I’m thinking of going the allograft route and limiting my pain… still waffling on surgery.

I intend to work my butt off in rehab. But if I only can hope to return to 80-90% getting an autograft, it might be worth it to give up sports and go the allograft route. It might not be as strong but the trade off is forgoing the invasiveness, losing existing ligaments and the pain of an allograft. I should be happy to have a “normal” life with strong walking, bicycle (not sure about blading), climbing stairs. I’m still devastated that I’ll have to give up martial arts, football and competitive softball in Central Park but I cannot deal with looking/feeling pathetic and not competitive anymore even amongst those my age.
