How Can I Strengthen My Muscles And Get Rid Of Knee Pain Post An Arthroscopic Surgery ?

Hello Sir, I m 28 years old guy,3 months ago, I was undergone from left knee arthroscopic surgery and my doctor diagnosed ACL Tear (ACL Functionally incompetent), Leg up & down excercises have been suggested,excercises are being done & from excercise i m relatively feeling better but sometime I feel that my knee is giving away, which also cause pain in my knee. I have visited 3 times to Doctor each in a month and he suggested to continue excercise as my leg muscles are weak, I m trying my best to strenghten my legs muscles but muscles are not developing as it should be uptil now, what should I do to strengthen my muscles as early as possible? Is there any special food for this?

Hi,Smatipu,
Thanks for query,
You do patellar exercise to strengthen the knee muscles.
Sit with straight legs,put a pillow under your knee.
Raise your leg in such a way that there is movement of patella only.
keep this position for a while then bring it down.
Repeat this again.
Do this exercise 10 mnt in the morning and evening.
ok and bye.
