Hi. Life is not bad after acl surgery. You have to take precautions for 1 month or so. After that you can start with your routine daily chores and office work. Car driving after 2-3 months. Bike driving without gear after 3 months. Running, jogging and completely normal after 6-7 months. Hope this helps. Take care
