Hi there,
Sorry for the lack of details.
I'm 5 weeks post-injury, MRI scan next week, but me and physio pretty sure its ACL tear, Im not following a specific protocol but a physio is overseeing the rehab, I'm not even sure how it works from here, does an orthopaedic surgeon look at my MRI and prescribe a protocol? I will be managing this without surgery regardless. I've been working my ass of at rehab in gym/pool every day etc, but not working too hard on core strength (should probably focus a little more on that...). The reason I ask about jogging (jogging in straight lines, its my only sport, I don't play nor wish to play other sports) is that I have SLE and the muscles around some of my joints tend to get a bit weak and my nightly jog is the one thing that keeps them strong. But the physio said I wasn't allowed to jog right now (Next physio appointment = next week). I'm just wondering if it will be months b4 I can jog again, also the feeling of instability when I turn (even slowly) in walking, is that something that will never go away or will it decrease the more I work on proprioception, I'm ok walking in straight lines but cannot turn I have to pivot on the good leg, and that's not improved at all...
Also despite slight improvements, (I no longer feel that I'm going one way and everything below the knee is going another) will I always have a "dodgy knee"? Everyone keeps talking about rehab but how much of a recovery will I be able to make and will it ever feel "normal"?
