hey, i'm 16 too and not only do i have a torn acl, both of my munisci are torn (which are the cartlidges you are talking about) and my mcl is stretched to the point of it being of no use. All this happened on November 9th when i was playing soccer. Since then, i've had physical therapy 5 days a week and 2 times a day at home, everyday. FOLLOW WHAT THE PT SAYS...it works MIRACLES! i have this week of of therapy b/c my surgery is Dec. 23rd. so yeah the whole ordeal sucks for anyone who has ever gone trhough it but not only do i miss 2 soccer seasons and wakeboarding, i will be all drugged up on christmas! man, what a holiday i have to look forward to! -Lindsey
