That doesnāt sound fun at all, how did you do that?
Feeling the pain this morning so maybe not as harmless as I had hoped. Been having a look at some diagrams and seen the ACL is middle of the knee, surely canāt be that though or imagine Iād be in more pain.
Was playing football and it was the result of a collision. If youāve ever hit your elbow really hard and then not been able to bend or straighten it for a few seconds it was like that but stayed that way until after the surgery.
You donāt need to worry about the ACL, youād know if it was that. Itās typically caused by overstretching the wrong way when your leg is straight. Done my ACL and for me (and in general I think) the shin was essentially able to move away from your knee because thereās nothing there anymore to hold it all in place. Thatās why you see the physios doing the checks they do when a player goes down with a knee injury - move the joint about in certain ways and they can tell whether there is any resistance there or not. Resistance is good, no resistance is bad. You feel a distinct lack of stability too, like itās going to give way underneath you. They took a graft from my hamstring to reconstruct it.
Iād say itās likely youād have noticed a distinct popping sound or feeling too if you had an issue with the ACL, can still picture the popping feeling mine made when it went.
