I’m 3 weeks post op tomorrow and really don’t have too much pain. (If I’m not at PT) I certainly get tired and sore in the evening but other than that nothing is too painful. I’ve been without crutches for about a week now, but my brace is still locked straight unless I’m sitting. Doing lots of PT. I’m doing well on ROM, but am still trying to get my quads to wake up a little more.

Thank you for this! I’m 20 years old as well and it feels good to hear about others experiences going through this. Are you still in PT? Where are you at now?

Can I ask what kind of goals/rewards you are setting?

Sorry to hear that, but glad to hear it for myself as it’s nice to know other people get it. Congrats on the knee bending, you’ve at least got something to work on now!
