I tore my PCL completely playing futsal, but my doctor didn’t recommend surgery. Strengthening the quads, calves, muscles around the knee, etc., help compensate the PCL’s function. I’m pretty much back to normal.

i ended up with a double cruciate ligament injury ( both pcl and acl) as well as a fully torn acheilas tendon aftet a freak injury on the soccer feild were my foot locked up but all of my leg from the tendon up twisted. took a 7 hour operation to fit pins ans plates in my knee and tendon. then a n 11 month recovery period.

God that position when you’re laying on your stomach and they are stretching on your leg had me fucking tears. I had three ligament reconstruction surgeries on my knee and was not allowed to use my hamstrings or it’d loosen the ligament

It's been 6 years since I torn my PCL playing basketball the first year I did rehab and was able to play basketball and run again but in my third year I reinjured my pcl and fully torn it after falling from a hike when trying to climb a mountain and ever since I haven't able to run and it's been 3 years I haven't been able to run and have alot of stability and some stiffness I recently started exercising and rehabbing again but sometimes my foot gets sore as well which never happened before I'm 27 what do you recommend the best option for me I haven't went with the surgery yet and are you supppse to use a knee brace to help keep it stable especially when exercising I never used a brace since I got injured

I’m 51 and the Doctor said they didn’t recommend surgery for me. I’m seven months after injury and still struggling although no longer crippled. The pandemic has interfered with rehab unfortunately.

I am at the IFC portion. Shouldn't they be crossing the channels?

AVOID SURGERY AT ALL COSTS... Many surgeons / doctors have conflict bias and will play on your emotions and convince you that you need surgery to increase their wealth . It's like asking a real estate agent if it's a good time to buy... You need to make the decision and try all natural healing before committing to surgery, since you will never be the same after someone cuts through your body. Speaking from experience after I was pressured into surgery as a trusting young kid.
