Experiences with Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Surgery

my experience 13yrs ago acl of the left knee before the surgery I tore a ligament by jumping over a pole i was ok then i started gaining weight which cause unbearable pain, i went thru therapy a lot of dr appts then surgery came I was semi numb in the knee area for 7 yrs. But its a lot better than b4 surgery. And now being 13yrs later if i gain to much weight its swells up on me.
