Damaged acl reconstruction?

Do exactly what your surgeon is telling you to do. The last thing you want is to have to go back on the operating table to have it redone again. Do as little as you can. I understand you want to do things I am in the same situation. I slipped in a local wawa and I tore my MCL and I am seeing the orthopedic surgeon tomorrow and it hurts like there is no tomorrow. Being in an immobilizer and on crutches sucks especially when it's summer and hot out. But, seriously if you don't want to have another surgery I recommend you let people do stuff for you and try and not do anything but let it heal! Good Luck and I know how you feel your not the only one!
