Bob's ACL WWWBoard

day 22 for 12 yo daughter

So far so good. Have been back to the dr. twice for check-ups & they are very pleased, which means we are very pleased. By day 17 extension is great on both knees & flexion is 134 degrees on the acl knee. She actually had swelling on her acl from having to walk at school a lot the previous day.

Actually it's quite simple, if you have some swelling back-off the flexion some, ice & aleve more & things will be better in a day or so. The Dr. & staff were very happy and surprised she could get to 134 degrees while having a little bit of swelling. She's also doing leg presses & leg extension exercises on her graft knee & that is going well also(Once a day 5-7X a week). Plus she's doing wall slides, heel slides, heel props, leg lifts(sort of) & step downs for her graft leg. She does all of those 4x a day 7 days a week.

So far so good.
