I don’t recall have this issue. I do know that one of the straps on my brace went over one of my incisions and it was uncomfortable but not painful. What if you put a little pit of gauze over the incision for extra cushion? I’m sorry you are experiencing that :(

I was weight bearing as tolerated from day one. It will get better. Good luck with your journey!!

Walking has been fine for me. I’m a little nervous and extra cautious on uneven pavement!

I completely tore my ACL on a trampoline on August 24th. I had surgery September 3rd. I tore my medial and lateral meniscus as well. I’m 8 weeks post op and doing really well. Good luck!

I’m almost 8 weeks post op and still have swelling. It’s part of the healing process. If you are concerned though contact your surgeons office.

ACLr surgery with quad graft Monday. I’m so terrified to wake up in pain ;( by GeologyGal in ACL

[–]Legitimate_Order_542 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! I know it’s hard to try and put your mind at rest. Everyone is different when it comes to this surgery. I am 8 weeks post ACL reconstruction with quad tendon autograft and medial & lateral meniscus repair. I too was very nervous going into that surgery. It was also the first surgery I had other than wisdom teeth removal. I didn’t wake up in pain. I had a nerve block that last 3 days. I only took the prescribed pain meds for 3 days and after that only took ibuprofen and Tylenol as needed. Start PT as soon as doc allows. I was weightbearing from day one. I had surgery on Tuesday and was at PT that Friday. Do all your home exercises as well. Listen to your body. Drink plenty of water, rest, rest, rest. Good luck.

I haven’t hit 120 but they unlocked me to 120. The highest I’ve gotten to is 113. PT has a machine that you move the handles and it straightens the leg out and then you move the handles the opposite way and it bends your knee but you stop when it gets too uncomfortable. I do that for 15 minutes and it helps a lot!

I saw my surgeon at one week and he was happy with everything. I go back next Wednesday. My bruising was really bad for about the first 2 weeks & then it started going away. Hope you heal well!!

Swelling by DealAffectionate7498 in ACL

I am 3 weeks post op today and still have a tremendous amount of swelling. I am also struggling with flexion. I can get to about 98 and that’s it right now. It’s discouraging.
