i have been to this match, just sitting a few metres besides this situation...it looked really bad.

and yes- an acl rupture sucks.

actually i had 3 acl reconstrucitons, a torn menisc and a damaged cartilage at the age of 19 :) and my knees aren´t close to be same than ever before- no handball anymore... :(

@kuusow11 Yeah man, im about 3 1/2 months out of surgery. It's tough having the Meniscus tear along with the ACL since if you were only going with ACL the rehab time/routine is different. Just play it safe. In my case the meniscus was worse so even though my ACL is doing better, im still restricted because of my damn meniscus. Best of luck to you man, keep in touch if you have any questions.

@DarkestHourRock dude...i did the same thing to my knee..i torn my acl playing soccer and after a month everything came back close to normal..i played basketball and i did my miniscus..i just had sergury on my right knee and im on my third week...hope to be back the same..

I tore mine a couple of years back but didn't get the surgery done yet. I couldn't move my entire leg when I tore it and felt immense pain.

@blackty00 Pivot-Shift Test is very effective as well.

I feel your pain man. I tore my ACL and Meniscus back in May. MRIs will do wonders. Pre-MRI they diagnosed me with a sprained ligament at first, which led me to believe that I was better once I was walking again. Everything felt stable, so I went to skateboard again and messed up my knee even more. Turns out I had torn both of those. Best of luck attaining surgery man, I had mine done in September. I've heard stories of people waiting years to get surgery, so its still an option. Good luck
