Hello,Thanks for your query.After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from ACL tear. You are not willing for opration . Your injury is already three years old.Your age is 20years and you are overweight.Looking to all conditions only option left is quadriceps exercises regularly and analgesics (diclofenac ) for pain relief whenever you feel pain.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
