OK I am not a doctor.. Here is what worked for me!!!!!
1. Ride a bicycle for about one hour, slowly, every day.
2. Make up a strap, make it so it will have a loop for your foot and ankle, lay down on the bed, pull that leg back to get a total angle of 120 total degrees. This is not a joke. If your leg is straight out, then it will bend 90 degrees, then you need another 30 degrees more of bend to get 120. Your can make a cardboard template cut to 30 or to 120 degrees. If this does not make sense, let me know, I can send you a picture of the strap I made up.
This is not a joking matter, the bending to 120 is very important, ask any KNOWLEDGEABLE therapist. You need to get the total bend in that knee and this will be a real benefit long term. One Ortho Doctor saw my strap and he really praised it.
