What are the chances of re-injuring reconstructed ACL?
I had ACL reconstructive surgery last June. Everything has been totally fine until last Saturday. A couple of friends were moving a loveseat into my house for me and had to take my front door off the hinge to get it in. They propped the door against a wall and didn't give it enough of and angle I guess and I saw it falling. With out thinking I quickly went to catch it so to speak before the glass broke and before taking our christmas tree down with it!! It was a lot heavier than I had anticipated and when I caught it somehow twisted my knee, I guess. I heard a pop and immediately felt pain and swelling . I iced it down and by Monday seemed to be OK (limped a little ) yesterday it was totally OK and today were back to pain and a little swelling. I am scared to go to the dr, I do not want surgery and months of therapy. I was told that my acl which was reconstructed from my hamstring would be stronger that before my original one so could I maybe have bruised or stretched it?
