ACL Surgery Recovery Fears

I just wanted to send you a quick note saying thanks for downloading my guide, hopefully it can help you recover quickly from ACL surgery!

Whether you are about to have ACL surgery or recently had it its definitely a tough time. I understand having had 2 ACL surgeries. For me, my biggest fear is how active I will be able to be in sports and activities with my family as I get older. This fear is one that has really driven me to try and recover as strongly as possible and prevent more injuries.

What about you...

So my question to you is what are your biggest concerns, fears and problems you have regarding your ACL surgery and recovery? 

Please respond to this email to let me know. The more feedback I get the better I can try to help you and everyone who visits ACLSurgeryRecovery.net

Soccer After ACL Surgery

I had surgery about 19 weeks ago after tearing my ACL playing soccer. Ive done great in therapy and have experienced little trouble with running and jumping. I am a senior in high school and the last week of the season will be when I am 22 months, 2 weeks short of what my doctor gave me for returning to soccer. I have been doing light drills and participating in no contact scrimmages and I really hope to be able to make a return for the last few games. Im planning on asking my doctor about it in a few weeks but I was just wondering what you would recommend since you are very knowledgable in this subject.

You probably aren't going to like my answer but the pure cost/benefit of the potential of re-tearing it does not make it worth it in my mind. I rushed back to playing competitive soccer when I started a new job in a new city and was looking to have some fun at a sport i enjoy and after being asked to play I rushed back to playing an re-tore my ACL. It sounds like you are doing all the right things to be ready to play and that is great but rushing in to play 1 game I dont think is worth it. Take your time and then you can enjoy playing soccer in leagues for years to come!
