After ACL surgery, start physio within 1 week; focus on quad strengthening, ROM, balance, and later sport-specific drills—gradual return in 4–6 months.

I'm dealing with this painful swelling on the middle right side of my back, and it feels like the muscle there has turned into a rock. It really hurts when I try to sleep on that side. Went to my GP and got some meds and cream, but they havent really done the trick. Could this be a muscle knot, and what can I do to get rid of it?
