Recovery from MCL surgery.

Recovery from MCL surgery.

Hi all,

Dislocated knee cap and MCL repair surgery in January.

4 and a half months on - as you can see I still have swelling - just wondered if anyone else is going through the same thing ?

Knee still locks doing heel slides at a certain angle , and or though I push myself as much as I can- it will not bend any further.

Doing physio every day - using ibuprofen gel three times a day, ice , stretches - is it normal for this to be so swollen at this stage ?

Any other tips for recovery? I know it’s a long process , and progress can be slow.

I could do with some positivity, as I get easily frustrated haha.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for reading this
