I had ACL surgery exactly 3 weeks ago and am doing all the Doc's and PT guys say to do except I had started wearing my brace a little early thinking it might help me build my muscle back faster. I have hit a wall and my knee seems to stay stiff. Cannot get it much past 90 degrees flex and am a good ways from 100 percent extension. My incisions have not healed yet and my muscle & leg just looks like it is getting smaller. I am pissed because I normally bounce back from injuries quickly. Although I am almost 40 I see people in physical therapy older than me that are way ahead of me. Some of them with Bilateral knee replacements! I am VERY frustrated. Any advice from those with ACL repairs?
