healing response, 7 Wochen nach die vkb riss

Just discovered that instead of doing the planed reconstruction, the surgeon did a healing response.
Am stressed because I read that it is only efficient if you do it within the first 6 weeks, am starting week 8 tomorrow...
Plus I was hoping to be able to bed my knee 90 pc by week one and discover it will be a much longer process annoying process...
I work full time (selbständig with regular trips around europe) and have young kids, if I could just get well without being worried to be operated again if it does not work because I was done too late..

Any experience with the subject, I would be very thankful to hear from you

Fyi the surgeon is very experienced

The surgical technique of Healing response is only effective if you do it within the first days of cruciate ligament injury. This surgical technique is mainly intended for fresh ACL rupture. A flexion by 90% after one week (after surgery) is almost impossible. It will take several weeks bevor you can fully encumber your knee again. Therefore, the physiotherapy is an important part of therapy.

When was the surgery performed? Have you ever had physiotherapy? Do you currently have discomfort on your operated knee?
