ACL Recovery Weak Quad
Hi,
I am not a runner but I thought you guys could help me out. I tore my acl two years ago and had surgery on it two years ago. I had a terrible time with PT. I went for 6 months 2 to 3 times a weak but came out of it with a weak quad still after all that time! I had a lot of bitterness towards the clinic b/c I think some of the stuff they made me do injured my knee more...anyone heard of the omnitron machine?
Long story short. Two years later and my quad is still weak which I know affects my knee. I can't run without limping and when I do run I can tell my muscles are not supporting my knee enough.
Is there any hope for a stronger quad after two years? I have not worked out consistently in about 4 months b/c I got discouraged. It seems that I am not making progress when I do work out. Any advice?
