Persistent Leg Pain, Difficulty In Walking And Straightening Leg. MRI Showed Partial Tear. Suggestion?
Hello Dr. Samuel, This is Digpal Singh Gour, 34 years old from India. I got injured while playing football 45 days before. My MRI reports says: Illdefined femoral attachment of Anterior Cruciate Ligament - partial tear. I went for physiotherapy first 10 days as my physician suggested than stopped.... Still I use to get pain in my leg and I m not able to walk properly and cant straighten (90 degree) and band my leg completely. Kindly suggest me what to do?

Hi thanks for the query.
After the injury you might had some form of ligament injury. This could have shown up in the MRI. I would also suspect some of meniscal injury inside the knee after the injury. since you are not able to bend and straighten the it could be due to localized collection of blood in knee joint or locking due to injury to the meniscus. I advice you to contact orthopaedician who might recheck and advice you appropriatly
