ACL Reconstruction & Meniscus Repair: 5 Weeks Post Op_Pt 1

[tkamel18]

I am a 29 yr old male and had acl and lateral/meniscus surgery 3 weeks ago. It has been a struggle but I feel many of the same symptoms you describe. I have gained full extension (0 degrees) but can only get to about 75 degrees inward. I'm still on crutches but am putting about 50-70% weight on the leg while walking in the brace. My biggest frustration is the swelling, which is improving at a slow pace. How much did your swelling improve over time?
