Post acl surgery.

2017-08-06 12:37:57
It's been 26 days of my ACL RECONSTRUCTION using hamstring autograft and partial meniscectomy. Still I am not allowed to put any weight on my leg and straight knee brace is tied to my leg full time. My operated legs calf size and rigidity is reduced drastically. Swelling is still there. Physiotherapy is on. Is that normal. What can I do??
