I'm experiencing pain in the upper side of my chest, and it feels like it might be related to a bone or muscle because there's some swelling under the skin. My lower neck sometimes aches too. The pain in the swollen area seems to flare up every now and then. What could be causing this, and should I be worried about it?

20 days post ACL surgery with hamstring autograft and partial medial meniscectomy, my operated leg looks much thinner and weaker now. The calf has lost size and firmness too. Is this muscle loss normal after surgery and how long does it usually take to regain the original leg diameter and strength?
Yes, the thinning and weakening of your operated leg, including the calf, is a common and normal occurrence after ACL surgery with hamstring autograft and partial meniscectomy. This muscle loss, known as disuse atrophy, is primarily due to the limited activity and immobilization in the initial post-operative period. The recovery timeline for regaining original leg diameter and strength varies, but it can take several months, typically 9 to 12 months, with a gradual progression through physical therapy
