Good luck!

Was your op the result of a new injury or recurrence of an old injury? Just curious as I tore my acl & medial meniscus (plus straining the pcl) 22 years ago. Rugby is a silly game

same here dude,
had acl done 25yrs ago but was never right,my own fault for thinking drinking bow and eating takeaways was ok for rehab.
the cartlige is a new one brought on by favouring the acl leg for a looooong time##,been struggling with it for about a year but it finally went just before my preassesement for acl op,so it was decided to do 2 for 1

17miles done and am suffering abit in cartlige leg but did stop and move cleat a touch which seemed to ease the pain alot.
##was advised to try this if i had any probs.

Thanks for the info. I've had no problems at all, but at least they can fix it quicker these days. I've just cursed myself - haven't I?
