Recovering from ACL surgery?

Question

its been ALMOST 4 weeks (2 more days)

but i still cant fully straighten my leg

is this a problem?

should i have been able to straighten it before?

Answer 1

How old are you now? You should be in a PT program and at least for now you can bend your knee but not full ROM. and you can walk with out any assistive device. Moreover, it is not a problem if you're not experiencing any pain on the site of surgery. You should consult your doctor regarding that issue. Thanks!

Answer 2

not necessarily.  are you in physical therapy?  if you had ACL surgery, you should be in PT and they'll monitor your progress.  i couldn't straighten my leg fully for about a month-a month and a half.  it just depends on your body.  hope this helps!
