ACL 3 times please help!

by Mark
(Savoy, IL)

I believe I just tore my ACL for the third time in the same knee (my left). Simply I want some opinions on what I should do. I don't care about playing sports anymore, I just want a stable knee to live with. I used to play sports and tore it playing football, basketball, etc. Please someone give me some advice.

Talk to your doctor about reconstruction options with an allograft. Sports after 3 reconstructions is not usually advisable, but having a stable knee for everyday activities is achievable.

Talk to your physician and figure out your options.
