Oh No! Not Again!

Last August I tore my MCL and ACL(playing hockey), had surgery, have been rehabbing myself to death ever since. I was on crutches from the end of August until about 6 weeks ago, finally was able to start back at the gym and starting to get back to normal.

Soooo......today, what happens I am going down the stairs and at the bottom of the stairs is a mat that was outside (DH brought in to put in the basement for the summer), I step off the last step with my good leg and the mat slides, I fall and twist my knee exactly the same darned way that I did last August I couldn't move and just laid there crying! I have been nursing it all evening, up with ice etc. and it is very sore, hopefully I haven't done anything terribly wrong. I am just disgusted with myself and feeling pretty bummed out to say the least! Thanks for letting me complain(although I may not be finished)!

Yikes, i feel for you. i just tore my acl in a car accident last month, no surgery for me though... going to physical therapy. I hope it starts feeling better for you, it hurts.. I know.

I'll be thinking about you. I ruptured a ligament in my ankle. It was 14 months before I had an MRI. I had surgery on it a few months later. It's been another year and I have these big thick permanent stitches that drive me crazy. Hope you haven't done anything that needs repair.
