Riding after injury.

Injury in may, I'll guess surgery 4-6 weeks later ( I tore my ACL in half and had to wait 6 weeks for surgery ) so you're only 6 months after surgery.

It's going to take a bit of work to get your knee back to where it feels "secure". It was closer to 9 months to when I felt good with my knee and probably 15-18 months to get full strength back.

Do the strength exercises along with the stretching. This is literally one of those times of "no pain, no gain" in getting your strength back.

I tore my left ACL in half at work. Six weeks of strength exercises at PT and then reconstructive surgery using the patella of that same knee for the new ACL.

Many months of PT three times a week for about 3 hours each time.
