Injury in may, I'll guess surgery 4-6 weeks later ( I tore my ACL in half and had to wait 6 weeks for surgery ) so you're only 6 months after surgery.

It's going to take a bit of work to get your knee back to where it feels "secure". It was closer to 9 months to when I felt good with my knee and probably 15-18 months to get full strength back.

Do the strength exercises along with the stretching. This is literally one of those times of "no pain, no gain" in getting your strength back.

Jeff

I tore my left ACL in half at work. Six weeks of strength exercises at PT and then reconstructive surgery using the patella of that same knee for the new ACL.

Many months of PT three times a week for about 3 hours each time.

Honestly. A trike would be best for you. At least thru recovery/rehab time. Their real popular now so you could do allot or find allot for them.

Don't get me wrong... I don't like them. But for a medical reason it's understandable. I don't like it when people buy them cause they THINK it's cool. Or "I don't want to be bothered to hold up the bike".

However, they are a big deal now a days. So you could get one, make one, or whatever and I don't believe you would have a problem with resale.

Seriously...Eric in your condition it is going to take 1.5-2 years to get back where you can squat some decent weight again. You have to push yourself, yet understand what not to do to reinjury it. Your body is very resilient.

But yeah, get a cruiser.

Either the car wasn't on a level road OR he never actually lifted the wheel off the ground. To get a jackstand under the frame pinch you don't need to lift the wheel off the ground.

2300/4 is 575lbs....he can't deadlift that...If I can't..he can't.
