A.C.L Tear, how long to heal?

Okay, so I was playing volleyball and the set was very close to the net. I still attempted the hit & I ended up falling. My knee popped out of place & then popped back in. I ended up getting an M.R.I and they told me I tore my A.C.L and have to get surgery. My coach said that he has seen this happen 25 times and everytime it has taken 6 to 9months to heal. Other have said a minimum of 6 weeks. Volleyball is my life. It being almost April, if the coach is right, I will loose my whole year making it hard to get a scholarship. Anyone who has had this happen to them, I would like to know how long it took to heal. I’m scared to death I will loose my year. help!

Answer #1

Your Health/proper healing is most important and must be the priority - if ignored or you try to do too much too soon, you could risk having pain there the rest of your life…I wish you the best !!

Answer #2

Owww sounds VERY sore…hope your ok

Yeh I think your health is more important at the moment though I understand it must be very upsetting for you to lose your whole year…but really, if you go back to sport to soon after surgery then your knee wouldnt have healed properly and it will make it worse.

My friend done something like this to her knee and now she cant take p.e at school and shes a really sporty person so its really upsetting for her as she cant do football or running.
