You'll be absolutely fine as long as you stick to your rehabilition and take it seriously. I tore my miniscus and cruciate ligament playing football back in 2007. After 9 months of recovery and shedding a bit weight i had gained it was perfect, stronger than what it was! Now another year on I tore my meniscus in my left knee in the first game of the season a few weeks ago, very unlucky! Just greatful I didn't tear the acl in my left one as well, waiting on surgery now. good luck

@Gameviewer100 btw i'm in the same boat, but without a job and insurance. I'm getting insured and taking care of it. I'm in college. Most likely if yours i like mine, you'll be off of it for a week then on crutches til your pain goes away.

@Gameviewer100 i have it too, I was sent to a specialst by my family doc. From there i got a MRI of my right knee where the tear is. He said I needed surgery. Its really a small surgery, nothing big. A small insistion where the tear is. You need to have a MRI to locate your tear. If your doc says you need surgery, go for it. I'm in the process of having my surgery. Taking the pain will take a lot out of you and make you less active. Go for it!
