I'm in a big dilemma. I'm slowly recovering from a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament, a torn medial ligement, damaged cartilage and torn calf muscles in a skiing accident 6 weks ago. I can now ride my bike relatively painfree and am walking without a limp. My surgeon however questions whether I'm going to get sufficient stability back in the knee, without surgery, to withstand the descents in fell running.
My priorities are obviously to never ski again !!! and get back into running on the fells.
I suspect at the end of the day the decision on whether I have the ACL reconstructed or not will be mine.
Has anyone been in this situation or similar?
I'd be really grateful to receive any advice on this
Cheers
Steve
