That’s crazy how you bend your knee…. I’m day 12th, barely can bend it even 20 degrees with a lot of pain and I still have a lot of swelling

this is super helpful, however I'm in the prehab phase of my ACL and meniscus tear. do you by any chance have a video for that. it would be very much appreciated.

PS...i want one of those Tshirts!! ACL Survival Club.

Love your videos. How much does the Compex hurt? Im getting scared for that part of recovery. Have not have had surgery yet.

You were allowed to eat toast on morning of surgery?

Does the Compex hurt?

Just wanted to comment my experience here regarding meniscal repair and weight bearing. I had ACL reconstruction with patellar graft, meniscus repair, and anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction all in one operation. The latter is a less common procedure that’s apparently gaining popularity in high-level athletes who are naturally a bit loose-jointed. My surgeon does not use any restrictions on weight bearing or range of motion with his patients, even if they have had meniscus repair. His policy is weight bearing as tolerated for everyone, and no bracing. He finds it leads to quicker recoveries and less stiffness long term. I’m not saying one approach is correct but just wanted to add this context so people who have had meniscus repair and were not instructed to brace and/or not weight bear don’t freak out!

How are you able to have such a good control on your injured leg? I had my surgery a week ago, in Germany. And my leg is really weak. I can extend my leg pretty good/ go into the stretch, but I am not really able to raise my leg. It's like the mind muscle connection is not there. Some info: I am a 23 year old woman. I torn my ACL 5 years ago, but this wasn't really discovered because of Covid lockdowns. The diagnosis was just strained, and I only did a little bit of physical therapy and then gym. It took me around 1,5 years to get the full muscle volume back. Last year, I tripped bad and had instability again, so I did a second MRI and discovered my ACL is totally torn at my femur and I had a cartilage damage (2nd degree). My rehabilitation plan (from my surgeon) is kind of different than the norm. The first 2 weeks I need to keep it straight, do enough stretching/extension and try to activate my quads. In the first 3 weeks, I am only allowed 15kg bodyweight (basically ¼ of my bodyweight) on my injured leg. Then, week 3-6 ½ of my bodyweight. At the 7-10 week mark, I am allowed to normally walk again / put all my weight on it.

Im having my surgery next week! In USA I’ll spent in the hospital maybe 3 hours and then I have to go home . They require you to have someone who can drive you home and take care of you. And surgery is 90.000$ without health insurance, I have to pay 3k out the pocket. Depressing….

Hope you recover good ,why those videos are so satisfying 😂❤

Hi just had my acl, meniscus surgery done on Sept 16th and my follow up next week on Sept 30th. What should i do while waiting on my follow up with my dr and hopefully i can be cleared on that follow up to start physical therapy.

I am ACL surgeon , i wish that i can get your amazing information and instructions to my patients, thanks and keep going

Fresh out of my 4th knee surgery at 27 (tibial avulsion, ACL/LCL rupture w quad graft, failed ACL graft removal and bone graft, and now ACL reconstruction with hamstring graft and MACI meniscus repair) and this is the best series I've ever come across for recovery. I work a demanding job (wildland firefighter in the US) and Charlie's goals for recovery seemed well aligned with what I'm looking for as well. If you guys release a full program I'd be super interested in purchasing it to support all the work you have put into these videos. Otherwise I'll be taking notes. Cheers!

9 days post ACL surgery here. I can relate to all the emotions you have talked about. Thanks for sharing.

Hello I just got my acl surgery last week And i am now on day 8 But i have i question is it normal that my calf hurts really hard If i want to stand up for a walk i can feel allot of pressure coming down to my calf. Did you also had this and do you have tips for me

Can we get a month 5 guide please

It is nice that you had people going around you! I also isolated for the first 2 week. After that I started doing activities too!

It is nice that you were able to get all those machines at home. Very useful.

For my ACL reconstruction, I had to bend my knee until the 2nd week.

I could have the ready machine, but using cub ice works too. You just wrap your knee with plastic, and with a towel you hold the cub ice and robe it around the knee.

Good video . waiting for phase 2 , 3 and 4 - Also it would be good if you can show the criteria to enter each stage and how long one should spend on each stage with exercise progression for all exercises

I’m on my 3rd acl surgery. This video definitely helped me get an idea of what I can do on my own

Is the hamstring graft still adequate if you play competitive level sport? That’s the current plan for me but I’m a cricket and badminton player. I’ve had a torn medial meniscus and ruptured ACL for 5 years. Last thing I want is for the graft to lose strength and have to go for another ACL revision like you did. Your thoughts would be much appreciated 😊

I’m currently on day 7 (yay 1 week!) post ACL surgery with Quadricep tendon autograft and this is by far the most challenging thing I have ever had to overcome, physically and mentally. I am nowhere near your level of progression as you’re a pro rugby player so that is expected. But do you have any tips to improve recovery speed for someone going through this for the first time? Thanks!

Mine snaped 5 days ago. Recreational football, no one around me, ball is comming high so I raise my left foot to my waist hight to control it. So I was pivoting just a tad on my right leg. Lower part of the leg was still while the part above the knee rotated just a bit. I heard a loud snap. Pain is mainly now coz of the bruised bones and fluids inside. I think I will stop playing football and avoid the surgery. For now...

You have a lot of different crutches

You are really good on your crutches.

At 4:50 1) get rid of knee swelling 2) straighten the knee 3) switch quads on

very good. she looks so strong. can she do donkey calf raise?

This is awesome! Super helpful video! I am going to be getting surgery soon- do you guys happen to sell a program for us to follow along with? Having a printo out of the exercises/goals for each phase and or week would be so helpful!

Great ACL Video!

Great video, hello I'm a new member of the club I'm on 14th week post first op, I tore my ACL in soccer 14 years ago

I’m coming up on two weeks and sleep so far is my biggest hurdle. Any advice and what are the goals and reason to sleep a certain way?

I just had ACL surgery last week (currently on day 8 post op) I wish I had found your channel sooner but its been incredibly helpful mentally to see someone going through this because I also had a big spout of emotions and sadness a few days after and while I dont wish that on anyone, watching your story made me feel a bit more normal, so thank you for sharing !

Almost 6 weeks in post op I still have mild extension lag ..please tell some exercises to get past this

Great work Charlie 🎉🎉

miss you! just had my surgery 10 days ago ❤️

Hey, I just wanted an insight into the procedure - the kind of implant and fixations(button vs screws) used for your surgery. I've torn my left knee ACL and am due for surgery in the coming two weeks. Just trying to narrow down on the doctor and procedure. Also, any insight into BioBrace would be helpful.

I am 2 weeks PO . Second ACL surgery ! Looong journey ahead

I have the compex 3.0 . It doesn’t have an atrophy setting . Not sure how to use it

I just had ACL reconstruction surgery two weeks ago and watching your videos has been so helpful! I really feel for your pain. Keep up the good work!

The journal is a great idea

Any chance you could suggestions of nutrition supplements and food?

That frustration of “thing after thing” is very relatable. Felt like I injured my hand and was off for a bit, then my knee was sprained, and now it’s torn. All alittle months off from each other.

Thanks so much for sharing your journey! I’ve just had my surgery yesterday and really appreciate the tips you give. Will definitely be following every new video to help prepare me for the next weeks. It’s so hard to get your head around not playing the sport you love for a prolonged spell. I’ve started doing a bit of coaching with a football club to help me stay involved in the game whilst rehabbing. All the best in your rehab, you are smashing it 💪

In your journey, how has your quad felt?

Why did you have so much bruising. When I tore my acl and meniscus there was none.

I’m getting surgery later this month… just looking every where for help

It's nice to see that you will soon be able to exercise a little more with your arms again. 3 more weeks and then I will also do my ACL. Your videos give me peace of mind that things will turn out fine for me too. Tnx 🥰😉
