Day 50 Post ACL Reconstruction and Meniscus repair surgery
Exactly week 7 post-op today. At week 6 during PT, they did a strength test on the difference between my good leg and the operated leg. The difference was more than 60%. Crap. Still a long way to go.
The swelling has come down quite a bit. The definition of the petalla is more visible now. But there's definitely still swelling which is hindering the ROM, although it is getting better. I cycle on the exercise bike every day and it really helps in the flexion.
The problem now is with the extension. Spoke with the PT about it yesterday and she reckoned it could be due to the hamstring curls that she had added for me in my exercises, because I'm getting the hamstrings to work now so it may be tighted up. Hope this gets better.
