Question: Hi,
I had a ligament tear on my right knee two months. Now after resting i am able to use it without experiencing pain. Yesterday while catching a frisbee, as i landed on my left foot, i experienced a pain at the back of the knee. Today morning, the pain seems to have increased and i am not able to stretch the knee straight. Currently i have worn a knee cap and giving it rest. Please let me know if its again a ligament tear and should i stop playing for the rest of my life.
