Hairline fracture & internal damages
I have recently got a fracture in my right knee and it's a hairline fracture along with meniscus damaged, inside Ligaments are damaged and swelling and saviour pain are also there.
It's been almost 30 days since I am wearing a knee brace and taking medication for support but swelling and pain is still there.
Kindly suggest to me that what should I do now.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you

The MRI shows ACL and meniscus tear- both of which might require surgery. But MRI findings need to be correlated with your symptoms followed by physical examination.
Next Steps
Get a consultation for physical examination to confirm the findings.
Till then, start doing knee range of motion exercises to ease your post surgery rehabilitation- refer to YouTube for visual reference.
Get a direct consultation if you have any further questions.
