Physio

[Maxf]

Had some physio yesterday on my knee (had an ACL graft 2 1/2 weeks ago). Before the session I was thinking I could bin the crutches, but I woke up this morning feeling like I did a week ago, with kneecap pain and lots of stiffness (fnar) and an inability to fully straighten my leg and in full need of my crutches again!

Is this normal - will it get worse before it gets better, in this way?

Cool - thanks for the info.

I've got an ice machine thingy so will make sure that is on overdrive tonight.

Worst thing is it is my birthday party tomorrow, so I'm going to be a right grumpy fker all night!

I'm on the ibuprofen and will ice tonight/tomorrow morning. I dont want to take any tablets tomorrow as I want a few drinks at least tomorrow night!

Thanks GG. I'm certainly taking it easier than I had planned pre-op. I'm walking without a limp, but still using crutches for my 0.75mile walk to work just to add a bit of stability and reduce pressure, aside from that I'm on either a single or no crutch - depending on how far I'm going.

Before the last physio I was pretty upbeat as I could strighten it, and was beginning to tackle stairs properly, rather than 1 step at a time.
