Can you give me suggestions if i have my acl surgery in a months time any advice would be great?

Increasing your : Strength and range of motion will help you tremendously after surgery. I tell my patients they can certainly wait for surgery a few months but not at the risk of potentially doing more damage to the knee. Waiting longer than 3-6 months can cause further dance to your cartilage and meniscus.
