Anyone have an ACL injury?

[tygab]

I have had ACL recon on the same knee twice. first was in 99, 2nd in 01. The first was due to a tae kwon do incident and the 2nd just flukey. Anyway the point of all this is I am probably more active than was in the several years leading up to surg 1, and it was completely worth it both times. I also still ski, this was key motivator for me to do the surgeries in the first place. My doc is not a brace believer and I never had one, and I've never felt the need for it.

but surgery is definitely a challenge and not something to be taken lightly. The second time around I knew exactly what to expect and I had a pretty great recovery since I knew all the PT routine and also that it was good for me to do it....

biking is absolutely great for stabilizing muscles, the quads. Yes, I do worry about it from time to time, but, it is just one thing of many that can go wrong when being active and engaged... or just being alive...

pm me if you want to know anything specific.
