In Response To: As good as it gets? (Brez)

I tore my acl about 5 years ago and up until last week it has been perfect. I was able to play a year of college level soccer and two years of college club rugby. my knee felt just as strong if not stronger than pre-surgery. i think it made me a lot more aware of how important it is to strengthen your quads and hamstrings AND practicing jumping and lunging correctly. but accidents happen and i recently retore the same acl...

things should continue to improve for you and you shouldn't need to ice after every workout. i think that after the first year i felt as good as new...but my knee still cracked pretty loudly if i kept it in one position for an extended period of time...but it wasn't painful!

Good luck with the rest of your recovery!!
