Message: [QUOTE="oldguy, post: 466624, member: 16965"] I popped the ACL and ripped both the MCL and Lat at DW so I am into the recovery now. My surgeon wants me to get the rips healed and strengthen the whole knee before he looks at surgery. For reconstruction he prefers taking a piece of hamstring to form the ACL. I am not sure if this is a newer procedure or if I misunderstood him (?) but I will ask further on Wed when I see him. He was the highest recommended in the area and is responsible for 3 Pro athletic teams in Milwaukee so I trust him to be up to date. Also in PT don't mask the pain- I agree that pain is a part of recovery but its purpose is also self preservation to prevent ytou from going way to far. Yes I work to the pain threshold I have established and rest at that point. [/QUOTE]
