An ACL sprain with a Grade II signal in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus usually heals with proper care and activity modification. Since your job involves prolonged standing and stair climbing, try to limit excessive stair use, sudden twisting, running, or squatting for now. use a knee brace if advised, take regular breaks, and avoid putting sudden load on the knee. Focus on guided knee-strengthening exercises to improve stability and support healing.
