I was running in gym class back in January. I happened to twist somehow when I was running. Went to the ER and they said I sprained it. Went back to gym a week later. Was running again 2 months after the first incident. Went to my family doctor this time. He said I possibly sprained it. Kept bugging me so I went to a specialist. They made me get an MRI. Found out I tore my ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) and did some damage to my cartlidge. So I had surgery on the knee Wednesday the 16th of June. They took my hamstring (part of it) and grafted that to be my new ACL. Then they screwed that into my bone. Then they scraped my cartlidge.
