So sorry to hear this.
Im 2 months out and I am having a difficult time strengthening my quad.
I do all the exercises.
Ex. When I do leg raises I get clicking in my hip, not getting the strength from my quad.
Thanks

Have you been evaluated by a PT to determine whether you are doing squats or wall squats correctly to challenge your quads? When muscles are weak, we often unknowingly "recruit" other muscles to accomplish an exercise which doesn't help strengthen the intended ones.
