Knee bend after ACL reconstruction

2017-05-18 16:40:55
Today is day 10 post my ACL reconstruction using hamstring autograft. Progress has been good overall till now and my only medication now is Naprosin 250 mg. I am on a single forearm crutch now, and doing PT as advised. Knee extension has restored almost completely but there is hamstring pain even with a 10 degree knee curl. Is it normal? Also, I am only able to bend the knee by 25 degrees at most post which there is a sharp pain. How will I regain the bend in the knee? Will it happen with time? There is still a bit of swelling around my knee and my stitches are still there. So please help me out.

Don't worry, you will gain knee Rom in few weeks, I recommend you do some ice fomentation twice a day, continue your physio plan. If your pain is more you may add tab crocin also.
