Got the radiology report today.
Knee's kind of destroyed.
- ACL rupture
-MCL grade 2 sprain
-LCL grade 2 sprain
-Lateral Meniscus tear
Lot of joint effusion too according to the report, probably from the bone contusion in conjunction with the injured ligaments. Indefinite surgery in the future (ortho consult next week), any personal thoughts on this?
The MCL and LCL will probably heal on their own, anything I can do to help expedite the healing process? I'm rehabbing aggressively, any supplement you think can benefit?
I know some of this connective tissue is avascular so supplements aren't doing much lol
I'm avoiding any frankenstein like protocols us guys like doing on ourselves to heal.
Appreciate your thoughts on this. Pretty bummed about this, but also pretty hopeful because I was walking, carrying groceries, and unracking 45 lb plates in the gym before knowing this lol ...
I'm 24 years old, and fully intend to squat and leg press for 3-4 more decades
Thanks again!
