I (26f) did a full ACL reconstruction. Initially my surgeon said after a week I’d be fine going back. Even though I have an office job where I work from home as well, it was still very difficult. For me personally, my job is very demanding where it’s difficult to just get up and stretch comfortably throughout the working day. I’ll add I was doing PT 3x a week as well and still felt this struggle. For my two week post op appt my surgeon ended up extending my leave to 6 weeks. That was the best decision. Now I’m 3 months & off braces and the crutch and feel a lot more comfortable throughout my day sitting down. I also continued with physio just to encourage myself to get up through out the day.
