ACL Injury
I had a full ACL tear in Feb 2014 for which I had undergone reconstruction surgery in Jan 2015(hamstring graft). It has been 2 years since but I have been unable to recover fully from it. I was very active in sports before the Injury and had started playing again post 7-8 months after the reconstruction albeit very carefully. I twisted my knee a little bit while playing again and my knee has never been the same. I sometimes run and now even my hip is starting to hurt a bit. I have read numerous literature on ACL and the difficulty in recovering from a second ACL surgery. Will I be able to ever return to sports after such poor results?

Hi
Recovering is still possible. A good and gradual rehab plan is needed depending on your present status. A good quality minimally restrictive brace while doing intense cardio or re reational sports should help.
Hip and trunk strengthening is extremely important.
You need to meet a skillful sports physiotherapist.
