I'm new here. I had my ACL repaired (by patella tendon) about 5 weeks ago. I could only afford to go to 4 physical therapy sessins, but I do ride my exercise bike everyday, and am back to work as of last week. A week ago, I lifted my knee to above waist height and felt something pull very painfully in the back of my upper knee. It's SLOWLY feeling better, but I know I undid some of my recovery up to that point. Does anyone have any idea what I might have done? I don't feel it's quite to the point of shelling out money for a doctor visit. Also, when I tore the ACL, I did it doing martial arts. Is there anyone out there who does the same who could tell me when it's safe to return to training?
Thank you.
