Hey guys. I’m 4 weeks post acl and meniscus repair surgery. I’ve been struggling for weeks now trying to bend my knee. It’s stuck at 40 degrees flexion. It feels like something is stuck there and my knee first needs to pop up before it can bend.

My physio is concerned with the lack of bending and I have another appointment with her tomorrow.

Might be good to mention that due to the severity of my injury when it happened all the way to surgery, I couldn’t put any weight on it and was on crutches for 6-7 weeks before I had surgery. So my thighs and I’m guessing everything else surrounding my knee is really tight.

Just looking for some other people that have done through similar!! I really don’t want to have an MUA (my surgeon mentioned it in my 2 weeks post op appointment) so I’m hoping with efforts from my physio we can get it bending.

Hi! I’m 11 days post ACL and meniscus (repaired) surgery. The first week was absolute hell, but I still tried to do rehab exercises to get movement going. However, I can’t bend my knee at all, I was able to a few days post op (very little though), but now I can’t at all.

Anyone have any tips to get some bend? I’m getting stitches out in a couple days - hopefully that’ll help?

Hi all! I’m now 8 days post acl and meniscus surgery! Just wondering when the pain mostly went away for you guys?
For a day it got a bit better but now it’s back again. Really need some hope that I’m on the final stretch of the pain because it’s just constant.

Hi all!! I had ACL and meniscus repair going on just about 6 days now. Whenever I stand up I feel pulling from the left side of my knee (where I’m assuming the stitches are pulling) and when I crutch around I’m finding my knee is locking up, lifting and spasming. Has anyone else had this issue?

This was happening to me before surgery for a bit (I had a buckle handle meniscus tear that made it physically impossible to walk so I had to use crutches before surgery).
