I had a right total ACL reconstruction on the 10th of this month and i've been in a lot of pain ever since. I'm also missing bone cartilage in parts of my right knee so they created microfractures in the bone to stimulate cartilage growth. The thing with the microfracture is that i cant apply any weight to the right leg for 6-8 weeks, so when i try to talk i have to use an imobolizer (special knee bace) on my right knee, and when i'm using my crutches i cannot let my right foot to ever touch the ground. So everywhere i go for about 6 weeks i have to use crutches. Long story short, today i had my 1st poker session in over a week which lasted for about 2 hours (baby steps, will try to go for 3 hours tomorrow). After 2 hours my knee started to get really warm, i guess because i was sitting in my computer chair and the right leg wasn't elevated, but tomorrow i plan to have some ice packs on hand. All i can say is i'm feeling much better each day and i keep seeing improvements in the range of motion of my knee. I still have to pee in a hand held urinal because i pee every 2 hours usually (even before the surgery, i just always pee a lot since i'm always drinking water) and putting on the knee emobilizer can be sometimes painful just for a bathroom trip and back. Anyways, wish me luck for a speedy recovery, take care everyone

why not get a foot rest so sitting at your computer doesn't harm your leg at all? |

Speedy recovery to you ^^
I had a leg immobilizer once, had osgood schlaters, was brutal having it for 3-4 months immobilized. The worst was learning to walk after having your leg stuck stiff for that many months. Would cry trying to walk up and down the hall way while trying to bend it. |

Did you have this during a growth spurt when you were a kid? |
