Hey y'all,
I am due for ACL surgery in a few days and I am wondering how long afterwards before I am back in the saddle? I ride consistently and competitively at my barn about 5 days a week on a VERY safe horse! I have been riding with my torn ACL with no pain but I'm sure after surgery it'll be a different story... Anyways I wondering if anyone has any suggestions or similar experiences about riding after ACL surgery. I have heard some people say 6-8 weeks and others a few months. I am young and have been eagerly doing my pre-hab! I am hoping it won't be too long before I'm at least in the saddle even if it's just walking/hacking but obviously I do not want to push it either!
thanks!
