| ACL injury - always get a second opinion
i had total reconstruction. Here is my story
I tore my knee playing soccer. I went to the emergency room and they said i would be ok 3 days later. Well a few days pass and i re-blow my knee. By the time i saw another docotr i tore it for a 3rd time. By the time i saw my doctor who gave me my surgery i tore it 4 times. I had to go through 3 months of pre-rehab-rehab in order to get swelling down and straighten the knee.
4 years later after that its not 100 straight, ive never been the same since because of my first doctor.
Your best bet is take the 6-7 months of being out of order and get it fixed completely. If i would have known early i would have been ok, ill regret it my entire life.
best advice in the world
GET A SECOND OPINION!!!!! ASAP...
first blow: knee on knee with a guy
second blow: walking out of KFC (restaurant) pivoting
third: getting a volley ball for my class (non-pivot, just normal walking)
forth: i dont remember it was so bad.
dont do what i did, get a second opinion. Some docs DONT KNOW ****.. if i was smart i would have sued my first doc.
i posted that to someone else.. Im more than willing to talk about ACL surgery. Any problems with your ACL, dont hesititate to ask.
