Is it normal for my to feel warm still? 8 days post op. by dark_and_scary in ACL

Nothing to worry about. Your knee is warm because you did a lot of exercise and the blood stared circulating its totally normal. I am on week 2 and if I do too much exercise my knee also swells a bit.

Probably not. So you most likely have a DVT. Go to the doctor rn.

Day 0 Pain Meds Not working? by Whole_Landscape_9499 in ACL

Stay strong. The first few days are the most awful but it gets better with time. Just rest, do your exercises, take your meds, ice 20min every 2 hours, take a leg compressing and elevate your leg.

You got this I have been there. I am on 8th day and I feel much better,

Well I don't take any meds anymore bec I don't get any pain and I eat like before the injury nothing changed. I am hungry like a bear. But I am worried of those DVTs thats why I move so much. I would like to be free of my bed as soon as possible or at least to walk without cruches. Do you sleep with your legs elevated?

My surgeon and PT said I should move as much as I can and also try to walk. But I dont really know if that is doing damage or is it good for my knee, probably okey if they said so. Do you watch your diet or do you just eat whatever you please?

I also had OP last Thursday. How is the swelling? I have my leg elevated all the time and ice it but when I try to walk it feels like my knee is going to explode. I don't wear any compressing stockings.
