[QUOTE="TM-Frank, post: 692335, member: 20961"] I had a left knee injury on the 2nd of August in which I broke a little piece off the tibia head, tore both mensicus and the ACL. Surgery with a new ACL was in mid august. Into hospital on wednesday, out of hospital friday afternoon. Don't worry about pain. Right after surgery they will give you pain killers (I had a cool fully-automatic electronic pump attached to my upper tigh which constantly delivered the stuff into my venes). When I left hospital they supplied me with pain killer pills, which I didn't need anymore after three or four days and before that only during night time. The doctor told me to walk on crutches for 14 days and to wear a brace (limting movement to 0°/90°) for six weeks. He said I should put only little weight on the left leg and support mywalking with the crutches. After 8 days I put the crutches away and after 3 weeks I stopped wearing the brace. A very slow walk, without limping, was possible after 14 days or so, and constantly getting better. Very light jogging after 4 or 5 weeks. Right after leaving the hospital I started visiting a physio-therapist three times a week for the duration of six or seven weeks. There I went on Step-Machine, Training-Bicycle, Massages, gymnastics, electro-shocks - all the torture stuff. These training-sessions were the only occasion on which real pain occured. After 2 months I had nearly complete movability again. I forced myself to wait another month and then went riding again yesterday. All fine so far. [/QUOTE]
