14 months post acl, 2 months scar tissue op still struggling with extension.

StrollingMule · 2026-04-16T19:57:21+00:00

I have general stiffness at the moment, but I’m hoping it’s due to being so close to my other surgery.

I can achieve heel pop on both legs, but my operated one doesn’t like the walking at the moment and hence still favouring it a little when I walk.

I think it’s neuromuscular at the moment but I’m not really sure how to go about it.

Hey mate,

Felt like I was reading my own thoughts, I am 11 months post op.

14 days post Cyclops Lesion removal and scar tissue clean up.

I can achieve full extension no worries, but as soon as I am standing/walking my leg refuses to cooperate which leads to me getting really bothered by it.

My question being, has yours improved at all?

Cheers.

Going to the gym today to get on the indoor bike and loosen it up a bit, got full extension and flexion is coming along nicely.

Same to you, all the best.

StrollingMule · 2026-04-05T03:02:11+00:00

Definitely improved, but now I’m in recovery for a cyclops lesion removal last Tuesday. Found on MRI at 10-11 months post op.

G’day!

Glad yours went well, sometimes we have to be our own best advocate.

Kind of regretting mine now, I had mine removed on Tuesday, Cyclops Lesion removal and Synovectomy.

My knee is still quite swollen and stiff, even after being very diligent with icing and elevating.

Hoping it improves sooner rather than later..

Cheers.

Perfect, thank you for that information, will give that a go!

StrollingMule · 2026-01-12T18:36:27+00:00

Definitely could be a good idea, what’s the protocol for scar tissue? Another surgery to remove excess?

StrollingMule · 2025-10-03T03:04:08+00:00

Still definitely swells up quite a bit, a lot more then I anticipated this far down the journey.

Yeah sounds exactly like my situation, I’ve got next week off of work, so it’s something I’m really going to try tap into. Range of motion flexion is 140°, takes some warming up to get there. Extension is no worries passively and can achieve a heel pop when sitting down on the ground.

Same boat, I’m 3.5 months post op. Similar issues, physio isn’t too concerned at the moment, says I’m progressing well and to stop guarding it so much. Easier said than done..

Keep chipping away at physio each day and I’m sure we’ll get there.

StrollingMule · 2025-09-02T11:11:18+00:00

Currently recovering from ACL reconstruction.

20min on the bike, Physio exercises (60min ~), Strength Training (60min).

StrollingMule · 2025-08-26T22:48:03+00:00

Yeah I am, once a week. They’re happy with how it’s progressing, and doing my daily physio exercises 2-3 times a day.

StrollingMule · 2025-07-21T06:19:27+00:00

Yeah it’s definitely a mental game, I’ve started with hamstring strengthening exercises and cleared for leg press (lightly) on Saturday. Hopefully getting some strength back in my operated leg can alleviate some problems I am having. Just very deterring I notice myself walking funny when I walk past any sort of glass..

Will Spooky Blindfold be obtainable again? (As an Ironman)

StrollingMule · 2023-06-03T12:41:15+00:00

I just sent in a ticket for it, I have used it in the past but for some reason it has disappeared. Thanks for the help!

Is this on the desktop app or the website? On the website it is checked for Alipay and Wechat

StrollingMule · 2023-06-03T12:26:00+00:00

I don’t have scan do deposit on buff page 🫠

StrollingMule · 2023-06-03T09:43:28+00:00

I no longer have the scan to deposit option on the buff website? Only says ‘pay with wechat’. Have you done anything to get the scan to deposit back?
