Who here just had ACL surgery?

[Sharp shooter]

I have had both knees with full acl reconstruction. Left was patella tendon and the right was ham string tendon. If you are going cadaver tendon the recovery is far less pain and quicker recovery.
Make sure you keep the ice machine working and the movement machine on for as long as u can stand it.

The told me 6 to 9 months and I don't have a motion machine....

show us your car man!

I've been told by 9 months I should be able to do sports again....just in time to get my other knee done, needs total replacement.

I have a freind that I ski with in Mammoth. The doctor told her due to her age 52 that she was a little old to have surgery. She just wears a brace and skiis just fine. At your age why did you choose the surgery.?

I've not had an ACL in my right knee since 1979 and have lived pretty normal. Wore braces to ski but went from black diamonds to green hills, play golf and racketball wearing a sleeve. Could no longer play soccer. Now loosing the stability in the second knee I'm pretty lame and can't do most of thoose things anymore.
Left knee is healthy other than this newly ruptured acl so its best to fix it before I fuck it up worse.
Right knee is on the schedule for full replacement due to it being bone on bone and arthitis.

Hey Zig,

No ACL here but plenty of knee surgeries (7) and long recovery experience.......gimme a call and I'll give you some tips on the physio stuff. At a minimum we can drink some wine and compare scars
