4 years ago i tore my anterior cruciate ligament in my knee (had MRI scan to diagnose this).For the most part i can get on with everyday life, i can do my horse riding, walking and even running. Now and again my knee 'pops' out but usually pops back in if i straighten my leg, however over christmas it popped out and wouldn't pop back in, i got my husband to pull my leg and it popped back, The other morning my knee popped out again (just turning over in the bed), it was VERY painful, i tried to pop it back in but couldn't, i could not put any weight on it, i got the crutches out and went to doc, she sent me to a&e, they said x-ray showed bones were in place, they said i need to go to orthopedic surgeon and get a key hole scope to clean out knee, however to fix the tear of the ligament i would need a reconstruction op, i have heard it takes long time to heal and is not always successful. Has anyone out there had this op done and how long does it take to heal, was it successful?

I've been shaking on and off for the past two days and my heart sometimes beats really fast. I thought it could be just stress related, I've went through a lot the past three years. divorce, death of a close friend, and family member. And having three small kids. I am getting those going to the doctor jitters though. What do you think?

I have a really bad habit of picking my face when i break out and i always end up getting scars or dark marks that never go away. I'm not sure if they are acne scars but whatever they are i need to make them go away. I have heard of chemical peels but i do not have the budget for one. Anything recommended is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

PS - I'm really looking for something that i could by over the counter at a walgreens or rite aid.
