[QUOTE="hebegebes, post: 292133, member: 25476"]
This sucks.  A little over three weeks ago I low-sided in a third gear right hand corner.  My right leg folded under me and because of the strength of my Alpinestars all the twisting forces that would have been expended on my ankle and knee were concentrated on the knee only.  You guessed it - no knee braces.  The knee area immediately went numb and because I felt hardly any pain I thought I would be in the clear after a couple of weeks of healing.  WRONG.  Today I went in to see the orthopedist because the MRI I had performed a week ago was ready.  Here's the great news:  partially tore MCL, partially tore ACL, damaged medial meniscus, and bone bruising.

The doctor recommended surgery, of course.  Anyone else have any opinions or experience with this group of injuries?  He said it would be four to six months after the surgery that I would be 100%!  Am I looking at a half year or more before I can ride again?  Thanks for any help you can provide.
