Lost all 3 ligaments in my right knee in a terrible incident in 2000...I was 30. I had the PCL and MCL repaired in immediate surgery...screws, staples and pins, but no ACL in that leg. Was told I would need an ACL from a cadaver for the procedure, if I ever had it done. I always tell people I'm waiting for Michael Jordan to pass away...
All kidding aside, I have very little problems other than some noticeable swelling and pressure when we have big low pressure systems come in. I do not wear any brace...when I did for the year following the accident, it made the knee worse, probably due to resistance on it.
I am glad to be at the REF position more often than not, however, my Friday night crew...I am the UMP and have been since 1995. Saw the ortho last year and they suspect a knee replacement by the time I'm 50 or so....possibly both at some point. We'll see.
