ACL tear??!

ACL tear??

has anyone been diagnosed with ACL tear?i have been having ACL tear for 3 years now but i was misdiagnosed at first.anyone can help or suggest a treatment?

I had surgery in March. The injury was sustained years ago. It too was misdiagnosed at first because the swelling prevented the er doctor from properly diagnosing it. A good sports doctor or orthopedic doctor will see it. One doctor told me not to worry about the surgery (only treatment for it...sorry) if I just cut cutting sports from my life. Which I did. However, over the last couple of years, jogging started to hurt and I could feel the loss of stability. I would go see a proper sports doctor to get it diagnosed and then if it is a torn ACL, make a honest decision about the quality of your life from here on out; do you want to be constantly worried about a serious knee injury? Worried about arthritis down the road?

If you go for the surgery, the best option is have a part of your hamstring used to replace the ACL. The other option is to use a cadavers' ACL which isnt 100% safe (infectious diseases). I was off my feet for a few days, one week off crutches, and have been doing therapy twice a week since. I was cycling within two months. No jogging yet. A lot of pain the first three days, but that went away. Good luck.
