Questions 5 Weeks after ACL and Meniscus Op - - Posted by glendem2 (glendem2), 26 January 2005

Recovering from an ACL and Medial Meniscus Op on 22nd December. After 4 weeks I thought I was doing well and went down to one crutch. After 3 days I sufferred severe stabbing pains just below my knee when I extended my leg. Is this normal ?
Since then I've gone back to using 2 crutches. Feel I have fallen back a couple of weeks by rushing to get off crutches. Can anyone give me advie on how I can reduce my dependency on crutches.

I've only started using a stationary bike in the last 2 days to build up my thigh muscles. Have noticed I suffer a strain near my groin. Is this to be expected ?
