    It's very true, most people never recover 100% after an ACL tear. Any tear of the ligaments, MCL, ACL, etc. just don't regain 100% ability. Everyone I've known whose torn it has said it's one of the most painful experiences ever.

It doesn't matter who the **** you are, it's a tough injury. Dan Marino, Vinny Testaverdi, Harold Minor, and a alot of other atheletes have suffered the injury only to never have the same jumping ability or speed that they did prior to it.


    I don't get the reasoning behind your post.

                  The reasoning is this: comparing your recupertive abilities to that of a world class athlete is idiotic. Apart from the actual "athelte" part of it, they have access to personell, medicine, and treamtment that you couldn't get on your best day

                    Yours perhaps, because Toney can't be beat.

                      My point in pointing out my injury is to explain how damaging the tear was to me even though I had alot of treatment done to it. And how would you know what I've done to recupe from the injury? The real idiotic thing is you making the statement with absolutely no knowledge of who I am or what the **** it is that I do. I know that I may not have had nearly as much treatment done to my injury as Toney did, but the point is that there is only so much treatment that you can do to an injury like that. More often that not, the athelete will never be the same no matter how much work is done. It doesn't matter if he your an average joe with an 1000 dollar surgery compared to a James Toney with a 2000 dollar surgery and access to top notch medical treatment, the fact still remains that it is hard for ANYONE to overcome.
