i am 14 years old and i have injured my pcl. i can walk and bent my knee with no pain but my shin bone moves back a lot which makes my knee fell lose. is it true that the pcl is just stretched out? will the injured pcl ligament heal back to normal? can someone please give me an answer. i would really appreciate it. thx :)

@ktel3 Wow. My MRI result said I have a "high grade, ALMOST complete tear". I can walk fine and everything but it hurts when I try and move/bend it a lot. I am hoping I don't need surgery. But it is great to see someone like you coming back fine from it!
@joey5552424 For at least 3 or 4 months I had the same issue bending my knee, so I think it may be normal. Try to strengthen your leg. In the begginning I did a lot of cycling and walking. Just think positive and keep in mind that some proffesional athletes continued their carreers without a PCL.

He is absolutely right! I had a pcl tear a year before and now I can play all sports with just physiotherapy.

@ktel3 How severe was your PCL tear? What grade was it?

@joey5552424 It was a COMPLETE PCL tear as the result of a collision my knee had with the post during a football (soccer) game.
