Preparing for a hike after deciding not to get surgery?
Tore my ACL in March 2025 and what with NHS waiting times I only went in to talk about surgery last month. After talking, he decided surgery doesn’t really seem like something I need (right now at least) considering I am basically living my life perfectly normal, bar hearing the odd painless click/pop (how to stop these also?). I’m 23, not necessarily an athlete but definitely fitter than most, and can do most exercise without issue. I’m just careful not to do anything crazy on my bad knee whe it comes to things like yoga or Pilates. So anyway I’ve decided I’m just going to go without surgery and am excited to say that in May I will be walking the Camino over two weeks, a total bucket list item of mine. Just wondered if anyone else who didn’t do surgery has also taken on similar hikes and how the experience was for you?
