Search the SS boards (it's been asked) or ask Rip what he thinks about that advice.

Ask him to prove to you that this statement is true. Because it isn't.

oh that sucks, im sorry to hear. sounds like you didnt do any meniscal damage which is really good tho.

without any pain or swelling, i would imagine you can squat and i think it will be very helpful to build up the muscle as much as possible. obv check with someone who knows more than me.

will make post surgery rehab a ton easy bc your leg is gonna atrophy no matter what, but if you got a ton of muscle there already it wont be as bad.

i just reread this. surprised you had the surgery so fast and with the obv swelling.. guys like brady, welker, and leon powe waited for at least a couple weeks. it was my understanding that they prefer to do surgery after swelling goes away.

as for your not being able to walk or bend, i was the same way for 2-3 days but then the swelling went down and i could walk decently, tho i had to be careful or else my leg would completely buckle.

This really sucks.
