Thread: Hunting with a knee injury

I did ACL when I was 18, had a small key hole to trim up a frayed ligament from where it had stretched. Post visits to Dr confirmed it had then snapped. Although I’m probably due a reconstruction, Ive never done it.After talking to quite a few sports doctors and physios, majority have said if you can strengthen all the muscles around it and avoid the knife you’ll be a lot better off. Obviously dependent on injury. I hit the gym regularly and have spent a lot of time building up legs and also stretching regularly to make sure the rest of my body is functioning properly ie. get rid of any imbalances so any lagging muscles or joints aren’t causing strain on the rest of the body.
It’s not for everyone, but I went from a joint that used to collapse and lock to what I would say is close to 100% and very rarely have any trouble. There are plenty of pro sports players with bugger all left inside their knees and still do fine.
