Anterior cruciate ligament Tear
So you know whats the problem now and you experience the signs, good and your ready to bang on a solution. You got two options live with it and wait for it to get better or if your a sportsman fill with the entire world of energy, maybe a regular person and in your life you need your lower limbs to work over time "OT" for you. I would consider surgery, it leaves a mark that may never disappear but when you are confronted in situation any perhaps, you can get right to the chase or get the blue hell out of the zone. Absolutely we may disregard our limbs cause their ours after all and we have our rights to use them to their full potential, but are they really yours, is anything in this world in your ownership, the way you misuse and the things you abuse in result is nothing better than what you are.People compliment not you but the way you are, the choices you choose and how you manage to project yourself in the plight of another.

Wow. I tink my friend has that b4.
ReplyDeleteMy sis tore her ligament ten years ago when she did a turning kick in Taekwondo without turning her supporting leg. Went for surgery, for its was a complete tear. Took her 6-8 months before she can really hop around though. At this point, she can even join kick boxing, kick my ass when i make fun of her.
ReplyDeleteBut again, I would strongly suggest surgery even if its a partial tear, and even if you are GARANG enough to take the daily pain. For such injury when not treated, will DEFINETLY deteoriate as time passes. For one, your tear would get bigger as you even walk to that Mrt station opposite your house. So, unless you think limping is cool, or u can't start the day without pain, Surgery would be the best option to go for. Money comes and go. You can always earn that 6K back. But your leg, unless science found a way to regrow it perfectly, once injured this way, its PERMANENT.
Not that I'm saying you WILL attain complete recovery, but its definetly much better than having your leg weakening everyday huh?
