Were you able to avoid surgery? How long did recovery take, with or without an operation?
Would a sports-injury doctor be the best bet over a regular orthopedist?
I did my ACL in 2 days ago. I'm sure -- looked it up & exact symptoms & description of how it felt when it happened. Consumer Reports recently rated all the hospitals in this area as "not so hot" to "run away." We're planning to move to another state in a year & a half & surgery is the last thing I anticipated before then.
I've been staying off it & wearing one of those ace bandage knee thingies. Hate the non-activity! Was there any way you kept from getting fat & lazy while it healed?
Any experiences welcome! Thanks!
