Suggest Treatment For Edema On The Knees After An Accident
Dear sir,
i have an accident on 15 may 2014, and i got knee injury, after MRI scan report said;
Impression:
Grade II, severe sprain/partial tear of MCL with associated edema of meniscocapsular junction.
Subtle hyperintense signals noted in ACL, suggestive of edema.
Mild joint effusion and adjacent soft tissue swelling.
Needs clinical correlation and follow up.
Sir this is my report, i saw my knee 2 doctors and both have different opinion, 1st suggest surgery & 2nd refer to wear knee brace and take rest, so my knee rehab in 3 to 6 month itself.
I wearing knee brace last 27 days and feel reduce pain and swelling in my knee, but still pain inside my knee joint and little swelling & stiffeness.
So i am here for advise from you, what should i do more?
I gone to for surgery? Or wear knee brace and rest?
Please advise to me, what choice is better for my knee?Continue with knee brace with rest & heating pad therapy?
Or gone to surgery?
If wear knee brace, so when i gone for physio therapy? And before gone to therapy 1 more MRI scan needed or not?

If pain is severe associated with swelling and not responding to conservative treatment better to plan for ligament repair or reconstructive surgery
