A member asked:
2 weeks after acl reconstruction, laying down can i stretch any way i want to? do i risk injuring anything?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Careful: After 2 weeks the patient is usually being treated by a physical therapist. If so, ask for guidance. Otherwise ask your orthopedic surgeon for do's and don't's. He/she knows your status as regards presence of knee swelling and weight bearing. Obviously you should avoid any substantial strain on the knee.
