I had my left ACL reconstructed with an allograft, which is a tendon from a cadeavor. The surgery was done 3 weeks ago. I go to physical therapy 3 times a week and slowly the flexion is coming back. I am up to a 120 degree bend now and I walk without the knee immobolizer now. I still have swelling around the knee, which concerns me, but the PT says this is normal.
My doc says 6-9 months before I can get back on my dirt bike :ugg:
Can someone answer these few questions for me:
1. How long does it normally take to get off the pain medicine? I take Lortab 7.5mg 3 times a day
2. How long does the swelling last?
3. How long did it take you guys to get back on your dirt bikes?
Thanks for your input.
