100 days out I started a new exercise to work on straightening my leg a little more….well I am swollen and in pain …. I have been mainly focusing on flexion so I thought ok time to start bringing some other exercises in to straighten my leg …. I went to mfr yesterday a day early it helped not as bad today …..I even took day of exercise yesterday that’s rare for me …..not sure how to approach straightening my leg …..I am off by few degrees ….but I will figure it out I took one step back now I am looking forward to the few steps forward …..

Hi exas,

You can work on improving extension (getting your extended leg to zero degrees) by propping your foot up on a large, firm pillow or yoga bolster. Your knee will just hang in space and tend to straighten over time. You can even push on it and hold that for a few seconds every once in a while. Just don't push past pain. You should feel a good stretch.

You're doing great! Keep it up!
