Steroids for knee injury

[NoACL]

I had a very long conversation with a surgeon two years ago. We discussed several options. The autograft seemed like the best long term solution but also the longest and most painful recovery. The allograft was the second choice - faster recovery but not as permanent. The hamstring resection was discussed but the prognosis was not favorable enough IMO. I opted to put off all surgery for now - possibly indefinitely.

As far as sports, my workouts aren't really affected although I am more cautious about the load capacity on my leg work. Leg extensions put more strain on the knee than leg presses or squats. I used to play hockey for 15 years up until semi-pro but that's in the past. For any sport that requires lateral displacements, I have a good Ortho-brace that restricts knee movements.

Cheers mate. I am stupidly still looking to try and play football again next year, maybe getting my knee muscles really strong and wearing that brace you mentioned could work? I also read that Dejuan Blair the NBA player is playing with no ACL's in both knees, so it seems a possibility.

It's not impossible. Some guys do make a comeback. Everyone is different. I still play hockey but just recreationally. I personally think having an intact/reconstructed ACL would be better if you wanted to play again but I know a few people without an ACL who resume sports - but rarely contact sports. A few friends of mine still run marathons but for enjoyment not for competition.
