[QUOTE="carnage, post: 692937, member: 22286"] I tore my MCL and severed the ACL back on July 6th. I had acl reconstructive surgery on 8/11. I was back on my bike for the first time this weekend 11/22 with the help of a CTI2 brace. The recovery period has been up and down to be honest. I was in PT the day after surgery, by day two was off of pain meds but kept taking the advil for swelling. Within a week I was walking with the aid of crutches and without at about the two week mark. For the first six weeks my recovery was fast and I gained most all my flex and alot of strength back. I was walking around fine without any kind of post-op brace at the five week mark. I started having problems with the patella at around week 7 or 8 and that set me back awhile. The problem was resolved and I'm now at 15 weeks and recovering strong. Like I said, I went riding this past weekend and meant to take it easy. Well, that didn't happen and I put the knee through a test and it survived just fine. No major swelling of any kind and only a little sore the next day. Mainly meniscus issues. I don't feel I'm ready to go racing again at this point or play sports yet. But, I should be good to go at the 6 to 9 month mark. Keep in mind I'm a bit older than your son to. He should do just fine. Just don't let him slack on the PT. [/QUOTE]
