PTSD following ACL injury?
Does anyone here have any knowledge or experience concerning trauma after ACL injury, when going back to sport? I had a skiing accident in Jan 2019, got surgery in June 2019, and next week (2 years post-accident) I am going skiing again for the first time. Lately my mind has been going crazy about it, I get anxious and experience some kind of “fake” pain and being injured in my knee (and my spine!). I can really feel the pain in my body, like something has cracked or been torn completely, although I know this “pain” is only in my head. And that makes me really scared to go out there again.
Any advice on how to cope is appreciated…
Yes, it’s been 2 years since my injury and I still experience high anxiety about re-injury.
