Knee bend after ACL reconstruction
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.
