I'm a nurse and should probably have a good idea how the recovery should go, but I've not seen many acls. Who's had their ACL reconstructed? How bad was the recovery? Who did your surgery? How long before you went back to work?
I tore mine on July 4th and have been limping along ever since. Finally got the ortho to take a look today and he told me to get it fixed with surgery or limp...my choice.
Let's hear your stories...
Tore mine four years ago also partially tore my MCL too. I was told the same thing by my ortho. I never had the surgery all though I am considering it just because it is hampering my training, but as far as everyday life it does not really bother me anymore. It took about a year for all the pain and stiffness to go away though. I am interested in the responses to because if it sounds easy I will definitely have it done. I sure miss heavy squats and sprints
