Talked with a friend Monday, who has had one done. Per him, he said it was difficult, but partly because when asked how active and fit he was he told them pretty fit. He is pretty active and fit, but not a professional athlete.
Question was asked due to removing part of his hamstring tissue to replace the ACL instead of using a cadaver's.
He reports those older than him who used a cadaver's were well ahead of him in the recovery process, and his recovery was long and difficult.
That's all I have, but understand now why I talked with him and it's been 8 years since we talked. Per his results, use a cadaver's tissue.

I have had several surgeries on my knees including MCL, ACL, Meniscus...
I did the ACL at 42 (3 years ago). It was long rehab and pretty gnarly. Having said that I could not have hunted like do without it.
If your knee is rock bottom you should do it for sure...

Thanks for the replies. Right now, I can't climb stairs without a hand rail or something to lean on. I feel my knee shifting a lot if I take long strides as well. So for me, surgery it is. Will update once it's all said and done. Yes definitely update us

I've rehabed hundreds of acls. If you have any specific questions pm me I'll give you my num and talk to you about what to expect and what you will go through. Have to have lots of patience.

I blew my knee out in highschool. Acl, Patela, partial mcl, partial meniscus. I've never encountered a pain quite like 4 hours out of surgery and having them bend your knee for you. I passed out cold. Also saw nfl players cry several times in the pt room. I spent 5 months of twice a day pt excercises by myself. Plus 4 days a week with a therapist. After 5 months I spent another 4 doing once a day pt by myself. Played the next season with a brace. 8 years later, I have a rock solid knee, probably stronger than it was before. I also have partial numbness in it, a damn good scar, and it aches when it rains.
The key to recovery from acl surgery is sticking to your pt religiously. If you don't you won't ever regain full motion. I would plan on about two weeks out of work, another 3 to 5 after that on crutches. A while after that in an immobilizer brace.
With just an acl your recovery should be slightly better depending on your level of fitness. Keep In mind, I was in great shape and young during all of this.
Lyle Cain did my surgery. He is the best knee guy in the nation. I would recommend using him, since you are so close. He's also a turkey hunter.

My sister had hers done two years ago by Dr. Andrews' group in Gulf Breeze. She got a donor ACL from a 25 year old guy who was killed in a motorcycle accident. Her rehad was very quick, and she was back to normal in a short order of time.
Choose your surgeon wisely, and you'll have much less problems.

I've had both knees done, the first in 1989 by Andrews. It doesn't give me any trouble to this day. Do your rehab and follow the therapists orders and you will be fine.

Who's had their ACL reconstructed? How bad was the recovery? Who did your surgery? How long before you went back to work? Dr Ray Fambrough in Huntsville did my first ACL reconstruction in 1993 and it eventually failed. Dr Troy Layton/Huntsville did the second ACL reconstruction in 2000 and did a fantastic job. The knee is strong and I'm able to do a 450lb squat with it. I won't lie, the pain was pretty bad. I went back to work within 2 weeks both times but it was difficult to work because of the pain. It was like a deep toothache, throbbing incessantly for 6 months. If you do this DO ALL OF THE PHYSICAL THERAPY AND WHEN THEY ARE DONE WITH YOU KEEP DOING IT ... FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

These days ACL is no big deal. Arthroscopic. Use your patellar tendon. They put in a pain numbing agent into your femoral nerve before you wake up connected to a bottle of the stuff taped to your shoulder which keeps it numb for four days and after that it is no big deal.
I've had three knee jobs due to the greatest sport of all - motocross. First two were old fashion cut you wide open all the way to the bone with ten inch long incision. That's bad. And they casted you back then too.
Had one in 2010 the modern way described above on a Thursday and I was back at work the next Monday. Off crutches within two months.

Update:
Had surgery today. Pain has been minimal so far. They put me in a knee immobilizer so I don't know about flexibility yet. I have been able to bear some weight on the leg using crutches. According to doc, I should be good to go for opening day of gun season. I start PT in the morning. Will update as PT progresses. Prayers for you in the morning. When I've done PT I saw a lot of the knee guys almost in tears. No fun, but has to be done.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.
