I ran my first 10km race today and finished with a pretty good time. I'm limping a little now but I believe that's more the meniscus swelling than anything.

Just wanted to thank everyone for the advice and to anyone having the surgery, don't worry, it's not the end of the world, you can get back to where you were prior to the surgery with a little effort/determination.
Found this thread; appreciate the success stories shared.

I'm 1 week post and it's tough at this point.

My injury: ACL complete tear, meniscus damage, partial MCL tear and partial LCL tear. Good times.

Trying to be patient, but admittedly tough.
