I didn't have surgery and opted for weeks of excruciating physical therapy.
Diggs has a lot of work ahead.

(69,869 posts)...he had partial tears of the MCL & PCL, too.
PT won't be effective in getting him back on the field with zero stability for quite a few weeks.
Surgery is almost certain, unfortunately for him.

(48,781 posts)Diggs may have a permanent limp at best and may have to retire at worst.

(5,170 posts)I heard them pop as it happened. I was generally OK that day (I could walk but couldn't ski, so had to take a snow mobile down the hill), but holy hell did it hurt the next day. Fortunately, I didn't need surgery.
