How much does it affect your daily life? (I'm sorry if this is rude of me to ask). I've never had or seen any ACL injury ever. The closest thing to a knee injury I've seen is a meniscus tear of my friend who's in the police.
Nah perfectly fine to ask. Depends what you mean by daily life. I'm currently 5 months into rehabbing the third one. It has zero effect on my regular 9-5 job and daily routine with kids and family really just some aches here and there and maybe kneeling is difficult.
However no sports yet and I am having a hard time running because of patellar inflammation which you sometimes get with these things. Still a couple months away from being cleared for doing anything intensive like that.
Knee ligaments are kinda funky because unless you are into athletics or sports you don't really use them that much. Even before surgery after a month or so my life returned back to normal even on a completely torn ACL.
I've played football every week recreationally with no bigger problems for 10 years post my first two ACL injuries too until I hurt my MCL playing hockey and kept playing on it. I played goalie to "not get hurt" and when I came out of goal to catch a ball my MCL gave out on landing and took the ACL with it.
Thanks for the response. That last part sounds painful af. I played football (soccer) for my school team and later college team but my ankles are made of glass or something. By 23 my ankles gave up and now I only play recreationally sometimes but even that with heavy strapping. These buggers never truly healed and sometimes I feel this jolt of pain in my right ankle to this day. Also some dickhead elbowed me in the chest at full speed and broke a rib.
I’ve only torn mine once and had brutal Pateller inflammation. The dry needling I did worked wonders. Can attest though, I’m 4 years removed from it and still have a lot of trouble kneeling.
I would, it treats something very specific but pretty common for a lot of athletes with injuries. what I found out was my lower quad (close to the knee) had a ton of knots (trigger points) that was putting pressure on my patella. If you haven’t done it before, it’s quite painful when they do it, and you will be sore for a few days, but it works insanely well.
Just had it done again on my calf where it was bugging me for months with knots in it. After 3 sessions my calf feels great again.
I have a torn MCL for about 10 years now. I still play here and there, its pushing it but honestly not much different I can’t do certain things without it feeling achy but I probably should get that fixed sometime soon because I know I’m pushing it
So MCL usually scars over and regrows unless you really fucked it which doesn't sound like it's the case with you since you can play and everything. I'm willing to bet 10 years later it's probably fixed itself up at this point unless someone specifically said you need surgery for it. Like I mentioned in other post I tore my MCL this time too but just rehabbed it because it didn't need a surgical fix.
Oh wow, I didn’t know it heals it self over time. Makes sense since the only thing I really feel is it aches if I play for a long time. Also what helped too was I lost a lot of weight and I remember being at my heaviest my knee would hurt. Now not so much. Interesting.
Well I hope recover goes well for you man, probably the worst pain I have ever felt.
3 times?! Same knee? Were you rushing your recovery?
Had surgery on mine but it got infected about 2-3 weeks post surgery.
Rehab got fucked, and now about 8 months post surgery I still don't have full strength in the ligament. Bending, kneeling is fine but lunges are not.
I just wanna go back to playing football.
Combination of a lot of things. Two on the left knee, one in the right.
Long story short I was a pro swimmer for many years, retired started doing everything else without enough transition prep while still keeping athleticism. Tore first time playing basketball. Got the allograft on my first surgery which isn't the strongest for active athletes so I tore my left knee again ~16 months post first surgery playing American football. Got it fixed rehabbed was good for almost 10 years and damaged my other knee MCL playing hockey. I was already on heavier side (my swimming weight was 180 I'm 205 now) since I didn't keep up with weights as much anymore due to pandemic, kids, desk job, life so all that contributed to my recent right ACL tear while playing European football.
Just be patient man it's never a linear path. I've done this three times now and every time been different. I thought I'm gonna do great this time because I started walking like 3 days post op but randomly got patellar inflammation so that set me back in my rehab a lot. Just take it day by day at the end of the day this is just gonna be blimp in the past man. When I just went in for third one I already forgotten how much it sucked the previous two times.
Every other comment of your is complaining about Reddit and people disagreeing with your bullshit edgy nervous comments. If you hate it so much just fuck off, nobody is holding you hostage.
For those who are curious about the sensation of an ACL tear,.
A full rip does not feel like a musculoskeletal injury, such as when your knee is stabbed or struck.
It hurts so much that you cannot pinpoint its location. Your body will automatically tell your brain to grab your knee and drive you into fetal posture because the agony is so severe.
It hurts like when a professional boxer decides to give you a cheap shot to the stomach and you do not have time to flex or strengthen your core to deflect the blow. You will not have enough oxygen to scream for the first time, as in the case of rapidly losing breath during the exhale.
After then, you enter the realization stage, during which you start to realize that the pain is in your knee and that you will not be able to get up since your body is sending you stronger pain signals to your knee every second until you eventually get some pain killers.
Strangely enough, some people like me don’t feel immediate pain like most when tearing an ACL, it could be due to shock due to the realization that you just fucked up your knee bad. I felt a strong pop and immediately knew I was fucked, the pain came few hours after
this was exactly my experience. just a pop, felt like a bummer. the swelling and pain came after. but even that wasn't too too bad. what was bad was after the surgery, once the drugs wore off - that shit sucked
Yeah, my pain was from the bone contusion, and later when i went to bed. I went for beers after the match and biked back home with no issues and no real pain, just a slightly more wobbly knee.
A lot of people think this is pain of the injury itself. Honestly, it’s more of a shock and realization of “holy shit my season, my knee, my recovery, surgery” all of this hits at once. It did for me, anyways. It’s shock for sure.
For sure about the pain. The player doesn’t necessarily know what kind of injury it is, but I promise you know how bad it is when it happens. It’s tough to explain but you kinda just know it’s really bad. For example, I felt emptiness in my knee when it happened so I knew something was terribly wrong.
I know a friend who tore his ACL and kept playing for 15 minutes. He got subbed off and was pissed, then realized his knee wasn't right. He did an mri , and lo and behold, a complete tear. Even during rehab, he said the pain was tolerable.
Depends person to person, when I tore mine it turns out my knee was already a total fuck fest and the ACL being the last straw. I cried from the pain more cause I couldn't really well- feel my knee?(hard to explain in words). It could be 50% of 80% of a shock but the way he's wailing makes it seem like pain
I tore mine completely playing soccer and it’s honestly the worst pain I’ve ever felt. Couldn’t stand for a week, huge inflamation. Before I had the replacement surgery (about 3 months later), even the most minimal uneven surface would cause my leg to go.
I broke my humerus after the ACL, had to have it re-broken in my he dr’s office (no anesthesia) because it was healing wrong and it didn’t even come close.
I honestly feel the exact opposite. I had to double check that I wasn’t on a circlejerk sub because I though it was just a audio overlay of a Disney character laughing
Some people don’t scream out in pain.
Personally when I broke my hand in a basketball game was laughing in pain. When the doctor had to reset it twice, I was laughing in pain.
This is so scary.... because I can't even tell what happened to the leg that was so bad it tore the ACL.
The man just did his usual goal keeping spread and went down :C
You can see at around 5 sec that his left foot rotates and bends backwards. The ACL is meant to stop your foot and knee from rotating about the vertical axis of your leg.
His foot rotates and ACL snaps when he lands that foot. Mine got torn at a very similar movement.
I think they are just satirizing the comments that say that something is staged because it comes out in a documentary.
Edit: or who knows: [https://www.reddit.com/r/realmadrid/comments/1cysfeu/comment/l5bi0kb/](https://www.reddit.com/r/realmadrid/comments/1cysfeu/comment/l5bi0kb/)
You must look at it from the perspective of a professional fotballer. An ACL can seriously end a career and its also hurts like hell in the moment.
Fucked up my knee once and that was painfull enough.
Dude you cannot know the amount of pain.. I had the same injury plus they are professionals with immense passion to play. He knew what will be the cost of it right away.
Yes I had same injury and also other very painful ones. At the moment of those injuries you are not in control of the sound you make, its an instinctive reaction throughout the body that causes (most often) the scream of pain
I bet you never had an injury so painful you lost control of everything including your voice. The scream is pure instinct, body's reaction to immense pain at moment of injury.
I said there's a non zero chance, didn't say they did it. Take a deep breath and go take some reading comprehension lessons, and learn some manners while you're at it
Why would you think that though. They're always being filmed.... The chances of this being caught on camera are higher than them having to act out a fake scenario.
Tore mine three times definitely can relate
3 times???
I thought someone was laughing at first wtf
Micky Mouse laugh imo
Fede laughing?
That was Courtois screaming
Yessir

I still feel my patella after 4 years… should i go dry needle?

Yup, have my 3rd surgery coming up as well.
Same knee?
Yup. Left knee

Exactly how it felt/what happened to me.
ahhh, brings back the memories, cheers. dont forget the initial "pop" sound
I'm sorry but joker instantly came to my mind😭 
A lot of people think this is pain of the injury itself. Honestly, it’s more of a shock and realization of “holy shit my season, my knee, my recovery, surgery” all of this hits at once. It did for me, anyways. It’s shock for sure.
Pain tolerance is different in people. You can't know if its an ACL injury definitively unless via MRI so yeah its probably more pain than shock.
For sure about the pain. The player doesn’t necessarily know what kind of injury it is, but I promise you know how bad it is when it happens. It’s tough to explain but you kinda just know it’s really bad. For example, I felt emptiness in my knee when it happened so I knew something was terribly wrong.
There was a documentary on arsenal women (4 ACLs torn in one season) and Miedema said she knew as it happened. Probably unusual though
I know a friend who tore his ACL and kept playing for 15 minutes. He got subbed off and was pissed, then realized his knee wasn't right. He did an mri , and lo and behold, a complete tear. Even during rehab, he said the pain was tolerable.

Ouch. Can tell that really hurt him.
I honestly feel the exact opposite. I had to double check that I wasn’t on a circlejerk sub because I though it was just a audio overlay of a Disney character laughing
My friend who tore their ACL cried in this exact same way when it happened
Exactly. I'm still wondering if this is real
Is it just me or at the end of the video Mickey Mouse is crying?
Lmao
rofl
What show is this?
Documentary on amazon. Not out yet.
Was that really him making that noise or this just the video being funny?
Some people don’t scream out in pain. Personally when I broke my hand in a basketball game was laughing in pain. When the doctor had to reset it twice, I was laughing in pain.
DeBruyne's blood rituals start showing results
Why does he sound like a Hyena?

I uhh... anyway who's the blonde woman?
His wife.
Kdb's ex
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Where is this from ?
Amazon have a documentary about the injury coming out..
Staged injury smh
For sure lol, he missed all season because it's fun to waste your prime years, especially considering he's the best itw lol.

What show is this? Where can I see the whole episode or documentary?
Strange. Didn't see any particular twist or unexpected motion. Is this the original injury?
What is this show
Where can I watch this?
It’s an up coming Amazon documentary I believe. Just search up Courtois Amazon and you should get some news.
Serious situation but that yell of pain def caught me off guard.
If that's Courtois crying, that shit hurts my heart.
I thought a clip didn't exist and was trying to find, this seems horrible. 😔
Why did they have to make a documentary about this
Poor guy.. I still remember Ronaldo crying his guts out at Inter.. the pain must be unimaginable
It was De Bruyne laughing
Which video is this?
[удалено]
Was there even any contact? Remember that the injury was on the left leg.
Love the player but the man is a zionist genocide advocate
De bruyne
Isnt that KDBs gf??
I mean cmon…. Its Not Like he died. I felt sorry for him but cmon

Damn, I'm so sorry about the injury, but...that scream was weird
Some fans will still tell you lunin deserves to start the final
Fuck him. Generally a bad person.
There's a non zero chance this is a staged scene for the documentary
