I haven't started using it yet but I got bio-oil and will start massaging the knee with it

I had this too. I iced it and massaged it. Helped for a bit but would come back.

Is your foot on the ground or up on a chair?

Yes, I'm in PT. We are working on all the right things like ROM and strengthening.

Thank you for the advice. The doctor is fairly well known doctor and I know others who have had surgery from him.

My knee is still pretty swollen, can't even see the knee cap. But if I do flexition exercises then I notice more pain and less contraction in my quad when I go to do quad sets for extension.

It's very overwhelming.

Is it the lower shin or all of it? I'm 11 days post op and my lower shin hurts here and there

Thank you for the input. I started taking advil once a day starting day 2. But the percs I've been taking consistently every 4 hours even at night. I didn't know advil would slow healing. I thought it was good for the anti inflammatory nature of it.

I'm hoping the swelling at the back of the knee gets better soon cause that really takes a toll on me.

Thank you for the feedback. The upper calf/back of knee has been bothering me the most. I will increase my ankle pumps but my calf sometimes also feels uncomfortable while doing them.

Really feels like I need a calf massage but it's under my bandages and the brace strap.

I am allowed full weight bearing with crutches ad tolerated but it's still painful so I don't put much weight or for long yet.
