u/Ok-Individuality

To preface: I have a connective tissue disorder

I got my third ACLR in December and was 2.5 months out of surgery when a freak accident happened

I was "allowed to sleep without my brace" but was a little sketched out by it... but I did end up stopping sleeping with my brace.

I was on my partners side of the bed when in the middle of the night they rolled over onto my bent knee. I woke up out of a dead sleep hollering lol

Couldn't slep for three nights, after two weeks the symptoms were getting worse. Got a scan and sure enough the brand new acl that was put in was torn!

Dr said it was the craziest thing he's seen happen. Could you imagine waking up to your ACL being torn??
