ACL Reconstruction Surgery Recovery - Eighteenth Month

18 Months

I've continued to stretch aggressively, through discomfort in my knee, and it's had good results. I have been sitting back (with my legs bent) on my heels, through pain, and it's helped restore even more ROM, but there is still swelling that is making it painful. Since my last update I've definitely noticed more looseness and less pain, and the audible popping has gone away when doing the same yoga moves.

If I could go back in time to earlier in the rehab process, I would myself to stretch more aggressively through the pain and discomfort (obviously not to the point where you might reinjure yourself though).
