A member asked:
It's been a week after acl reconstruction and swelling is a problem. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some is expected...: Pain and stiffness are expected to a certain degree in the recovery phases of acl reconstruction. If you had recent surgery i would suggest you continue rice, post-op exercises, and pt as directed. However, if this pain seems to be indicative of infection or DVT (due to time frame of surgery or any other symptoms) then contact your surgeon asap.
