Hi it's Angus here from South Wales (UK). I've just seen your
blog on pcl surgeries online and I am looking for some advice.
Around two years ago I got tackled playing rugby and twisted my
knee , it swelled up and I had difficulty walking on it the
physio I had at the time examined it and said that it was only
a minor sprain and to rest and ice it etc. A month or so later
I noticed that I could move my shin bone back and forth by just
tensing my leg muscles , there was also instability when I tried
to squat or bend my knee. The next physio I saw examined me and
told me that I may have torn my ACL ligament and to book an
appointment with a knee specialist who eventually ordered an MRI. Surprisingly the scan showed that I have a full grade 3
tear of my pcl and the doctor suggested surgery was needed. I am
due to have surgery in the next two months but I am back to playing
rugby with some mild pain and instability (needing a knee brace ) ,
should I continue playing or stop ? Please don't hesitate to post this on your blog or to contact me back Many thanks Angus
