For athletes, there is nothing worse than suffering a sports injury that takes them out of competition, as was the case for Chicago Cubs player Kyle Schwarber. In April, the left fielder suffered full tears to the ACL and LCL in his left knee. He returned to start the first game of the World Series as a designated hitter, having been cleared by his medical staff to bat. While some injuries require more rest and rehabilitation than others, those who undergo surgery for an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury need to take it slow before heading back into play.
