Jacko asked 03/11/2010:
I have been working hard everyday for half my life to achieve my goal of wrestling on a tour in Japan. I finally got that ‘opportunity of a lifetime’ after 15 years and picked up a great contract that is set to start on April 9th. BUT… the day after I was given this great news I blew my knee out in a tournament. I have never had a bad injury in my life… and it this has just hit at the worst time. Go figure. I have torn my ACL and my MCL is completely torn. I have two options… not go to to Japan and miss out on this opportunity I have spent half my life trying to achieve, which may never come around again cause I am at that age where its do or die. Or… strap and brace it up, go balls to the wall and hope for the best?
So many pro’s with an equal amount of con’s!
Any idea’s, thoughts, or advice?

Don’t do anything at all to put stress on the leg. I mean nothing. Follow doctor orders to the hilt. Baby it. Take your vitamins.Then about a week before you have to work it, start out a little each day to build back up and then yeah balls to the wall but realize that you could blow out all the way but you still went and had one of “the opportunities of your life”. Be careful don’t show your opponent your weak spot. Good Luck!
