Riding with a torn ACL (Knee ligament)
Yesterday I tore my Anterior Cruciate Ligament in my knee. Not only is it excruciatingly painful, it's turned my knee to jelly and I can't walk on it (YET)...
I think im going to need surgery as once a ligament is torn, it can only be reconstructed. IT WONT HEAL !! But, the NHS waiting list is 6-12 months.
I'm commited to a UK-Capetown trip this September and I just can't back out of it. I'm planning on going anyway but I could be asked to go for the op while im away..
Has anyone ridden in a similar condition ?? Any hints and tips ? Advice ??
I'm going to invest in a quality hinged knee support but I can't see what else I can do.
