@jovanrakic oh and im only 4 days post op and i was already cleared to start doing first week physical therapy excercises by my doc today, he says im ahead of schedule.
@Pro291 It entirely depends on the surgeon they have and to what extent they repair your knee
I had my left acl and meniscus done 7days ago.
They put me in a brace for 2days(non weight bearing) since they have given me exercises to do for the two weeks(3week post op) which were;
full extension,flexion to 90degrees,leg raises.
extension is the worst but you will be fine! just don't push yourself too hard! i am assuming the op was today so hope it went well and good luck on your recovery!
Hey there I'm having an acl reconstruction with a hamstring tendon and meniscus repair next Wednesday in the uk, I have just been told that I will have to wear a brace for 6 weeks before I start work on my leg..!
Is this common to wait that long before starting on exercising to my full range of motion back...? Any advice greatly appreciated

Did they harvest from your ham\string or from the patella tendon?
