RE: MCL Repair
I completely tore my acl playing soccer in Feb. this year. I had the acl
replaced with a donor ligament and they had to staple the mcl at the same
time. I had this done in March as I told the doctor that I had to be able
to ride a 50 at the Biltmore in May.
Well, I probably could have rode a 50 in May but unfortunately all my
horses came down with strangles and I ended up hobbling around a muddy barn
tending to sick horses instead.
Currently the knee I had repaired feels much better than my other knee. If
I could somehow convince my insurance to do my other knee I would.
But remember, for the entire operation to be a success you must do all the
excersises that your therapist prescribe and not over or under do them. To
do too much or too little are just as bad.
Good luck,
Suzanne

Have you had it repaired? I'm a candidate in the near future for a knee =

I had my MCL stapled together along with an ACL arthroscopic cleanup. =
It ached more than the ACL injury while healing, but it's fine now. No =

missing. I'm sure it's different for everyone and how they got injured, =
