3 of my knee surgeries I went to the same doc, I then thought something has to be wrong when I tore it the fourth time so I then went to Rothman, to a doctor who is with the Eagles, and now this happened. So I am unsure on if I should go back to rothman or try someone else once again.

 

I told my girlfriend already, she thought I was a hermit before, with a 5th surgery I will be a hermit to the max now.

we try to get to people before the first surgery but if you are interested we may be able to help you. One of the issues with ACL replacement is that you will never find a graft exactly the same size dimensions as your original. These grafts fail often depending on the patient....

I might consider this since everything else is failing on me, just need to get more info on it and see if my insurance is accepted..

Man that sucks. I had fairly simple surgery on my knee a few years back for a torn meniscus (not sure I spelled that right) but they also told me the tendons were stretched because I had been favoring it for so long and that they might need to go back in later and shorten them which is a little more complicated. I just deal with a little looseness around my kneecap though it bothers me a little sometimes but not enough that I feel I need to go get the surgery yet.

 

Hope everything works out for you, joint issues are really tough...

You are in my prayers.

 

Unfortunately, I can't get on my knees right now (seriously ) but I'll do my best

I sympathize. I was just at HSS in NYC and found out I tore my ACL, PCL and cartilage. It really identify, although not five times. Good luck.
