Could Meniscal And ACL Injury Be The Reason For Pain?
Hi.I am a 27 yr old, with no significant medical history. I suffered a fall around 5 years ago and meniscal +ACL injury was suspected on physical exam ,though no MRI was done.I was advised physiotherapy which I wasn t ver compliant with. Since then, I ve had pain on and off, and am unable to run,jump etc. But of late, I ve been having pain even at rest. Could it be that the ?tear is progressing ,..should I go in for a scan? Is surgery advisable? What are the indications for surgery?

Hello,
As this is an old ACL injury and not may behave progressed, I will advise for the MRI. If the MRI confirms a complete tear than surgical management will be advised.
But if it's grade 2 injury still with physiotherapy management you can get help. But we need an MRI for sure without any doubt.
Post MRI if surgical management or conservative management is thought for you still need to undergo physiotherapy management for the better outcome score.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
