had knee surgery today

hey guys, i had some good old ACL reconstruction knee surgery. feelin pretty good right now. getting bored quick though!

 

get used to the boredom, hope the rehab goes well for you.

 

Been there done that, I raced District 38 Hare scrambles, had my share of surgeries, you should be back on the bike in about 8 weeks or so...

Be sure to do all the rehab stuff and start stretching as soon as you can, this is key to full recovery, your knee may work even better than before actually, mine did.

 

Good luck with the recovery & rehab.

 

Oh man. That blows! I hope you feel better.

All the more reason to look at trucks, right? Haha!

 

yah it sucks. this is my second time so i know what to expect. Thanks!

i wish i could say that im going to be getting back on the bike. pretty sure im hanging it up. doc said i already have arthritis in my knee so i need to start thinking about my future

 

thanks guys!

 

I know how you feel.


Wish you best on your recovery!! And hope you do not have to give up the sport you love at 25.

 

Thanks!

its going to be so hard cause racing my bike is in my blood,always has been and always will be. i have other interests though like riding my mountain bike and want to get a road bicycle to ride too. im going to try and turn my focus towards that for now anyway, i feel it will be a little easier and more health for my knees. so i will be back in the dirt, just on a mountain bike

 

Listen to your therapist.

 

good luck man, if you ever feel bummed out type in willis mcgahee knee into youtube. with enough work everything should work out.

 

That is why they call them 'practitioners'...

good luck, had a new ACL this past apirl. Was in PT 5 days after, doing short rides on my motorcycle 3 weeks later. Just don't push the recovery, if you over do it, it will just set you back.

 

Speedy recovery there Moto. I hope the surgery fixes you up well.

 

I'm doing pretty good, compared to the first time around. doing my exercises without too much pain so im happy.

Thanks guys!

 

Good to hear. Good luck!

 

Good luck dude. Tore my left ACL & MCL in 2000, tore my right ACL in 2007.
Advise: DO YOUR AT HOME EXERCISES NOW! You'll be glad in the long run.

 

Thanks!

Yup, doing them all. Thanks!

 

its doin as good as it can be i guess. had my fallow up with the doc yesterday and he explained to me again that i have no cartilage on the outside of my knee and if i injure it again that its not going to be good. possibly a knee replacement! so i made up my mind that i am officially retired from racing motocross . also had my first therapy session yesterday, nothing too exciting, just some more "fun" excersizes to do .
