ACL and MCL tear surgery right knee
Recently underwent an ACL reconstruction surgery along with MCL repair for the same knee. 3.5 weeks post op.
When I try to bend my knee. after straight leg exercises( towel press under the knee and the ankle), my knee locks up. It only lasts for a second and all I have to do is relax my leg and then I can bend it. But there is a popping sound with a very mild pain when I bend it the first time after the straight leg pressing exercises. After that I can bend it normally. Is it normal?
