Hello all,

I am a 29 year old male and in good shape, the drawback is that I have been through two surgeries prior to this MF (ACL reconstructive and Meniscal repaired). I have been doing a lot of reading on this topic and know that the recovering rate is fairly successful for the younger population and in good health. However, I can't help but have a few concerns and was hoping someone can help. One is that I will lose a lot of my range of motion in flexion. Two, what progress can I expect in a month? two month? three month? and so on.

I am currently on week 5 since the surgery, I've been using the CPM machine everyday, but not always 6-8 hrs a day. I have also been religiously icing everyday and taking Advil. My degree on the CPM machine is set at 95. I understand that different cases produced different results, but any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
