Feel sore, frustrated and defeated

Oww Oww Oww!  Sorry for your injury and hope you will mend quickly.  You might speak to your doctor about taking Cymbalta. It helps chronic pain and the depression that accompanies it.  It works really well.  Take good care of yourself!

Oh honey, I feel for you.  I fell in my garage the long weekend in May 2012 and tore up everything south of the knee one one leg and the knee of the other.  I was on crutches (yeah, right, at over 350 pounds) and then limped for months and was sore for over a year and still have problems going down stairs.  But I continue to walk as much as I can.    Some days I hit three miles.  It's been easier since the bypass at the end of July, and I have more to go, but it does get better.  My best recommendation if to GET PHYSIOTHERAPY NOW.  It really does work.  I would have recovered faster had I done it right from the get go.

Everyones recovery is different. Go to physio when you cleared.

Keep it up, ice it and dont keep it completely still.. flex a tiny bit, flex toes a tiny bit

I have a torn liagments and you will be in for a long journey and your knee will never be normal again.

But you can get it close to normal, just follow what they say!!

I have had torn ligs and a torn miniscus. it sucks and is painful.

you cant do much leg work but you could still do some upper body work with bands or light weights perhaps? maybe some light yoga which will help you later on.

good luck.
