I tore my ACL and medial meniscus cartilage in my left knee playing soccer. I opted not to have surgery and instead rehabbed it. I was running up to 30 minutes as well as cycling and everything felt normal until one day shortly before Xmas I woke up with a swollen knee. It never got better, so I finally went through with surgery to reconstruct the ACL and repair the damaged cartilage. This is my story.

Day 47 - Beach knees
I did a lot of walking at the beach. My knee got a little sore, but it was a strange soreness because it sort of faded away rather fast. It's not like when my knee (where the cartilage was torn) would get sore before the surgery. That pain would just remain and even get worse. So I'm hoping the beach-walking was ultimately good for my knee. Maybe it had some sort of rehab effect.
