Rehab for sprained ligament

[Will Morris]

Thanks for the advice, will get 2nd opinion on possible meniscal tear.

What I was meaning that discomfort is not a good indicator is that I expect the joint to hurt for a while regardless of what I do. That it hurts a bit is not a reason to avoid working the full ROM.

There is zero reason to get a second opinion regarding a possible meniscal tear. Meniscus tears, without mechanical locking symptoms, are best treated conservatively with full ROM resistance training.

Thank you! No mechanical locking.

So, deload my squat, minimise bounce out of the hole with the lighter weight, and run a normal LP back up? OR run it up a bit faster like coming back from a lay-off?

No reason to artificially reduce the weights if you can manage heavier weights.
