Stiffness in the knee while walking 2 weeks after ACL reconstruction
Posted , 4 users are following.
Happy new year everyone!
I had my ACL reconstruction surgery two weeks ago and just started to walk with one crutch, but while walking I experience significant knee stiffness. Did someone experience similar symptoms? Is it normall after two weeks to have this feeling? Thank you so much!

a graft is used in acl surgery and there's a lot of healing to take place. Plus you get pulled around quite a bit
once the stiches have healed try gentle massage of the knee and leg using something like bio oil and alternate ice and heat.
Let us know how you get on

I wouldn't walk around with one crutch for a while yet. I've used two and I still am at almost 6 weeks.
Welcome to the group and hope you find help and advice from everyone. We're all a nice bunch here
