HarvDog Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Re: Well I did it again UGH! That's sucks man! Hope it isn't torn. My son has had two knee surgeries for his ACL in the past 2 years. No fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxStarr Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Re: Well I did it again Two words for you ... physical therapy. I had the surgery about 10 years ago and then, about a year after surgery, I was jumping on the trampoline with my friends little girl and there she went again. Apparently when the doctor said I could do anything I wanted he did not understand the depth of my stupidity. Anyway, did not have surgery the second time I just went to therapy to strengthen the muscles around the knee and all is well. Good luck ... hope it is well before hunting season.

TxStarr Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Re: Well I did it again Get a second opinion before you have surgery. I did not the first time and later found out my Dr. liked to operate. My friend went to a different doc and got better with therapy. So, I went the therapy route the second time. I still do some of the exercises to keep the knee strong and am more careful with it when I am out in the woods. Let us know how it turns out.

tallone Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Re: Well I did it again One thing about the acl it won't heal itself once it's torn it's torn and you've lost a lot of the stability in your knee you can stregthen the muscles around it but the first time you jump off something it will remind you quick. I've had two replacements on the same knee and I thought I could live with not getting it fixed and waiting a long time but it bit me one to many times and I got the surgery. Get it done as soon as you can so you can be ready to hunt just remember the most important part.. physical therapy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
