Had a complete tear of the right acl while skiing in February. Oddly it never really hurt (even when it happened, though I felt a pop) but the knee was very unstable and it was difficult to fully straighten the leg. Today will be day one of a long PT/rehab program. Really miss running, had to drop out of some big events, and now I expect to work hard and hope to get back to where I was before.
Would love to hear from those of you who have been through this or are involved in the treatment (either surgery or post-op recovery and PT). Searching texags, I know wangus has been through this a couple of times and he plays soccer, climbs mountains, and runs marathons. That's rather encouraging, though he's a much younger man than I.
Watched lots of videos of surgery on youtube...fascinating stuff.
