Long story short I tore my ACL last year at the end of July, over a year and two surgeries later I still have limited mobility in my knee, pain on a daily basis, and have another surgery to look forward to.
Riding has become more difficult, not less, as time goes by. Posting is dreadful at best, and I can’t do more than one lap of the arena posting before I have to take a break. After a lesson I usually can’t walk the next day.
I am just curious what other riders with knee pain did to help alleviate it, or what changes they made to their riding to help lessen the effects. I am riding in a barefoot cheyenne with endurance stirrups. The stirrups have helped some.
Also, has anybody else had complications from an ACL replacement? What was the outcome? My surgeron really dropped the ball on this one, and I am now working with the University of Michigan to hopefully correct this disaster.
