I had my original injury 12 years prior to having surgery.  I continued to play the original sport(soccer) as well as others for 3+ years after the intial injury.  I do still have a lack of confidence 6 months post op though-my PT wanted me to jump/hop on my leg and I just couldn't make myself do it.

After the surgery, has anyone gone back to the sport or activity
that cause the surgery in the 1st place? And mentally? how long does
it take for you to get mentally stable and confident about the knee.
