Acl injury

[K20gboyka]

Hello ive been training in muay thai for about a year now and had my first amateur fight. I ended up throwing a jumping kick and landed with my knee bent so i ended up tearing my acl on my knee. Doctors say i might need surgery but its something i dont afford. Is there anyone who has had this injury before? Is there anything i can do? I miss training with all my heart and well ive heard that after a acl injury and no surgery you cant do what you used to. Is there other remedies? All advise is much appreciated

My old roommate tore his acl. He had to have it reconstructed with a cadaver tendon. I have also heard that without this procedure your performance can be permanently affected.

I had a complete tear and had to have it rebuilt because it was not stable.  It would sort of whip me around with no warning; very funny.  However one of my coaches trains and fights with no ACL at all and his knee is not unstable. Would be good to know if its a complete or partial tear (simply because that makes the difference for some people).  Best of luck to you and so sorry about the injury.
