Knee injury
I am suffering from isolated ligament (pcl) injury.
Doing regular exercises for quard from two years.
I can feel some laxity and knee buckling if exercises are skipped for a day or two.
Ligament is intact but loosely attached.
I am in constant pain each and everyday.
Nothing is effective.
Pain and stiffness is there when i start to walk. Muscles gets tighter after some time and pain becomes less.
As soon as i rest and start a walk again i feel stiffness .
Upper bone pressing on lower one and joint pain kind of felling is there all the time.
Will it ever heal??
Should i do a complete bed rest for a month !?
How to minimze the pain!?
I am not looking forward for surgery.
I can do all possible exercises for it.
Please suggest..thankyou

Pray to God. Expect miracles. Nothing else. A 2yr old pcl tear will never heal, u can realise it's getting worse. Come out of your inhibitions, consult a good sports surgeon, get counselled and go ahead for a pcl reconstruction.
If anyone suggests more excercises, ask them specifically an assurance if you will get OK!! U won't.
Don't look out for more opinions or miracles. In waiting for 2years, u may have already damaged your knee to some extent.
Next Steps
See a sports surgeon.
Health Tips
Go ahead with arthroscopic reconstruction of your PCL ligament. However get yourself clinically examined to check if it is only a PCL Injury or there is something more also.
