acl injury?

[flash]

I completely tore my acl a month ago and had surgery a week ago today. I was wondering how many of yall have done this and long it was before riding again? The doc said 5 months, but I'm hope it doesn't take that long.

Well I tore the ACL in my left knee and have yet to get it fixed.. I was down for about a month before I could walk on it again.. After that I was back to racing XC.. That was 2 years ago.. I will be getting the surgery next Dec. If it holds out that long..

my mom tore her acl about 2 months ago and she had surgery 2-3 weeks ago and she is already walking without crutches and hopes to go back to work (pipefitter) in the next month or so but hse has been pushing the limits and is doing really well. so it is all up to how hard you wanna push yourself and how muhc you can take. she goes to therapy 4 times a week when they usually just do 2 or 3 so to recover fast you have to push yourself.

I've never tore mine , but know people that ahve , and that have pushed too quickly to get back in the action . They're all paying for it now with lots of problems . Take the time to let things heal ... you'll be thankful in the long run .

my really good friend was a pro wake boarder (Bob Vezina) and he tore his ACL about 2 years ago and hasnt been able to get back on one since. After a couple surgeries and lots of beer there is only four months and he'll be good to go.

Whats funny about it is his brother Nate just tore his about a month ago doing the exact same trick (tantrum) and the doctor told nate he had 5 months until he could ride or wake board and Bob just check in with his doctor and he said bob only has 4 months left. Two brothers tear their acl on the same trick and are good to go in the same month..... :huh freaky eh?
