Hi everyone! I’m freaking out. Earlier today my good foot got caught on my excercise band and I had to put weight on my operate knee. It was very quick, no pain whatsoever. But I did lose some extension and flexion due to swelling. And then tonight while I was on the cycle I made an abrupt stop with my operated knee by mistake. Again it wasn’t much, just dull pain and swelling. What are the chances I re-tore my acl or meniscus?
I had an allograft with extensive meniscus repair. I’m 3 weeks post-op. I was weight bearing from the get go and had no brace. My extension seems to be stuck. I can make my knee straight but it doesn’t match my hyperextension on the other knee. I go to physio 2 times a week and she’s not concerned at all and said I’m making good progress. I’ve been doing the excercises at home two times a day, heel props with weight on knee, quad sets, banded knee straightening but it just seems stuck. I still have swelling and muscle guarding as my hamstring is super tight. Is there any need for concern? Please let me know. My flexion is amazing - I’ve been cycling for the last week without any problems.
