Re: [RC] [RC] 2 for one Special --Acl reconstruction - Debbie KirchnerI had ACL surgury.. it was very painful.. they used my Tendon in my knee to fix the ACL.. I have 2 screws in my knee and when the weather changes, I hurt... I had a Football sports Orthopedic DR do it... he had worked for the Miami Dolphins for years.. and was he ever good looking... it was painful... oh, was it painful... stay ahead of the pain afterward, use the pain meds a lot at first.. cause if the pain gets going, oh la la.. it stays for a long time.. I went home after about 4 days, that was hard, I was in bed a lot for a few weeks... it was a long, painful recovery... but I was back riding at some point, I took lessons with my Daughter, I think after 3 months on really easy horses, I had my right leg done.. I found it difficult to que with my leg, my muscles did not work right for a while... so be prepared for getting them strong again.... I am glad I did it, I had been living with a bad knee though for 20 years so was use to it... I do not think I would have the surgery again... my body never did return to the presurgery condition I was in... Before the surgery, I could rollerblade a lot, and I flew on the trails.. I bladed from Douglas to Pine island and back in an hour and 22 minutes, I think it is 8 miles one way..the trail is along an old railroad bed... I am not in that condition anymore... but man do I wish I was... so watch what you eat, and do all your exercises...
