First and foremost you should get MRI done to confirm your diagnosis of ligament tear..and if ur doctor has seen clinically and has applied plaster and if it’s soft from bottom please consult ur doctor once again
Next Steps
1. Revisit your doctor again to show the plaster 2. Get an MRI done to confirm ligament injury if the treating consultant advice for so
