Marina x daughter!reader gets hurt during a soccer game. She’s obsessed with the sport lives and breathes it. So when she gets injured it’s her ACL( care ending injury)

ᕚ---ᕘ

A painful outcry, which went through the marrow and bones of Carina and Maya´s body and drove a shiver down their backs, caused the doctor and the firefighter to run onto the field after a brief shock. Their daughter had clashed with her opponent, been knocked off her feet and thrown a few centimeters through the air.

After that, you hit the ground and your loud scream echoed across the soccer field. It was completely silent, the whistle sounding a break while not a sound could be heard from the fans. All eyes were on you on the floor, a small team of doctors already squatting with you, while you were writhing on the floor, your face contorted in pain.

All your fellow players, even the opponents, had gathered in a small circle around you and the doctors while Carina and Maya had pushed themselves through the crowd and got on their knees next to you. They talked to you softly and watched in shock as you held your knee frantically and it was already beginning to swell under your fingers.

"Hey baby. Stop moving, it is alright. We are here," the blonde said softly, staring down at you in shock. You seemed to despair of the pain, slightly opening your shiny, tearful eyes while you mumbled incoherent whines. You looked between your mothers before the brunette found her words. "What hurts? Can you tell me that?"

Without words and with a face turning red from pain, you pointed to your knee joint, which took on a bluish discoloration and on which the doctors were already touching around. Maya gently stroked your hair and rested her hand on your shoulder while trying to calm you down with soothing words. "The doctors are doing what they can, but you can expect that you will not be able to play today and we are going to the hospital instead."

"No! No. We have to win the game! I have to play,"

Your mothers gave you a slightly annoyed look and shook their head hastily. How could you think of winning a stupid game while lying on the floor in unnatural pain? "Bella, non c'è modo. You are injured and we will not allow your addiction to the game to cause further injury." it burst out on the Italian and you stared at her defeated.

Your mother was right and you could not persuade the two rock-hard women anyway - you could not play like that.

With a firm grip under your armpits, Maya had clawed you and pulled you up, Carina carefully supported your balance with two hands on your shoulder blades. "Can you put your foot down?" a small but nice question that made you say no when you tried to do so. "No, it hurts so terribly!" you replied whimpering and leaned on the blonde's shoulder.

"Ti portiamo in ospedale. Maya? Hospital. It is probably the anterior cruciate ligament, it needs treatment." nodding, she pulled you closer to her. With quick steps, you both walked and hobbled down the muddy path from the soccer field until you reached the Italian's parked Porsche.

ᕚ---ᕘ

It had been two days since you were discharged from the hospital. As revealed by an X-ray, this was not just a simple injury, but a serious one that caused problems. Your mother was right and you really did destroy your anterior curciate ligament as a result of your accident and had to have surgery.

Now you were lying on the couch at home, your leg propped up on three pillows, while your favorite show was playing that you were not even paying attention to. Instead, you dwell on your thoughts.

Anything could have happened. Everything, but not that. It was the penultimate game of the season and now you had destroyed your knee in the decisive game for the final, which meant a four-month break for you. Now you could not attend such a big event and play for the cup.

"That is bewitched!" you shouted and slammed your fist angrily on the pillow that lay on your lower stomach. The blonde and brunette who had taken time off work to take care of you, quickly moving over to you and ignored the washing machine calling for them.

"Honey, what do you mean?" Carina whispered softly to you and gently ran her fingers through your hair. Tears wet your cheeks and you let out a soft sob, the pain brewing with the feeling of failure inside you. "I have failed."

"Hey, you did not fail. You are injured and that has nothing to do with failure. You will still get the trophy, I promise you that," the blonde continued the conversation and pressed a big kiss on your head, her hand softly touching your thigh and caressing it. Her voice was still a whisper.

A simple whisper that meant so much to you.

"But I let you down. You ran a 10,000 meter sprint with a sprained ankle and won the gold medal. And me? I just fell on the floor and now I have…this" you admitted, pointing to your braced knee. The last few weeks, the last few months have been so beautiful. Maya, Carina and you, were looking forward to your soccer game and had imagined what it would be like to celebrate your beaming face with the trophy in your hand.

But now everything had gone differently and you were lying here on the dreary couch and all hopes were destroyed.

Two horrified and deeply saddened faces exhaled loudly and were silent for a brief moment while they looked down dejectedly. You had no reason to compare yourself to Maya, you were unique in your own way and they hated that they could not take your worries away. "I beg you, Y/n.. you are not a failure." the Italian broke the silence and looked at you invitingly.

"Look at me little one," the blonde said cautiously, bending slightly over you and always looking into your eyes. You looked up at her questioningly, blue eyes boring into yours. "Neither Carina nor I are disappointed in you. Rather, we are happy that you did not injure yourself worse."

You nodded cautiously, holding back your words. The blonde smiled and got up from her seat before disappearing again. "Mom?" you called after her as she was about to disappear into the bathroom and she turned around questioningly. You held up the already heated ice pack. "Can you get me some new ice? It's starting to hurt again."

"An ice pack for the princess with extra painkillers and vanilla ice cream is coming right away!" she said curtly and hurriedly walked towards the kitchen. A few minutes later she came back two her wive and you with all the things and sat down next to you again. "Now back off. We are going to watch a horror movie to distract you a little," she giggled, grabbing the remote control. With a little nudge on your nose, you pressed yourself to the blondes side and rested your head on her chest.

"Se metti un film horror e lo guardi con lei, sei una donna divorziata."

ok now that i've had a day to get my panicky moping out of the way. here's whats going on with stellina (writing down for my own reference but also bc i am a chronic pet over-sharer):

yesterday morning when i got out of bed she came out of her crate and was walking on 3 legs, completely non weight bearing on her right rear. i thought maybe her foot had just fallen asleep but when it didn't improve after a few minutes i got very concerned. i did a quick check and she seemed resistant to me bending that knee but otherwise didn't show any discomfort.

and here's the thing about stellina - i love her so much, but she is kind of a pussy. she has a very low tolerance for stress or pain - at the first sign of discomfort, she will go tuck herself into her crate and stay there. she is NOT stoic. when she fucked up her tendon as a puppy, she yelped and went into her crate and didn't leave for a week. but knowing this... she was acting completely normal, even while on 3 legs. tail wagging, alert, calm, totally at ease. which told me that while clearly her leg was not right, she was also not in pain or distress.

after a few minutes she had progressed to toe-touching lame instead of fully holding it up, so i was able to coax her down the stairs and then into the yard. after another minute she was limping, but bearing weight. again, acting normal: sniffing around, went potty, even played with kep. i took them both for a short leash walk and by the end of it she had pottied, scent marked, sniffed, etc totally normal, and only had a very slight limp by this point. cool, crisis averted!

i let them back inside and she went and layed down for a few minutes while i got their food ready. but when i called them over to come eat, she was non-weight bearing again. and again, same pattern: it would gradually improve after a few minutes of exercise, but sitting/laying down for any period of time would make it stiffen right back up.

i ended up taking her to my work's urgent care office to get looked at. the vet did a manipulation test of her knee and said that she noticed two things. first, that her patella (knee) was very slightly loose (patella laxity is graded on a 0-4 scale, with 0 being normal not-moving knees, and 4 being "this dog's kneecap has left the building." vet said stellina's was like a 0.5 - very slightly loose). second, she was able to slightly move her leg sideways in a way that you shouldn't be able to if your CCL (ACL in ppl - the ligament that keeps your knee vertically aligned basically) is intact. so her suspicion was that stellina's right CCL has a partial tear, likely due to the slight movement in her patellas slowly increasing friction on the CCL.

she also tested her left leg and said while that patella is also very, very slightly loose, there's no sign of CCL damage on that leg yet. however about 60% of dogs who injure on CCL also injure the other within a few years.

she sent her home on some NSAIDs and requested a consult with the surgery department. the good news is that after a single dose of the meds, stellina is acting like 95% better - still has some resistance if i bend her knee, but is walking without lameness and still acting very normal.

so right now, we're waiting for a consult with the surgeon so she can do an exam and either confirm the first vet's findings, find something else, and talk about options for treatment.

unfortunately once a CCL has been damaged, it can't repair itself. so assuming the surgeon agrees that there's CCL damage, it leaves us with the following options:

use NSAIDs, physical therapy, and restricted exercise for several weeks. hopefully this will let the tissue around the knee scar up/thicken enough that it creates a bit more stability in the knee. it doesn't fix the tear, and the CCL is still at risk of tearing more/rupturing in the future, but it may buy some more time - just impossible to say if that will be a month or two, or years.

go in and surgically repair the CCL before it has a chance to worsen or rupture. this is done with a TPLO surgery where they cut part of the leg bones and add a metal implant to stabilize. it's a very common surgery with a very high success rate, but it is expensive (at least $4-5k per knee) and has a long recovery period (6-8 weeks restricted exercise + 2-4 months rehab and building up muscle).

i'm trying not to get too ahead of myself on either option until we talk to the surgeon for their opinion first. on one hand, i don't want to put my dog through surgery, especially one with such a long recovery period - we've already done that when she fucked up her achilles, and it sucked. i hate the idea of signing her up for months of crate confinement and discomfort for an elective procedure. but on the other hand - if the CCL is torn, it's not going to fix itself. it seems stupid to just sit around and wait for it to rupture and become an emergency, especially if there's a chance that the other leg might go as well. if we do the surgery within the next month, she'd already be halfway through recovery by christmas time.

so yeah, that's where we are currently. hopefully we can talk with the surgeon this week and get a better idea of the options, and make a plan. i want to do whatever is in stellina's best interest, whatever that ends up being.

Just want to offer a little perspective against all the people fear-mongering about Gavi’s injury being “career ending”.

Florian Wirtz is the most obvious example of a recovery from a full ACL tear at a young age. He was 18 when it happened about a year ago and has come back without missing a beat. If people haven’t watched him they should, he’s really fantastic.

Within Barcelona both Xavi and Gundogan had ACL tears and have come back just as good if not better. Gundogan said himself that he may not be the same player after, but it doesn’t mean he’s worse, just different.

Two more players who suffered ACL tears very young are Darwin Nuñez (17) and Moises Caicedo (16) who have now gone on to play professionally in the Premier League and are doing very well currently. (Darwin’s habit of missing sitters has nothing to do with it).

Other examples of players include Leroy Sané and Virgil van Dijk who while taking a bit of time to come back to form are now doing very well again. Medical experts have claimed that it can take up to 2 years to get back to your level after an ACL injury due to mental blocks, so immediate form should not be seen as “the best you can be”. While of course we all want Gavi to come back better than ever straight away we must be patient and realise that he has an incredibly long career ahead of him and may not hit his prime till the later years regardless of the injury.

Players in the past who have gone on to have incredible careers following ACL tears include Alan Shearer (became the premier league top scorer) and Roberto Baggio. Baggio not only ruptured his ACL but also tore his meniscus yet went on to win a Ballon D’or. While Gavi has also got an “associated injury” with his lateral meniscus, that’s actually fairly routine with an ACL and nowhere did Barcelona say he had actually torn it.

There are many more examples both older e.g. Francesco Totti and more recent e.g. Federico Chiesa who have returned to form following their ACL injury.

Beyond the world of football many other athletes have also made a complete recovery and gone on to have incredible careers e.g. in the NBA.

While it’s completely valid to be very upset over the injury because the recovery is very painful, he’s so young, and he may return a different player, there is no need to despair. He will have top medical professionals at his side, be surrounded by others who know how to recover from injury, and the treatments and recovery chances have come on leaps and bounds since the likes of Shearer and even Xavi.

While there is a higher risk of re-injuring the ACL or having compensatory injuries, if the recovery is not rushed there is every chance he will be physically the same in most if not all departments. The areas most likely to be affected are explosiveness, speed and quick turns, but the first two Gavi has never particularly relied on and he can always adapt to the third. But in the cases of Wirtz and Sane they are still very agile, nimble players, while Xavi adapted to rely more on his tactical prowess, but either way have been successful.

The other aspect is mental such as a fear of re-injury. While we cannot say for sure that Gavi will not have this problem as he has never experienced an injury of the likes of this before, we have every reason to assume not. His teammates and coaches both in Barcelona and on the national team have always spoken of his mentality and fight, and that will prove particularly important now. Also, we are talking about the same kid who was sidelined age 11 because of a broken nose and immediately after his return threw himself into headers again. He has always shown he is not scared of pain and won’t let it hold him back, so he will hopefully apply this same mentality to what will surely be a difficult recovery.

Ultimately we will not know until after the surgery and even until he’s back or several years later how the injury will affect him. But he will be back and there’s every reason to believe he will make a full recovery or become a different but just as good player. We may even get to see more of the impeccable technique that he showcased in La Masia rather than being used partly as a workhorse as he has previously.

While the number of ACL injuries this season is completely horrible, it means Gavi is not the only one going through this journey. And to those on twitter and elsewhere trying to convince you that he won’t have a career after this, I doubt they think the same of Militao, Courtois, Mings, Pino and etc.

Sorry for the essay but we must not give up on Gavi and instead must support him and the team through this surely horrible time. This too shall pass and while we will miss him the time will pass by quicker than you expect.

First of all, thank you so much for this ❤️ reading it this morning genuinely made me feel so much better and I hope everyone here takes the time to read it, I promise it'll help you guys worry less.

Reading this and finding out about all these success stories after ACL injuries gave me much more hope. If so many others were able to overcome it then best believe our little warrior is very likely to do the same I have no doubt about it. Also, it's a relief to know that it mainly affects speed and explosiveness because Gavi has other strengths. And maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing for him to focus on technical abilities that we all know he excels at but the way coaches utilised him up until this point hindered their development. The thing about Gavi is that he excels at so many things so even if his injury affects one two or two aspects of his game he'd still have so many other qualities he's just that good. The main obstacle of this injury is the mental toll it could have on him but I have faith in his own strength and the incredible amount of love he's surrounded by to get him through it. Obviously he'll feel down for a while and is probably still in shock (hell even I still can't believe it I literally expect him to show up in barças training stories and then it hits me again) it's not easy but time heals everything and knowing him he'd do anything to get back to what he loves as soon as possible. He's a fighter, he's always been that way an injury no matter how serious wouldn't take that away from him. He'll be back. It might take a while for him to get back to his absolute best but he'll be back. He has all the time in the world, he's only 19. Now we just need him to take all the time he needs to recover completely and not rush anything.

How Does Physiotherapy Aid in the Recovery from Sports Injuries?

Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in the recovery and rehabilitation of sports injuries. 

Here’s how physiotherapy helps:

1. Pain Management

Modalities: Physiotherapists use various techniques such as ice/heat therapy, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and taping to reduce pain and inflammation.

Manual Therapy: Techniques like massage, joint mobilization, and soft tissue manipulation help reduce muscle tightness, spasms, and joint stiffness.

2. Restoring Movement and Flexibility

Stretching and Mobility Exercises: These exercises improve flexibility and restore normal range of motion, which is often restricted after an injury.

Manual Therapy: Helps restore proper joint movement and soft tissue flexibility, addressing limitations in mobility.

3. Strengthening

Exercise Programs: Physiotherapists design specific strength training exercises targeting weakened muscles due to the injury. This helps build muscle strength and improve endurance.

Core Strengthening: Strong core muscles are crucial for stability and injury prevention, especially for athletes.

4. Rehabilitation and Functional Training

Gradual Progression: After an injury, physiotherapy ensures a safe return to activity through gradual reintroduction of sports-specific movements. The goal is to help the athlete return to their sport with full functional capacity.

Sports-Specific Drills: Physiotherapists use exercises and drills that mimic the movements and demands of the sport, ensuring the athlete regains their functional ability.

5. Prevention of Further Injuries

Biomechanical Assessment: A physiotherapist can identify any faulty movement patterns or weaknesses that may predispose an athlete to future injuries. They then provide corrective exercises and advice.

Education: Physiotherapists educate athletes on warm-up routines, proper posture, and techniques that prevent injury.

6. Rehabilitation After Surgery

Post-Surgical Recovery: If surgery is required (for example, ligament repair or fracture management), physiotherapy helps with early mobilization, strength training, and gradual progression back to full activity.

Scar Tissue Management: After surgery, physiotherapists can help with reducing scar tissue formation, which may limit movement.

7. Sport-Specific Recovery

Tailored Programs: Depending on the sport and injury, physiotherapists customize treatment plans to address the unique needs of the athlete and the demands of their specific sport.

Return-to-Sport Protocols: Physiotherapists help guide the athlete through a structured return-to-sport program, ensuring they’re fully ready to perform at their best without risking re-injury.

8. Psychological Support

Mental Resilience: Injuries can also affect an athlete's mindset. Physiotherapists provide motivation, mental support, and encouragement, helping athletes stay focused on their recovery goals.

Common Sports Injuries Treated by Physiotherapists:

Sprains and strains

Tendonitis (e.g., rotator cuff, Achilles tendon)

Ligament injuries (e.g., ACL tear)

Fractures

Dislocations

Muscle tears

Overuse injuries (e.g., shin splints, runner’s knee)

Overall, physiotherapy helps athletes recover faster, regain full function, and return to their sport with less risk of future injuries.

The Silent Savior: How Dog Knee Braces Revolutionize Canine Mobility

Picture this: Bella, a spirited golden retriever, loved her daily adventures—chasing squirrels, leaping for frisbees, and bounding up hiking trails. But one fateful day, Bella started limping, her usual bounce replaced by a hesitant shuffle. A trip to the vet confirmed her owner’s fear—she had torn her ACL. Surgery was an option, but the vet suggested an unexpected ally first: a dog knee brace. What followed was a remarkable journey of recovery and resilience.

Understanding the Need for Dog Knee Braces

Every year, an estimated 1.2 million dogs in the United States undergo treatment for cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries, the canine equivalent of ACL tears in humans. While surgery is a common solution, it comes with significant costs (ranging from $2,000 to $5,000) and lengthy recovery periods. For many dogs, a dog knee brace offers a non-invasive, cost-effective alternative—or complements post-surgical recovery to speed up healing.

However, the magic of dog braces doesn’t end there. These orthopedic supports are increasingly used for conditions like arthritis, luxating patella, and even hip dysplasia, giving older or injured dogs a new lease on life.

What Most Websites Don’t Tell You

1. Knee Braces Can Prevent Injuries in Active Dogs

Most dog owners associate braces with injury treatment, but proactive use is a game-changer. If your dog is highly active, prone to leaping, or participates in agility sports, using a brace during high-impact activities can significantly reduce the risk of ligament tears.

2. Not All Braces Are Created Equal

Custom-made knee braces are tailored to your dog’s unique anatomy and provide superior support compared to off-the-shelf options. A 2023 study published in the Journal of Veterinary Orthopedics found that custom braces improved mobility in 87% of dogs within three months, compared to just 63% using generic models.

3. Braces Can Delay the Need for Surgery

For older dogs or those with pre-existing health conditions, surgery might not be an option. A well-fitted knee brace helps stabilize the joint, alleviating pain and slowing down degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis. This gives dogs a better quality of life without the risks associated with surgery.

The Science Behind Dog Knee Braces

Dog braces work by redistributing weight away from the injured or weak joint, allowing muscles and ligaments to heal without the strain of daily activity. Advanced designs include:

Neoprene padding for comfort and flexibility.

Adjustable straps to ensure a snug fit.

Joint hinges that mimic natural movement while providing support.

According to veterinary experts, combining braces with physical therapy can accelerate recovery by 25% to 30%, ensuring dogs regain their mobility faster.

Bella’s Happy Ending

After six months of wearing her custom knee brace, Bella was back to chasing squirrels and exploring trails with her owner. Her vet marveled at her recovery, noting how the brace had prevented further injury and allowed her body to heal naturally.

Final Thoughts

For dog owners in the USA, investing in a dog knee brace is more than a treatment option—it’s a commitment to your furry friend’s well-being. Whether as a preventive measure or a vital recovery tool, these braces are transforming how we care for our canine companions.

If your pup shows signs of limping, stiffness, or reduced activity, consult your vet about whether a knee brace could help. With modern advancements in orthopedic support, a brighter, more mobile future is just a strap away.

Why Knee Braces for Dogs Aren’t Just for Recovery

It’s a chilly morning, and Max, a spirited Golden Retriever, is racing around the backyard with his favorite squeaky toy. He leaps and bounds effortlessly, his energy seemingly boundless. But just a few months ago, things were very different. Max had undergone knee surgery after a torn ACL, and his recovery seemed uncertain. But his owner, Sarah, knew she had to do something to support him beyond the recovery process. That’s when she decided to invest in a dog knee brace. Today, Max’s joyful antics aren’t just thanks to surgery but because of the lasting benefits of wearing that brace every day.

Knee braces for dogs aren’t just for recovery—they’re an essential tool for maintaining long-term joint health and preventing further injury. Here’s why these braces should be part of your dog’s regular routine, even after healing from surgery.

Preventative Protection for Active Dogs

A dog knee brace isn’t only a post-surgery accessory; it’s a proactive solution to keep your dog’s knees in top shape. High-energy breeds or dogs with a tendency to overexert themselves, like Max, can experience wear and tear on their knees. Whether they’re jumping to catch a frisbee or running to greet you at the door, these activities can cause strain on their ligaments and joints. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), one in five dogs will experience joint issues in their lifetime, with knee problems being among the most common.

Knee braces help by offering additional stability and reducing stress on the knee joint. This support helps prevent injuries before they occur, especially in active dogs or those predisposed to conditions like osteoarthritis. In fact, using a knee brace for dogs can even extend the time before more invasive treatments, like surgery, are needed.

Sustaining Mobility in Senior Dogs

As dogs age, their mobility tends to decrease. Senior dogs, like elderly humans, often struggle with arthritis and joint pain, especially in the knees. A dog knee brace can provide much-needed relief by reducing discomfort during daily activities. According to a study published by the National Institutes of Health, approximately 20% of senior dogs suffer from arthritis, with knee joints being particularly vulnerable.

Using a knee brace can allow older dogs to maintain their independence and continue walking, climbing stairs, and playing with their owners. This kind of support can significantly improve the quality of life for dogs who would otherwise be limited by pain or stiffness.

Enhancing Post-Surgery Support and Reducing the Risk of Re-injury

While knee braces for dogs are essential during the recovery phase, they also play a crucial role in preventing re-injury. After surgery, dogs often return to their normal activities too soon, putting strain on their healing joints. A dog brace helps restrict excessive movement and promotes proper healing by limiting overexertion.

According to a study from the Journal of Veterinary Surgery, 10-20% of dogs that undergo ACL surgery experience a second injury within the first year of recovery. A knee brace for dogs offers an extra layer of protection and peace of mind during this critical time.

Support for Dogs with Pre-existing Conditions

Not all knee issues require surgery, but many dogs suffer from chronic conditions like luxating patellas, a common knee problem, especially in small breeds. In fact, about 7% of small breed dogs suffer from this condition. A knee brace can help manage these conditions by stabilizing the knee and reducing the pain associated with misaligned kneecaps.

In these cases, a dog knee brace acts as a non-invasive way to manage the condition and improve the dog’s daily comfort without resorting to surgery or medications.

Conclusion

Knee braces for dogs are not just a recovery tool; they’re an essential part of maintaining joint health and enhancing the overall quality of life. Whether your dog is recovering from surgery, dealing with arthritis, or simply needs extra support for an active lifestyle, a dog knee brace can make all the difference. Don’t wait for an injury to happen—be proactive in protecting your furry friend’s knees, and keep them moving happily for years to come.
