ACL Reconstruction Surgery Recovery - Sixth Month

6 Months

I'm working my legs out at least 4 days a week and stretching daily, and the leg is still quite swolen. The biggest progress since the last update is that I don't have to worry about my leg being bent while sitting or sleeping as much anymore, as it's able to straighten out (with no limp) faster now. Until all swelling is subsided I don't think I'll be able to lock the surgically repaired knee in parallel with my healthy knee.

I scheduled an appointment with the surgeon to talk to him about why i can feel two clicks in my knee when I straighten it out (it's more noticable at night while I'm in bed and there are no distractions). The appointment is around the 7 month mark, I'll follow up then.
