Ive been trying to get my leg straight by using that sitting on ground and pushing down on your knee method, but it is uncomfortable. It is also uncomfortable to bend it while laying down, is this all normal for where im at( 2 weeks in) my knee still has swelling i do try ice it a few times a day. When i try walk sometimes my leg if im not careful can kind of snap back to being straight and it does
Hurt/confortable. Should i just keep pushing on my knee as much as possible?
