Torn ACL Problems.?
I tore my ACL when I fell off my husband's motorcycle. No health insurance and I am not licenced to ride so his motorcycle insurance would not cover me. Therefor I could not capture the surgery (rought $30,000 on my own). Its been two months now and I can waddle on it, with a limp. It get weak when I sit down and try to stand. And I cannot fully straighten it or bend it, much less put any pressure on my knees. Without surgery will it get somewhat back to usual or even heal or can I look forward to a life of limping and affliction until I can get the surgery?
Answer: you will heal somewhat, but most promising you will always have a hop. try to come up with the money as soon as you can. the longer yuo wait, the more your body heal incorrectly. this WILL cause problems in other areas.. your hips, ankles, foot, lower back .
Get the surgery, I had to hold a ruptured disk repaired w/o insurance and I've been paying for it each month. There's no interest that accumulate on a medical bill. The trick is to find a doctor that will do the surgery.
Don't put it off too long.
