Calf Stiffness Post ACL reconstruction

2017-05-21 19:09:12
Its been 2 weeks since I had an ACL reconstruction on my right leg with hamstring tendon as the autograft. I am currently walking with a single crutch and undergoing rigorous physiotherapy to get back ROM. I am having extremely sore mornings with stiffness in the operated leg. Most importantly, the medial side of the right calf is extremely stiff and painful which is causing me a lot of pain during physiotherapy. I am applying ice to it about 4 times a day but still the area has been very painful. There is no clot or swelling in my operated leg. What should I do to reduce the pain and discomfort? Will the pain fade away with time?
