It is my left leg at the very least, I was the same as you, I didn't need an MRI, the doc just moved it around and went "yeah, you don't have an ACL".
Did you do anything special that really helped out in the recovery period after surgery other than straightening the leg and stretching? My buddy says tension related exercises helped him immensely.
Did you get decent painkiller drugs after surgery? How long were you on crutches for?
Am I going to cry multiple times like a little girl?
