ACL RECOVERY: If you are only 10-weeks post ACL reconstruction, you probably shouldn't be dancing just yet. If you are engaged in physical therapy, you should talk w/both your orthopedist & therapist about returning to activities that will stress your recently repaired knee

I had ACL reconstruction both knees- 2005 Left and 2009 right. Both are torn again 100%. Doctor suggests new surgeries by taking tendons from patella.
