Message: [QUOTE="147leeman, post: 261186, member: 18627"] Every injury and ACL reconstruction is different depending on the person, but for my 1st ACL I came back quickly (2 months) and played 2 years of Div 1 soccer without a hitch. My running form was even better after surgery:) Just give it time and start chipping away at those 5k runs when you do run them. I was discouraged at first when running but soon realized it was me being out of shape and trying to run at my old times. I then started longer distances (5-8 mile) with slower 8 min/miles to improve my lung capacity and work on form. Slowly I brought down the mileage and brought up the intensity. Never experienced any pain though while running, cutting, and doing upper level plyometrics. Have you seen your doctor again and brought up these questions? Please share more! [/QUOTE]
