When can I return to my normal activities?

It will take time to fully recover and return to your normal activities.
Everyone recovers at a different rate. Allow time to rest.
When resting keep your leg and knee up on a pillow. You will
need to use crutches to get around at first.
Your surgeon and therapist will watch your progress closely,
and gradually allow you to increase your activities when your
knee is ready. It can take up to 12 to 18 months or more for
your knee to feel the way it did before your injury.
Do not drive your car, truck or motorcycle until your surgeon
gives you the okay to drive.

Follow-up appointment
Your surgeon will tell you when to make your follow-up appointment.
If you have any questions for your surgeon, please write them down,
so you can remember them, when you see him or her.
