Hi Guys

Unfortunately, i tore the ACL in my left knee again, so I will have it repaired soon.

I'm worried about Muscle Atrophy. After my first surgery, i lost some mass and i was able to recover but it was never the same.

Now that its happened again, im worried it will decrease in size again and maybe even more. My first surgery was in 99, and now its 4 years later.

Also, should i try to work out and get the legs as strong as i can now before surgery, or just wait til after?

thanks
