yes, surgery is almost as bad as getting syphillis from a hooker.

well if it isnt all the way torn, they can like staple it back together, but if its completely torn, they have to take it out, which would suck, that means ill get arthritis.

^dude be prepared for feeling really shitty. I just had acl reconstruction literally a week ago. The first 2 days are really painful in ur knee and then the next two days ur really constipated from the narcotics in the painkillers.

its worth it dude, I'm goin on my fourth knee surgery (3 for my acl on my right leg, and meniscus soon in the left leg), It's really not that big'a deal, it passes quickly. Good luck.

I tore my meniscus doing a cork 7 mute and i needed surgery to stitch it back up. That was in april and I needed another surgery two days ago to tack a third of it out because it didn't heal. If you get your meniscus stitched up, be prepared to not ski for 4-6 months If they take it out, 4-6 weeks and you are full

thats why i said 100%. 100% means the likeliness of it tearing it again is the same as before you had the surgery. i'm 3 months out of surgery, probably somewhere at 50-75% but i can still do everything (run, bike, skate, etc.) but the difference is that its more likely that i'll tear it now than if i wait a few more months and rehab/strengthen it some more.
i guess what i'm trying to say is that anyone can go back to their normal sports after a few months with intense PT, but the reality is that it won't be completely normal until a year or more has passed.
