Are you still using the magic treatment - ice? After my ACL/MCL replacements, I iced for nearly 6 months - even once a day at work. The other helps for swelling are "legs up the wall" lie on your back with your legs resting on a wall (moves fluid up to the abdomen where body can get rid of it.) And lymphatic massage using a "stripping motion" toward your heart (if someone can do it for you while your legs are up it is especially good.)

Your determination to recover are an inspiration. Thanks for sharing your journey.

See, really? Makes sense. I never thought of legs up the wall so it goes to the abdomen. Great tip, thanks for sharing.
