For those who have had their ACLs repaired...

Ruptured my ACL, partial tear on MCL, and slight medial meniscus tear(that won't require surgery the doc said, just ACL)

Just wondering, for those who replaced their ACL, which autograft or allograft did you guys get? Also what was the recovery time for you guys to be at the level of physical activity right up until the injury happened?

And how long did it take until the pain went away? I'm 8 days post-op with an achilles allograft and the only pain i have is from blood rushing into the injury area from standing up and such...and it won't really seem to subside or go away...any remedies to this?

Just found out Derek Rose and another guy on the knicks tore ACLs today too lol

Same here. Got a tear in my MCL and whenever it's getting really cold or about to rain, my knee starts to hurt.

Sucks that you have to experience and go through surgery for that injury. Torn MCL/ACL is one of the worst pains I've ever had.
