I have been operated on 31oct for ACL reconstruction. Now my lower leg all swelled up. If i hang my leg to walk, my calf muscle hurts too much, i cant bare to walk. My knee does not hurt any more, but the calf muscle does hurt too much.. my dr did say to start taking baby steps with the operated leg, but i cant fully press my leg on the ground, even though I'm not giving my weight on it, because of the calf muscle hurting. I do all the exercises given to me by the dr. I know its not a big issue.. but i need the pain and the swelling gone.. any help?
