Title: RE: MCL Repair

Hi Kathy: Am I to understand your ACL is still missing? Have you had it repaired? I'm a candidate in the near future for a knee and ACL which is also separated. Any info. available.

Thx. Steven

I had my MCL stapled together along with an ACL arthroscopic cleanup.  It ached more than the ACL injury while healing, but it’s fine now.  No problems at all.  But my MCL was repairable and my ACL is totally missing.  I’m sure it’s different for everyone and how they got injured, though!

Any of you riders out there ever had to have your MCL (knee) repaired? I'd
like to hear from you as Hubby is having his done tomorrow.  The waiting and
healing is not working, and he is an avid rider as I am and he did the MCL
in on our last day at the GMHA Fall Foliage Ride in September and hasn't
been able to ride since.  So to say the least, he is going insane.  The
doctor says he should be back to normal in a couple of weeks, but not for
horse back riding, which could be 6 weeks or more. So I'd like to hear from
anyone who had this repair done and is riding now.  Thanks,

Carolyn Burgess
