I tore my ACL.
5 years ago.

I collapsed on a soccer field, definite pain in my knee. I struggled walking and limped for two weeks. I couldn't afford an MRI at the time.

Two weeks later. Pain had gone away, I could walk without a difficulty.

A year goes by. I can run, but can't play sports.

Two years go by, I can play sports.

Three years. I play sports, work out, run half marathons, Tough Mudders, etc. Without a knee brace.

Finally went in to see a sports doctor today. He told me I tore my ACL 5 years ago, and that I've been doing all of this activity on a torn ACL. Holy shit.

Says he just recommends an MRI and a few weeks of therapy to test it out. At that point, I've already built muscle back up and I'm perfectly functional, so no surgery seems needed.

Has anybody else done this? I can't help but think this is absurdly unusual...

It happened to my cousin. Only a few years later he had to have surgery as he didn't heal right. You lucked out.

I use a Health Rider. Very low impact, targets more than one muscle group at a time.

Honestly the doctor has no idea how bad you tore your ACL until they do an MRI. When I originally tore my ACL the first doctor told me that I was fine but when I continued to have problems I went to another one and they finally ordered an MRI. He probably did stability testing on both your knees and found one was weaker than the other. If your not doing many cuts in your physical activity than you can function very well without an ACL. The surgery and rehab is extremely painful. Way way worse than the injury. Usually you will here a pop in your knee and it swells up right away. I was able to put weight on it a little while after and limp walk. Ended up I blew my ACL and tore up my meniscus. Basically ended my sports career. I recovered but was never the same player physically that I use to be. However, surgery and rehab is leaps and bounds better than it was 10-20 years ago.

No point in getting surgery to fix a partial tear. Even if your semi-competitive in sports, might as well wait for it to tear complete. It wont unless there is a traumatic event to the area.
You are incorrect, sir, although I understand why you think that.

I completely tore my ACL and my PCL. I had to be carried off the softball field, and it hurt like a mother****er. A few days later I could walk on it, but my knee was very unstable. I couldn't jog or run on it. It would occasionally bend the wrong way when I was just walking on it, and when that happened it would hurt like hell and swell up for about 4 days.

Based upon his description, I agree that Direckshun's ACL is probably partially torn. But I am living proof that you can walk on a completely torn ACL. I just learned to walk carefully and never make a sharp turn while walking. (By the way, it sucks to have to live like that.)

Before my surgery, my doctor thought my ACL was partially torn for the reasons you stated. He had to open up my knee to figure out it was completely torn, and the 90 minute surgery turned into a 4 1/2 hour surgery. My doctor knows a little about ACLs, as he was the team physician for the Chiefs for a couple of decades (Dr. Jon Browne). He had done thousands of ACLs before he did mine.

I've got a friend that had a similar incident. It had already been repaired surgically once. The second time he said **** it. He's been rocking and rolling for 6-7 years now.

I had a friend who did a similar thing. Lived with it for about 3 years. He complained of a little pain whenever we played basketball. He got drunk and played haki sack one night and ended up injuring it even worse.
