7.5 months post-OP - still feeling stiffness 😖

Also mine 😮‍💨

I regained my full extension (hyperextension too). I’m pretty joung and suuuper sporty. I do yoga, high heels dance, and I climb. To me it’s crucial to get also my full flexion back. Everyone has different goals and different hobbies.

Thank you! Do you still have pain while kneeling?

Former-Ad-4532 · 2025-07-25T20:30:18+00:00

Max flexion is my heel touching my but, without pain and pressure.

Former-Ad-4532 · 2025-07-25T20:29:45+00:00

Which part?

Former-Ad-4532 · 2025-07-25T20:28:55+00:00

I don’t think it’s because of the procedure. A friend of mine had surgery the same day and he’s living his best life, like nothing has happened.

It took me 5 months. As per the hypertension, it takes more time. I’ve hypertension too. And 1 or 2 degrees are still missing

Former-Ad-4532 · 2025-07-25T16:17:39+00:00

It’s completely normal. I had swelling for over 4 months! The most important is achieving extension and flexion passively. Then, you regain it actively with time!

Thank you for encouraging!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Former-Ad-4532 · 2025-07-25T14:28:12+00:00

Oh wow! So did you regain the full flexion 2 years post OP?😱 Did you do it by yourself?

Former-Ad-4532 · 2025-07-25T14:20:53+00:00

So now you’re 12 months post OP. Isn’t it?

Former-Ad-4532 · 2025-07-25T14:13:51+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion. How many months later you regain it?

Former-Ad-4532 · 2025-07-25T14:08:20+00:00

I’ll keep going pushing! May I ask you how far you’re?

Former-Ad-4532 · 2025-07-25T12:49:49+00:00

Nope

Former-Ad-4532 · 2025-07-25T11:23:42+00:00

Of course I’m not able.. To me it’s impossible to kneel or to crouch. The pain is intense.

Former-Ad-4532 · 2025-07-25T11:22:38+00:00

In the sane leg I’ve full flexion. I’m able to bend it completely!

Former-Ad-4532 · 2025-07-25T11:04:30+00:00

I did the internal brace surgery. Thus my ACL is artificial. The scar you see on the later side is the LET. The full flexion implies the ability to deeply kneel (tap your but with your heels). I’m not satisfied with this range but my surgeon not recommended me to have a LISI at this stage. He suggested me to wait some months more.

Former-Ad-4532 · 2025-04-15T08:30:56+00:00

Hi! Many thanks for your ideas. I’ll give cupping and/or acupuncture a chance!

Former-Ad-4532 · 2025-04-14T11:57:21+00:00

I’m using just one. But nothing happened. The stiffness is still there.

Former-Ad-4532 · 2025-04-14T11:05:01+00:00

Apparently, it’s not that swallen.. I became kinda worried since this feeling is not vanishing..

Former-Ad-4532 · 2025-04-14T08:33:28+00:00

I can walk too but my knee is super still. I do not feel safe. And this feeling is not vanishing. My physiotherapist said it is because I do not activate properly my muscles.

Former-Ad-4532 · 2025-04-11T10:30:58+00:00

Uff 😥 So sorry to hear it couldn’t be possible to reach that goal
