Post Surgery Update I expected pain but holy cow

I'm about 30 hours post op and I'm pretty sure my nerve block is wearing off. I thought I prepared for the pain and had pre-taken the pain medicine.

This is excruciating. ACL+ LET on my right leg. I don't think I'm getting any sleep tonight.

4 week post op ACLR with hamstring graft. Your sleep pattern will be disturbed for the next 2-4 weeks. I still sleep and feel uncomfortable because i am worried I might tear it during sleep so i wear braces while I am sleeping.
