Suggest Treatment For ACL Ligament Injury
Hi I am 26 Male diagnosed for ACL ligament injury in Left Knee. This was happened on April 2009 as a result I consulted an orthopedic surgeon he advised me to take rest with a solid plaster all over my leg. After the period of 45 days I was able to manage to walk and later on things were adjustable with me. Dec 2011 I got a knee slip and MRI scan was taken the report is furnished below: IMPRESSION: ACL IS THIN; ORIENTATIONIS NOT PARALLEL TO INTERCONDYLAR ROOF SUGGESTIVE OF INCOMPETENT ACL. TO BE CORRELATED CLINICALLY. DEGENERATION OF POSTERIOR HORN OF MEDIAL MENISCUS NO TEAR. But I even though the Doctor advised me to take up surgery I did not and done ayurveda treatment was quiet manageable these days but, today Sep 2012 I got the same knee slip and pain in the knees I am able to walk with knee support. I am seriously worried and confused please help me out with a solution.
