This was 3 weeks after my surgery, 1 week after the clips were removed. It's healed as a very neat scar, I personally am not embarrassed or shy about it, I prefer to take the perspective that it looks quite cool and is my war wound! At this present time I did not have much range of motion in my leg, I was walking fine but could barely bend it except to sit. There was also a LOT of scar tissue and swelling still at this point and massage does help with this as well as ibuprofen for the swelling and keeping it elevated when possible.
