I tore my ACL on the 22nd, started doing PT on Friday. I've been working on Quad activation, hyperextension and flexion.

While doing heel slides when I'm close to the end of my current range (around ~100°), my knee starts to get pretty tight like it might lock up if I go further (There's no pain, just an uncomfortable feeling of tightness).

Does this tightness need to go away pre surgery through PT? Appreciate it if somebody who's gone through this shares their thoughts!

I haven't started the rehab yet but will be starting next week. Should I be putting any load on the affected leg or not? My other ligaments are intact, also no pain while walking if I use the brace
