[RC] [Guest] ies - Ridecamp Guestjennifer broome jbroome@xxxxxxxxxxxxx I recently had my anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructed which was the result of a bad riding accident. My surgeon grafted from my good knee to rebuild the injured one. I am an avid rider (endurance), and I am allowed to begin riding again Feb 22, just 8 weeks after the surgery. My question is, has anyone had their ACL rebuilt who is an avid rider, and how are you making out? My doctor said I will not need a brace to ride in. I understand that it takes 6 weeks for the graft to take, and nearly a year to really regain full use. I work out with physical therapy every day,and my progress has been great, but I want to hear from others how their knees may feel after long hard hours in the saddle. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
