Angus Had Surgery and Needs Our Help!

Written to me from Angus.
Let's see if we can give him some good advice in the comments section.

Hi , I emailed you earlier this year asking for some help on your 
blog about my pcl, and last week I finally had surgery which went better
 than I expected. It's been a week since and I can just about put all of
 my weight on it with crutches for reassurance. However it is still 
swollen and I can't bend it past about 30 degrees ( even with a small 
towel). I am doing all the prescribed exercises as well as ice and 
compression. I am keen to get the swelling down, is there anything else 
anyone thinks I should be doing or should it start to decrease within 
the next few weeks? Thanks 

Angus From South Wales needs advice

Hi it's Angus here from South Wales (UK). I've just seen your 

blog on pcl surgeries online and I am looking for some advice. 

Around two years ago I got tackled playing rugby and twisted my 

knee , it swelled up and I had difficulty walking on it the 

physio I had at the time examined it and said that it was only 

a minor sprain and to rest and ice it etc. A month or so later

 I noticed that I could move my shin bone back and forth by just

tensing my leg muscles , there was also instability when I tried 

to squat or bend my knee. The next physio I saw examined me and 

told me that I may have torn my ACL ligament and to book an 

appointment with a knee specialist who eventually ordered an 
MRI. Surprisingly the scan showed that I have a full grade 3 

tear of my pcl and the doctor suggested surgery was needed. I am 

due to have surgery in the next two months but I am back to playing 

rugby with some mild pain and instability (needing a knee brace ) ,

should I continue playing or stop ? 
Please don't hesitate to post this on your blog or to contact me back 
Many thanks 
Angus
