The day I tore my ACL while playing football is forever seared into my memory. It was March, 2002. I jumped up to head a ball but a stronger opponent out-muscled me, sending me hurtling back to the ground while my left leg was fully extended. I heard two popping sounds echo inside my head. Then the most excruciating pain swept over me. … [visit site to read more]
