Brief Medical History Overview
ACL Surgery Question 1 Month Post Op
Hi everyone,
Im a newbie on this forum and only joined because I needed to ask a question which has been worrying me for a few weeks.
I had ACL surgery with a patella tendon 1 month ago and all seems to be going well. I have ROM way past 90 degrees and my muscle is getting better.
However the thing I am worried about is that sometimes, my knee seems to tighten when trying to bend and i dont want to push any further just in case i rupture anything (i dont think i can push any further due to the knee anyway). It feels like something is stopping it from bending. I then have to stretch the leg out again for a few seconds to get the knee to function again properly. However if i dont then the knee will continue to be restricted.
Another problem i have is that sometimes when i bend the knee a pressure builds and I keep bending, (this is hard to explain!!) and something seems to slide to one side inside the knee or the pressure releases and everything goes back to normal. I dont know if that made sense to anyone. I hope it did!
I dont know if anybody else has experienced this before and I am dying to get some answers as the worrying is killing me!
Any input would be great
Thanks
Simon
