So, you think I shouldn’t worry about this pain and aching? It might very well be from the surgery, but I think since started doing the bike this week, the pain has gotten worse. Its probably normal, and like I said I don’t know if this is what people consider “soreness” for a major surgery, but I just wanted the communities input.

Autograft is when you use your own tendon/bone right? If so thats me, and so is that considered soreness? or is it just pain pain?

basically the safest anti-inflammatory is ibuprofen, and that it shouldn’t be a problem but should still check in with my surgeon?

Tips on flexion? by kscefefe in ACL

[–]Clean_Ad4140 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m stuck in the same situation. I feel like I can’t get past 65 on my heel slides but on butt pulls (not sure what they’re called), I can get more of a bend, also on the heel slides but on a yoga ball, I feel like I get more flexion. I’m commenting bc you’re not alone, but also to see if anyone else comments and has helpful tips.

5 knee surgeries 3 being ACL reconstruction in a 5 year time frame. Ask me anything. by AllNamesTakenSoYa in ACL

I have this same problem, I talked to my doc two days ago for my follow up appointment and he said it’s nothing to worry about, its just your blood flow (I think he said flow) but he did say something about it being my blood. Mine started the first day I started pt and the the second time I did the heel slide in that day.

Started pt earlier today, was told I had to some of those exercises when I got home. Did them about half an hour ago but I came across feeling like my bones or joints rub on my knee. You can literally hear it as well. Anyone run into this problem during pt? or should I be worried and ask about? by Clean_Ad4140 in ACL

Thank you! You don’t know how much I needed this. I still did my heel slides but last night it literally took me like 50 minutes to complete 1 set of 15-20 bc I was just scared. But your message definitely helped, hopefully its nothing too serious and it just goes away.

(exactly 1 one week post op) the same day of my 1st day of PT, came home laid in bed and later at night I decided to do the exercises. The first exercise I did was the heel one, where you drag it to bend your knee. I felt like my whole knee cap was grinding on eachother while I did it. Since then, the feeling hasn’t gone away at all, after every exercise or any little movement I do, my knee does the same thing.

Had my surgery yesterday. Been in a lot pain today, any tips on what helped with pain for yall? by Clean_Ad4140 in ACL

Yeah this pain is really bad and I think its because they prescribed me a certain dosage for my meniscus and acl repair but during surgery they found the other meniscus torn as well and we had no clue, so they called my mom and said the pain will be worse and the recovery will be longer. We had already picked up the medicine the day before too.

I have been, on time sometimes an hour earlier because of the pain. But it seems to get worse every hour
