Hey!

Well tomorow i go into hospital for a knee reconstruction! I tore my ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) playing football about one month ago and have been on the waiting list for surgery. Tomorow is the big one. Has anyone else had knee reconstruction before? Im only 16 and i can tell ya im pretty shit scared, lol. anyway hope all goes good.

good luck in the opperation
my mate has just had the same opperation, he said it was all fine and you will have nothing to worry about

I'm having problems with my knee too but I don't need surgery, just 4 weeks in plaster (for the second time ). Good luck .

Good im sure you'll be ok. Person i knew had a foot reconstruction (freaky lol).... took muscles off his body that are redundant to put into his foot was dead weird. Anyway he fine now im sure your knee will be ok .

Good luck
I dont know anyone who's had one but im sure you'll be fine

Well thanks guys. and reisyboy, thats what they doing with me, they are getting hamstring tendons and putting them where my ligament was. sounds freaky. anyway 2hours until im in hospital. Thanks! =)

im sure it will be ok modern medicine is pretty good now
remember to tell us how it went when you get back
ill be on the edge of my seat

It's a pretty standard operation...nothing out of the ordinary, there's really no need to worry...

Hey Web_Master, I'm glad to hear it went well.  Last year a friend of mine has to undergo the same surgery.  He was just as worried, but everything went well.  He had a rip in his cartlidge too, but it healed fine, I bet yours will too.
