[quote=Anonymous]I had an ACL reconstruction about 10 years ago. It was an allograft using achilles tissue, and I've been pretty satisfied with the result. I think it's important to keep moving that knee, as others have said. I started taking the metro instead of driving, but the doctor said I could've started driving in the first week as long as I wasn't taking any narcotics (it was also my left leg). I think that the hardest thing will be to fit in routine physical therapy to regain your full range of motion. I was going three days per week for a few months and it felt like a part-time job. I was running races again a little more than a year later, but it takes time. [/quote]
