I had ACL surgery 2 years ago...?

The recovery wasn't successful, right now my doctor told me that I need another surgery because some cartilages inside the knee has some damages and the, and the ACL itself that was resonstructed has a tear. Furthermore my doctor told me that my knee wouldn' be that as normal as it would be, because of the two ACL surgey that was done. Speaking truthfully as an athlete, I was crushed! An athletes worse nightmare is not to be able to play the game he/she loves...

Is there a possibility I could come back playing? :(

Considering NFL players tear acls and are able to comeback and play at an elite level I would say your doctor is a moron.

Rebab is more important than the surgery. It is what will decide your future. Put the time in to finding a qualified PT/AT they are NOT all the same.

just go through the surgery with a positive outlook. once it is over ask your doctor to recommend a good physical therapist. they can help make you a plan to get you as normal as possible. don't give up, good luck!
