About

Hello and Welcome.

Thank you for visiting my ACL Recovery blog. My name is Shane, I live in Ireland and I'm in my mid 20s. I unfortunately suffered a devastating Knee Injury, rupturing my Anterior Cruciate Ligament while playing Sport. The Injury meant I required surgery to help correct the damaged ligament in my knee. This is my journey from injury to returning to sport.

Why I'm writing this Blog

After being injured I found myself searching online looking for answers to questions like How bad is my Injury? Do I need Surgery? And How long and painful would the rehabilitation be? I was bombarded with Medical Journals and Physiotherapist Report, and while all of the information was helpful I needed to hear from someone who has experience this first hand, someone who has faced the struggles head on and someone who can tell me the TRUTH about what's to expect from this Injury. But through my research I found very little information from this perspective. So, I decided to start my own Blog and write directly to each reader from my point of view, giving you the reader a sense of understand of all trials and tribulations you may experience through this journey.



What to Expect from this Blog

  • Inform you of What the ACL is, Where it's located and How it works.
  • If you need Surgery and how much it may Cost.
  • The Physical & Mental challenges you will face in the Weeks after Surgery.
  • Photos of my knee week by week and it's progression.
  • And much more.........

I hope this Blog can provide you with the information that helps you recover from this awful Injury.
