RE: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ! ! ! Not good ! !
Having tore my ACL in both knees playing football also, your post would have been laced with this $(%*(#)(*R**$((_)(R$*(W#***E.... Becausethat is the most painful thing I've ever had happen to me, I think you maybe tore some cartlidge (sp) or twisted it pretty good. On the bright side you should be able to hunt even if you did tear it up, after about 3-4 days it will fell as if nothing ever happened, just remember to wear a braceto support any side to side movement because you won't have that anymore. So pop some Advil, put on a brace and get out there, just don't do "stupid" stuff.

At least its your knee and not an elbow or a shoulder. Ice it for a couple of days and I bet you find a way to hobble out there and hunt from a ground blind. Good luck with it.

My lady just went through this about 5 months ago. Most likely you'll have some time before the surgery and you won't be able tohurt yourself more. Find help to the stand and get a buddy to track. It doesn't have to end if you have the means...
Tough luck either way though man.

Did you already have an MRI done? Or did some Dr. just palpate the area and tell you his diagnosis. If you went to the ER and the on duty Dr. is who gave you the news, I would wait til the MRI results came in before you jump to conclusions. There are some ER Dr.'s out there who will say just about anything. I mean they are going to refer you to a specialist, so who cares if they are right or not.
Sorry, just haven't had good results with ER doctors.
BTW, I am a coach, so I know how they tend to err on the side of caution.

Yeah I have to go to the ortho surgen on Monday to get the MRI. I'm with you I don't have much faith with the ER doc's. But man I'll tell you one thing I've never felt pain like this. It deffinatly got my attention. They thought it was the top of the humorous where it makes contact in the joint area. They thougt I broke the top of that bone off. But it wasn't. So he said it was more than likely going to be the ACL.
It really suck's. So it looks like its time to practice shooting sitting down.
I will find out more on monday. Here is the kicker. I got the best ground I have ever got. It's a pumpkin farm like oak hardwoods, has a stream and a pond. Just an amazing area.
