Hi, my acl surgery happened 11 days ago with 25% meniscus removed. I am doing exercises knee bending, raising, patella tighten. Swelling is very low now only near to patella region. Question is is it safe now laying on non operated side using pillow while sleeping for whole night without brace? Or knee brace is important while sleeping?

Respected lybrate user..... Maybe your knee brace is important to wear while sleeping.....!!!? But it( knee brace) is not too tightly tied....! Soft , smooth and washed,neat,dried cloth is placed...under your knee brace. But it's just few months".... ! If no pain... Knee functions are normal.....then you lying on your bed normally....! If you want anything about this please consult orthopaedic doctor or Physio therapist.
