This is my first post here so just want to say hi and appreciate any advice I can get here as it seems like a great place for info.
I am 37 years old and have been lifting weights since I was 17 but have never done any gear. Never been the strongest guy in the gym room but trained hard for most of the last 20 years. I also boxed and did martial arts when I was younger for a few years and recently have started playing football (soccer).
I recently had an MRI done on my left knee as I have been getting pain above the knee for a while. The doc said it was a minor cartilage defect on the medial trochlear (8mm) so am booked in to get microfracture surgery. The MRI showed some scar tissue on the ACL and it is not torn but stretched and my knee is quite loose moving forwards and backwards but side movements are strong and there is no pain, only if I rn around for a while or do some squats etc.
My question is will a repair stack help the ACL heal back to be strong enough to play soccer and run around again without any pain and should that help the knee strengthen and stabilise , maybe not 100% but should I see noticeable improvement. I am planning to run something after my operation and when I am doing physical therapy. I have asked my doctor about DECA and Sarms but they dont know anything and have recommended Glucosamine.
At the moment I am leaning towards the repair stack ran with my post operation recovery physical therapy, so any advice would be great!
Also, I am in Thailand anyone have experience shipping here? Customs are really hit and miss here.
