ACL tear, unable to walk, it's been long

2017-12-21 18:37:13
Had a fall from a bike, MRI report identified high grade ACL tear, it's been 75 days for the accident, I am going for physiotherapy for last 23 days leaving Sundays, yet my injured knee is painful, I can't walk straight I limp loosing balance & lost lots of muscle in thighs. I do the exercises told by physiotherapist. Yet it's been very long that the pain is there & I am not confident to walk on my own due to terrible weakness and instability. Please let me know how long will I take to recover.
