Makes sense, thanks for sharing your experience. How's the knee now?
I played lastnight in my new donjoy Defiance 3 it felt fine, although mentally I know it's not so I was being very careful about quick stop and starts etc. Although I was fine cutting hard etc. It's insane how fast you get out of hockey shape when you haven't skated in a couple of months. My legs were so full of lactic acid that was more of an issue then my acl tear lol.
I'm going to continue light skating with my brace, and putting another one on my good knee just in case. Until I get a 2nd opinion about surgery. I don't have any Instability but my knee definitely feels a little sore today, more so when I squat down near the bottom. Not sure what that means but gonna rest it until next week and try ahain wirh the brace.
This injury blows!
