It was 20 years ago . It ended my rugby career but thankfully I'm still able to do most things.

Didn't realise I failed to follow up. Well better late than never. For those who are worried about the op - don't. It is the best thing I have done & my recovery was pretty swift. i was getting around without crutches after 10 days and back walking the dogs after around two months. 

Hardest part was sticking to the exercises given 3/4 times a day. Relied often on Diane giving me the gee up but sticking to it rigidly made the op successful My specialist told me pre op that the successful outcome was 50/50. 50% was his expertise and the other 50% was my commitment to doing to recovery work. Not had a problem with the knee since - a huge difference to living with constant pain and swelling.

I was in school with a boy "Mad Martin" a well known member of the hells angels and i believe he lost his leg in a crash he played rugby for Amman United and one of his visitors after the operation said well your rugby days are over Martin replied "I won't get in the Amman but i'll get in the Ammanford side" LOLClap

Good luck Townboy. Remember diligence with exercises every day for at least two weeks pays dividends.

Stepped off the pavement with a shopping bag in both hands the other day. Went down in slow motion to a crouch and then managed to heave myself vertical again.
Didn’t break stride.

The whole street of people were captivated between trying to help and giggling.

I made it look as if I intended it of course.

I have suffered for 40+ years with an old rugby injury which curtailed my playing career and I am about to undergo this procedure. If anyone is interested to find out about this please let me know and I will share my experiences.
best of luck mate youll be fine my mAte has had both done hes like a new man
