[QUOTE="James, post: 692354, member: 27207"] I had mine done on Monday. Very little pain and it only hurts when I let it get stiff or if I move way past my current range of comfortable movement. I got the nerve block and only took pain pills the first three days because they told me that would help with the swelling. I currently have full extension and well over 90 degrees bend. I think the swelling is most of what keeps me from moving it better than I do. Swelling isn't terrible but it is a little puffy. I can walk without crutches and it almost appears like I am walking normal after my leg is exercised and stretched a bit. Those first few steps are tough after I have been sitting for a while though. I can also drive my truck (work the clutch - left knee) if I wanted to. I started the recumbant bike at PT on Friday and I can see bike riding and swimming at 6 weeks. From what I understand...it is NEVER good as new. I think you end up with about 90% of new. I have heard of people riding after 1 month braced but I am not going to be that ambitious about it. SUPPOSEDLY, the graft goes through a vunerable period in months 4-6, otherwise the only concern would be that the bone doesn't fill around the graft completely until about 6-8 weeks (2 months). Other than those two things, its just about getting the swelling down and getting your muscles to work again. [/QUOTE]
