[Week 4] Day 22 – 28 Post ACL reconstruction surgery recovery

I can now walk normally off the brace if I choose to, but the physio says I should still wear the brace to prevent any further injury to the knee, and to allow the ACL graft to heal properly.

I will stop updating on the pain and mobility because there is not much pain left, only my limited range at the extremities of my knee (meaning I can stretch fully or bend fully). As for mobility, since I can walk, I’m mobile enough to get by. And I’m already back at work this week.

Since I can already walk normally, I don’t think so much about my knee as well. Prior to this week, walking down the stairs (in a normal motion) was difficult as my leg still had pain. This week, I’m able to do it better, and by next week there will probably be even less pain left.
