Question

Had ACL surgery in January and can walk fine now, but when I try to brisk walk, my knee feels like it's giving out. There's still swelling, and I can't bend it past 120 degrees. Sometimes I get sudden pain that reminds me of the injury. Going downstairs is tough even though I can manage upstairs. Is this normal or should I be worried?

Post-ACL symptoms suggest incomplete recovery or complications—repeat evaluation and guided rehab are recommended.
