cruciate ligament injury advice

[lee revill]

Hi all this is my first post and Im just wondering if anyone could give me any tips, I have just started karate (second belt in) after taking the kids and getting the bug myself. I snapped my acl @ 17 years old (now 39) had all the surgery with replacements but still getting pain when twisting & kicking tried different knee supports & using a york one now but still unstable. Any sugestions?

You should see a physiatrist about this. My guess is that you could benefit from a strengthening program (beyond karate and specific to your injury).
