NFenske is correct. He has been there and he knows that pushing your recovery will just set it back. What will do you the best is to rest, elevate and ice. Gentle movements will be all the exercise your knee needs.
You'll notice that I have merged your two threads together as we prefer that members in recovery only have one thread.
This is for three reasons:
1. if you keep starting new threads, you miss the posts others have left you in the old threads
2. it often ends up that information is unnecessarily repeated
3. it's best if we can keep all your recovery story in one place so it's easily accessed if we need to advise you.
Please keep all your questions and updates on this thread. Bookmark it if you can, so you don't lose it.
Don't worry that we won't see your questions as, between us, the staff read all new posts every day.
If you prefer a different thread title, just post what you want and we'll get it changed for you.
If you need an urgent response to a question, just tag a member of staff.

How can I find my threads and posts? Many members bookmark their thread, so they can find it when they log on.
