<font size="2">I recently (7 days ago) had ACL reconstruction done with my autograft hamstring from the same knee. I am now experiencing what I suppose you may call a severe soreness/stretch located in my inner, mid-sural(calf) region which continues to my popliteal (back of knee) region. When my leg is in a lateral position I feel absolutely no pain whatsoever. However, when in a vertical position, I feel an INTENSE stretch in the area described above. Why is this? It may also be important for me to note that I was able to "walk" without crutches the day after surgery (without pain) in my locked brace.
What is causing this pain?</font><span>
