Re: ACL injury - July 31st 2021, 11:50 AM

Thanks ever so much for your response!

I spoke to my manager and he pretty much suggested ignoring the doctor entirely and claimed it 'probably isn't the ACL'. Though I'm inclined to believe a doctor over my manager who hasn't spent years studying and working as a doctor. He did suggest something my doctor also said, which is that the NHS doesn't cover sports injuries like this so I'd have to pay privately. He suggested a couple of places that are very good, though this is just his opinion on it. I want to see if I can get an appointment somewhere asap, though I worry about the cost.

I'm trying to think of exercises that can continue to allow me to keep muscle and protect my knee, but also won't cause any harm. Sadly a lot of quadriceps exercises bar some such as leg raises, mostly involve an action at the knee, or at least something isometric.
