ACL Reconstruction Progress
As I wander through Body Space, I notice a large group of ACL “inspired” members. I would like to compare history/progress since your operation:
About a year ago, I had reconstructive surgery on my right ACL. Harvested a strand of my right hamstring and withstanding a few hiccups in surgery was sent to physical therapy for rehab. Approximately 6 months of rehab and then I was directed to train myself. Still working to increase strength and stability in both legs. Steadily getting better and stronger results.
Points of concern for comparison:
1. Occasional numbness in large toe and entire leg while/after work out. (not too often)
2. Effected leg gets cold…circulation seems to curb once in a while.
3. Hamstring slow to strengthen.
Just wanted to compare my symptoms w/others that have been through the same operation and deduce what are acceptable side effects and non-acceptable.
Thanks in advance, Scrib
