I also blew my acl bout 4 years ago, and haven't had any problems with it since then. I did not get surgery, as I did not have health insurance at the time, and it would of costed over 15,000. It hurt for appr. a month or 2, and after that, I had full range of motion and it rarely hurts, cept when it rains.... lol
I have had 2 buddies with blown acl's, and went and recieved surgery, and both have blow it again(one buddy 3 times)! So, it kind of seems to me, that after surgery it may be more weak..... just my .10 cents.

yeah well after facing reality.. Im prolly gonna have it, Its just a SHOCK and Ive heard the stories and recovery times and such.. It wont be so bad I went riding lastnight and the vibration from the bike killed it, It hurt by the middle of the night, but I had to get my freeway **** in. I can do standups and left pegs.. just no ballarinas and ball drops, or combos..... gotta keep it simple cause its still kinda im-mobile and weak.. but a month of physical therepy (which I start today) is gonna make it stronger....then I thing that after my bone contusions heal the DR. said it would be time for the knife... I wish I had the video camera, cause when she said " your ACL is torn and surgery is what...." I hit the DR's table and passed out... just the thing I needed to hear to ruin my day... that will be surgery # 3 for 2003. 1st motorcycle related... but it wont stop me.. Ill be back by FEB for stuntwars or MARCH for DAYTONA.... thats the GOAL! everyone be safe.. I tore it doing a simple ape hanger I have done many of times... sometimes ya never know which one it will be. ride safe!
