11 MONTHS post-op (ACL repair) quite a lot of pain while skiing

Hi

I tore my ACL skiing last February, had a successful surgery and followed up with more than 6 months of PT. I consider my recovery very successful in all aspects of my life except when skiing.

In my job I am on my feet in excess of 8 hours a day, and
I sometimes walk up to 13 miles, including LOTS of stairs,all with almost no discomfort.

Skiing, however, is after only a few hours becomes quite painful.
Before the accident, I could usually ski (hard!) up to 6 and a half hours.

Do you think I will have this pain from now on or will it get better with time? What, if anything,can I do to speed healing?

Thank you so much for your help,
