What a difference 3 weeks makes! I am bending my knee 0-70 in weight bearing. That is the limit of what I am allowed to do until after 12 weeks. I am walking normallly now and walking to work. I still have to wear the brace but I am strong enough I feel like I don't need it much. I am able to bend my knee 110 degrees and I can pedal on the stationary bike at light resistance. I am working out 20 minutes on the elliptical trainer and 10 minutes on the stairmaster and continue to do core work and upper body strengthening. Only body weight strengthening of step ups on 6 inch step for now. No resistance until week 12 is allowed. My work schedule is normal. I continue to ice my knee 3x/day. 3 more weeks and I am done with the brace!!
