Just curious if any degree of a flexion contracture is okay. I am 8 months post op from an ACL recon with my quad and the last month or so I have lost some degree of extension in my knee and it is also swollen. I kind of blew it off thinking I tweaked it and it would get better but it has not. I do have excellent quad strength. Problem is that the leg drags a bit because I can't bent it properly when I walk or go down stairs. It is likely to be scar tissue in the posterior capsule? I see my doc on Tuesday but am worried that he is going to say that it's not that bad. I have been stretching it daily and it just tightens up again a couple of hours later. So again, does anyone here have a loss of extension that cannot be fixed? I am stressing over this because I read that it can become permanent.

Thanks
