A few weeks ago I read an article and the comments below and eversince I am thinking about it... So what is a "Mental Recovery" ? How does it work ? Is it exist at all ? ... ... I DO NOT KNOW. ![]() It was written about people after an ACL tear should have mental support as well. I DO AGREE, I totally agree. Of course I only can start from me, but I'm sure that a many would be on the same opinion just like me : This is a really hard, hopeless-helpless, difficult and painful situation . " The recovery from an ACL reconstruction is a long road. The ACL injured athlete requires attention to not only their physical needs during the recovery process, but their emotional and psychological needs as well." * "Sure, an ACL tear is physically painful, the rehab is long and gruesome and extremely frustrating at times. But the physical pain is nothing compared to the emotional one. Athletes identify themselves by the capabilities of their bodies, and when they tear an ACL their body fails them." * * Source : Recovery from ACL Surgery : The Psychological ComponentL by Howard J. Luks, MD (click here) ![]() To get back to the personal part... I'm almost 8 months post-op and 9 months post-injury by now, but I'm still struggling with the consequences, with the disabilities and the pain... I have a hard time with life. I have a hard time with life so long by now and I'm not sure I can do it anymore. I am not speaking about suicidal thoughts, not at all. I'm just tired of still being in this situation. I'm tired of being the one with knee pain, to being the one who have difficulties even with walking.I'm tired of going to PT that doesn't even seems to be helpful lately. I'm tired of these crackings and so on...
Maybe the worst part of it that I can't even see the end.

AuthorNowadays, thanks to the internet everybody have access to nearly unlimited information.That's why I've decided at my 2 second week living with ACL injury that I'll start a blog to share my personal experiences, my days, my view, thoughts and feelings with all of you. It might be useful or even a little interesting as well. Categories
