Hello @theswedking and welcome to Mayo Connect. I am so sorry to hear of your pain post-surgery. I read and then re-read your post to see if you mentioned how long ago you had the ACL surgery. Has it been more than a month since your surgery? Have you contacted the surgeon to see if this level of pain in typical?

It has been 8 days post op. I am always pushing myself and I apparently can't do it with this surgery. I am so used to pushing myself after surgery. 2 weeks after spinal fusion I was mowing the lawn or the day after hip surgery I was walking around with no issue.

I fell the day of my surgery when I got home, thanks to the snow and the knee buckling. They did prescribe a different medication. I see the orthopedic team in a week, I am hoping I am just over doing it and that I just need to rest more. This pain is making dry socket a run for its money.
