ACL and MCL tear surgery right knee
Recently underwent an ACL reconstruction surgery along with MCL repair for the same knee. 3.5 weeks post op.
When I try to bend my knee. after straight leg exercises( towel press under the knee and the ankle), my knee locks up. It only lasts for a second and all I have to do is relax my leg and then I can bend it. But there is a popping sound with a very mild pain when I bend it the first time after the straight leg pressing exercises. After that I can bend it normally. Is it normal?
This might be sure to femoral endobutton pressing on IT band..or some other surgical component impinging on knee structures.
Also it is possible if you have a meniscal tear that has not been dealt with.
