i tore my acl on june 13.playing soccer on a very wet field. my cleat dug into the soft ground as i pushed off and my knee crackled and popped out. it buckled and hurt like heck. therapy for 2 weeks and had my surgery july 2nd 2009. first couple of days were horrible. painkillers helped alot. i recomend you eat alot of fiber due to the constipation from the painkillers. it is certain this will happen to you. therapy started a week after. everything has been going good besides one part.. i have this grinding when i extend my leg. i have been told this is normal. i just want some more confirmations of this. i would love to hear your stories. please share and help me if its normal that your knee is GRINDING ON EXTENSION. PLEASE HELP
