thanks guys,

this is crap, about the not squatting and deadlifting part until about a year.

From the country where i'm in, this procedure costs $3-4k not including rehab costs, so it is not cheap, but not as expensive as in the US. According the the dr., the procedure will be done arthroscopically so healing time is faster, and hamstring tendon will be used for the autograft.

I guess i'll just work harder on the rehab to get back faster.

One more thing, how is the spinal anesthecia (sp?) administered? lol. I'm not afraid of needles or anything, but i dont really like the idea of sticking something in my spine
