Thanks for this thread guys, it has helped me understand things that yesterday I had no idea about.
Until my gg txt spat me off and down a bank. I have apparently (hopefully) just 'stretched' or hurt the mcl At least I know what to expect over the next few weeks/months. If it is not more serious.

Just got back from seeing the surgeon. I have a totally ruptured ACL and compound fractures of something. He says I must have intensive physio with a sports therupist for two months then go back and see him. If there is no marked improvement then he will go in and have a look.

I'm pushing 50 and was running around 15-20 miles a week. In pretty good shape. Long story short rode a step ladder down and did similer to my knee. Went here and there and was told this and that. Long story short I'm not gonna lie to you I had to take it easy for a long time (App 6 monthes) I tried to push it earlier as I thought and felt iti was healing. Was not. Now it has been app 15 monthes and it feels pretty good. Talk to a good DR. and figure out what it takes and good luck!

The older we get the longer the time to full recovery.

Oh Yes!
I'm doing the exercises and doing physio but struggling. Some days I feel like I might be able to ride again in January and some days I can hardly walk well I can walk but it bloody hurts. I'm not too sure which way to go at the moment I suppose I will carry on and see the surgeon on the 2nd of Jan.

I am the same as you pepperami, but I have gone riding twice with a brace.
Easy stuff, but it feels great being on two wheels again. I am still waiting to get an appointment to see the surgeon. Starting the bike is the biggest hurdle right now. I plan all my stops on hills for the bump start. Martin |

No, I wore a brace for a few weeks initially but the Dr wants me to strengthen my leg muscles. I I believe he wants to see if I can get away without surgery. I'm sure he thinks because i'm old I don't need my ACL. I'm also sure he hasn't a clue what enduro is

I don't know how your system works over there, but if you can, I would urge you to get a second opinion from an Ortho that is in "tune" with your needs.
