I'm 2 weeks post surgery. This week has been much better for me. The pain is almost totally gone and PT is going better. I’m starting to put weight on my knee and walking but only with the assistance of crutches. I read online that most people are off of crutches in 1-2 weeks. I was really hoping for that but I don’t think it’s going to happen I tried to take a few steps yesterday and my knee didn’t give out but it wasn’t strong enough yet. I think this is probably because before surgery I didn’t use my left leg at all for 6 weeks. So all my muscles (hamstring, quads, etc) are very week. I hope this is why I can’t walk yet. The crutches are very frustrating I mean the knee brace is too but I want to be able to walk without the assistance of crutches. I’m also having trouble getting my leg to 0 degrees. I hope when I achieve the 0 degrees the walking will come next. Overall it seems like I’m a little behind in the recovery process but who knows………..
