Hi all,
I found this forum when trying to find answers to some questions and this is my first post.
I completely tore my ACL nearly 6 weeks ago as well as a couple of other injuries. It was only officially diagnosed a week ago after an MRI. Unfortunately the knee is still very swollen and the range of movement I have is still very restricted. However the knee surgeon has spoken to me about ACL reconstruction surgery. I'm not sure if I should go for it or not. I partake in pole fitness (pole dancing but not in a club) and I'm worried that if I don't have the surgery I won't be able to return as it requires quite a bit of pivoting and knee holds. There is also the concern of running around playing with my 3 young children and American Bulldog puppy to consider. Are these activities I can continue doing without the surgery or are they going to be harder?
I know its a decision I need to make for myself but I'm just looking for some advice really on what is possible with/without surgery so I can make a completely informed decision.
Thanks!
