Anyways, my question is if anybody has had a similar injury, what kind of timeline before you could get back out on the ice? Also, were you "gun-shy" when you returned and scared to make the big stretches and movements once you got back? I'm 29 and this is my 1st real injury that wasn't just a strained muscle, twisted ankle etc. Thanks.

Wait until you've had an MRI or seen the Orthopod before trying to sort this out. I'd be worried about your ACL given how great a mechanism of injury it sounds like you had.
