Thanks for all the replys. I used the higest recommended Surgeon in Dallas team Doc for the Hockey team and his Physical Therapist has 20 years ACL rehab experience. My first session they had to sit on it to force it to about 45-50 degree's.

Let me ask. Would a MRI show the tunnel placement ect and the scar tissue ? At least to identfy the problem, and go from there.

Also is the pain likely from the tunnels drilled into the bone ? or impigment from tissue ?

Thanks
Don
