it's been 6 weeks since my acl and meniscus surgery - can i ditch the knee brace and crutches now and start climbing stairs normally?

It's generally advisable to consult with your surgeon or physical therapist before making any significant changes to your recovery plan, especially after ACL and meniscus surgery.
