Have any athletes here had to have surgery to repair an injury?

Personally I've only had non surgery injuries. But a friend of mine who plays soccer very seriously had to get knee surgery. It did help him in his case.

He went from being afraid of never being able to play again to being one of the top players on his team at Mt Olive

Tore my hamstring a few times, wasn't bad at football, but could never be very good with the injuries I had, surgery could help for a while but never strengthened them so constantly had the same issue.

Friend of mine had something broken in his back from a failed parachute landing, had to have surgery, but he's still doing backflips now so I'd say that it helped

Nope. Only had one surgery, but it wasn’t related to injuries or athletics.

Not a professional!
After 6 years decided to go ally have ACL reconstruction. Helped but joint will never be as good as before.

Thankfully nothing fitness related yet that needed surgery to fix 😅

I haven’t, but I know lots of my buddies have. Depends on the injury, but for the more minor shit most of them wish they’d just left it alone

No surgeries, just broken bones that for the most part healed fine. I still get steroid injections in my lower back but that’s it.

I was a high performance cyclist and luckily had no injuries that required surgery,,,

Yes, I tore my ACL skiing and had to have surgery and a year of PT. No more skiing for me.
