I landed on my knee pretty hard last Thursday. It was incredibly swollen and I could not bend my knee for a couple days. Since then, my flexibility has nearly all come back. The area of the knee and around is still a bit swollen, and it’s very tight, especially if I try to bend my knee back all the way. The last couple days I’ve been able to spin and run/walk.
I have been icing 2-3x a day since injury and putting a wrap around it every other day. I have been doing leg press and single leg squats with no weight to help with working on the flexibility and restrengthening after the trauma. What other exercises or actions could I be taking to speed up the process? I have a race this weekend that I was hoping to line up for.
