Question - Meniscus Tear (regaining full extension)
I recently tore the meniscus in my left knee and haven't been able to fully straighten it. I am seeing a doctor about it and he recommended to keep trying to strengthen and straighten it gradually. As I've been on crutches, I've been slowing trying to put a little weight on it but since I can't straighten my knee I end up standing on the ball of my foot. As a result my calf muscle has started to feel really tight and almost like it's constantly flexed. It's sore even to touch it. I've tried stretching it, massaging it and even just letting it rest, but it still continues to hurt. Any thoughts would be helpful.
