I had an ACL tear of my own a long time ago, before I ever started BJJ. I'd take Brandon's advice, and do what they tell you for rehab, plus don't worry about coming back too soon. You WILL get frustrated just sitting around, but you have to understand that these injuries take time to heal. Also, make sure you tell your doctors that you train BJJ so they know exactly what you want to get back into and give you a proper time frame of rehab.

I've had some nagging knee issues recently as well, and it's always in the back of my mind mostly because they haven't been MRI'd or required surgery. Even though this is a serious injury, you're lucky that you have surgery and rehab to fall back on so you know exactly what you need to do to heal it.

My advice is two-fold:

1. Take the rehab seriously. If they tell you to do 20 reps, do 25.

2. Don't come back too early. You're young and you have plenty of time to train. Don't get sidelined with another injury because you wanted to come back a month early.

I definitely will. I've only been out a couple months and i have no desire to be back yet or even soon because it hurts to do all the little movements that are so important and i don't want it affecting me.

You are now a card carrying member of the Fucked Up Knee Club.. WELCOME!!!

It does go quick though, Josh. And like Brandon said, take PT/rehab seriously.

Fuck rehab put some Tussin on that shit and you will be fine. That's what I did and I'm healed 20% after two years.

Its a good club. You'll be fine. Just don't turn into a pile of shit like I did when I was out and put on 35lbs.
