[RC] torn acl - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Susie enduroqueen@xxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

Just my .02:  Surgery has come a LONG way in recent years, especially 
acl/mcl/meniscus and hip and knee replacements with better techniques, recovery 
is usually quicker with no long lasting side affects.  That said, however, 
surgery is surgery.  There are always risks and surgery for one person doesn't 
always warrant the same results for another person with the same surgeon. Get 
second/third opinions.  Decide yourself what is right for you at that time. If 
you opt for surgery, go into surgery as strong as you can (strengthening the 
quadriceps/hamstrings as recommended, either through aerobic, weight and/or 
balance exercises).  It will definitely make a positive difference in your 
recovery. Good luck!
