Avoid sitting Cross legged. Avoid Squatting- Quadriceps Exercises- Lie straight, make a towel role and put it under the knee, press the keen against the role, hold it for 20 secs. Repeat 20 times twice a day. This will help relieve some pain. Core Strengthening Exercise- Straight Leg Raised With Toes Turned Outward, repeat 10 times, twice a day. Hams Stretching- lie straight, take the leg up, pull the feet towards yourself, with a elastic tube or normal belt. repeat 10 times, twice a day. Sports Taping- stretch the tape from both ends and apply on the affected area Contrast Fomentation (Hot and Cold).

Even if you have a damages ACL, it all depends how much it is causing you  a problem. If you can manage all your daily activities with no problem then there is no need to go for surgery. If you still have any minor problems, then physiotherapy to help strengthen the knee can be tried. Hope this helps. Dr Vinu Raj Consultant Oethopaedic & Spine Surgeon MBBS MRCS FRCS(Trauma&Orth)
