hi jason,
this is a very quiet forum ( guess that's a good thing). are you in therapy? if you can't do leg raises i imagine your quads are very weak from immobility? did they (if you're in therapy) do heel slides (with or without a big ball?) i imagine your therapist will tell you what is best to re-build the muscles.
i completely tore my acl in my left knee on febb 22 while shoveling my driveway. guess i should tell everyone i did it skiing- sounds more fun. didn't have surgery as orthopedist says i was too old ( i'm 50 not dead!) but i imagine he meant because i'm not athletic. did pt for about 6 weeks (2x week) until insurance company deemed me healed- hate hmo's. i continue doing all my exercises at home and will have to do so for the rest of my life if i want to maintain some stability.
