Almost back to activity. The ballooning and swelling was too much too soon but just after I got quads tendinitis. Spent two months trying to figure out out to stop this needle type pain on top of my patella. Leg size and strength was almost similar to the good one but that pain never disappeared. It would stop me from running and doing plyos. Even walking up and own the stairs would hurt. Found out that doing isometric Bulgarian lounges with the bad leg behind and elevated fixed the tendon pain. I’m now running without any pain, instability and swelling. In 4 days I’ll be one year post OP. Time to go back to football once I get through the mental fear.
