[QUOTE="Cisco43, post: 326803, member: 30476"] Hang tough! I feel your pain! I'm recovering from ACL reconstruction as we type. I tore my left ACL in half on Feb. 19, I really had no idea what I did to myself and what I was in for. I just figured after a week or two I would be back in the saddle. The next day I went to an orthopedic surgeon the next day and he told me the bad news. My two options where deal with a bum knee that will be unstable for life or have ACL reconstruction and (hopefully) get back to normal. Well after talking with friends and researching info online I decided to opt for the surgery. I started PT one week after the injury and researched for a good orthopedic surgeon. I ended up going to PT for a total of four weeks before the surgery. My surgeon highly recommended getting a fully range of motion before the surgery. On April 2, I had arthroscopy ACL reconstruction with an autograph, which consisted of harvesting the central third of my pattellar tendon. After the surgery the first 48 hour was the worst of it. You basically need to take at least a week off of work and limit yourself to bed rest. Following the first two day you can start to get around a little. I’m at PT once again and I’m starting to see an improvement. Yesterday was the three week mark from surgery and each day is getting better and better. From what I’m hearing it’s going to take 3 to 6 months to get back to some activities, but probably 6 months to a 1 year to really feel myself again. I hope I informed you of one of your possible options, but ultimately you need make your own decision. This was my first injury and it has been quite an experience. I’m really anxious to get back out there once again and do the things I love. If you have any questions drop me an e-mail. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
