Hi

Its been ages since that post

Effectivley I rehabbed hard and got the strengh back up in my knee. I amanged to play 5 a side football for about a year - playing upto 2 games a week sometimes with no problems.

The knee itself wasnt bad, no pain and fairly stable but not as rock solid a joint as my normal knee

unfortunatley after about a year of playing i somehow managed to tear the rest of the ACL whilst twisting.

I have since had the ACL reconstruction and the knee feels more solid, although I managed to tear some cartialge as well which has caused me more problems

so my advise is push for the surgery if you want to play footy again.
