I had acl surgery on my left knee a little over a year ago. It has healed very well although my right knee is hurting now. I am assuming that it is because I overused it.

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Yes indeed, overuse of your right lower limb when your left lower limb was weak can result in overuse injury of the joints of the leg in question, due to inflammation resulting from strain (weight, movement). In order to relieve the symptoms, you need to provide your right leg with some rest, and take non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs. Should the pain persist despite taking the indicated measures, you are advised to have your knee examined by your treating physician.
