ACL SURGERY
I got operated for ACL on 19-03. Even after six weeks of operation, my doctor is not allowing partial weight bearing. Partial weight bearing will start from Monday i.e. 42nd day. I'm still on knee brace and supposed to keep it for 1.5 month more. It's kind of frustrating now. Physiotherapy is also limited to simple knee bending and muscle strengthening and SLR.
Please suggest me what to do.

Post ACL reconstruction, I don't think there is a need for non weight bearing especially if no meniscus repair has been done.
You should walk now will full weight bearing over operated limb.
Generally patients walk the very next day of surgery post ACL reconstruction.
