Gonna bump an old thread again.

Just received my MRI results and yay for me, completely torn acl. I guess the only good thing is that the meniscus and all other ligaments are fine.

It's funny now that it is confirmed, looking back at what I have done and what an idiot I was for doing it. I Water skiid 2 days later, I moved into a new place carrying furniture up and down stairs for 2 days, I have been working and getting around just fine, its kind of sobering now looking ahead to the next year is going to be like.

For now while I wait for surgery, the Doc said to go get a brace and maintain activity so as not to let the muscles deteriorate around the knee. (For some reason he kind of brushed off Physio)

I'm wondering what others had for a brace or if you picked one up at all. I have kind of looked at them and they ranged from 100- 1200 bucks. I can handle coughing up a couple Robert Borden's but 1200 bucks is pretty steep.
