It's been a month since my revision ACL surgery and meniscus repair. I've been doing physio and can bend my knee almost fully, but I still can't straighten it completely like my other knee it stays a bit forward when I stand. Is this normal, or should I be doing something different to help it straighten out?

For non-surgical management of a slipped disc at L4-L5 causing right leg pain, consider over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or naproxen, and potentially prescription pain medications like tramadol or corticosteroids under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
