Not my ACL but I tore my MCL a few years ago. Meant a few months off work (as a bike courier), some light physio and lots of pain killers. No surgery though.
Doesn't sound much fun, hope you're doing ok! -
Tear or rupture? I ruptured mine, it was a bit of an ordeal. Op to graft hamstring in, fastened with two steel screws, months of rehab that I didn't really do properly because 19 and freshers time at uni. I regret that all the time. Knee never got back to contact sport level of strength and I just know it's going to fall apart in a few years time....

Has anyone torn their knee ACL ligament? What was recovery like?
I did mine yesterday, doctor in Homerton was saying a lot of scary sounding stuff about surgery and long bouts of physio :(
