Hi

Had a PLC reconstruction using the Larson technique about 14 weeks ago. Woke from op with terrible hamstring pain in the leg with reconstruction (despite graft coming from the other leg). That pain has started to fade, and was apparently related to the tourniquet.

Post op from hospital I was given crutches, no brace and no compression. I was encouraged to do full weight bearing exercises week 2, and walk without crutches week 3.

I'm still in really bad pain at the top of the fibula and where the hamstring tendons are at the lateral side of the operated leg. Have had to stop any quad or hamstring exercises because of it. Anyone else had similar.?

Most rehab protocols I've read for Plc reconstructions limit exercise and weight bearing for 6 weeks but I'm not sure if that's out of date now.

It would be nice to know this pain is normal and should get better.
