Almost One Year Since My ACL Injury

It’s been awhile since I posted so I guess it’s time to catch up. I’m at about the 7 months post-surgery point and 11 months post-injury point so my life has been affected by my ACL injury and rehab for almost a year – that’s a long time. I still have pain and discomfort doing certain activities like going down steps, trying to kneel, etc. I saw the surgeon last week and he basically gave me the go ahead to do just about anything – running, yoga and yes skiing – which I won’t be doing. However, everything in moderation and if I experience pain and swelling, which I have been, I need to ease back down the next day as well as ice and take Advil or something similar. So things still aren’t back to normal and I’m not sure they ever will be.
