Hi all. Today I'm two weeks post knee reconstruction for a ruptured ACL that I did playing footy earlier in the year. The first 10 days were very positive as I could see and feel progress every day through things like pain improving, swelling going down and little achievements like getting out of bed day 1 morning using a frame, getting around on crutches day 1 afternoon, going to one crutch day 5, getting around without crutches day 9. The last few days however, I'll admit to feeling a bit flat with the soreness of my hammy, and tendons around the knee, some pain behind the knee cap and the realisation that its not all going to improve as quickly as I want it to.
I'm hoping to hear from anyone who's been through a knee reco themselves and what timeframe they made progress over. Any advice, tips, things to avoid etc.
I'm really feeling for Matty Scharenburg knowing that he's been through this and now has to go through it AGAIN. Not fun.
Any contributions greatly appreciated.
Cheers
