My surgeon released me at 5 weeks and said I could ride my bike, walk or anything. I had no pain. I didn’t start riding my bike until week 7. But the muscle pain on my shin is painful when I put weight on it. It has been like that since week 5-1/2. I had an X-ray and everything g looks great but when I stand it hurts like crazy. I was instructed that I only needed to ice if I’m swollen. My PT had me doing a full workout for 5 weeks 3x a week at the pt location that included leg lifts, bikes, stretching, and so on. I can bend my knee to 140 degrees. I am stretching my knee at home still. Walking my dog, but I wish surgeons would all tell us the same thing.
