Ligament and meniscus partial tore, had an accident on 1st Aug 18. Initially ortho Dr. Advised just after examining by himself and told ligament tore and will recover by itself.
After a month, went to another ortho since I'm not recovered. Taken a MRI and also Dr. Examined and told to follow few physiotherapy and surgery was not required. Month after (2 mon from accident) visited & advised to take wax therapy and also I was told I need to go for orthoroscopy But I don't want. 4 months now and still seeing pain and feel sometime instability. Looking for different opinions.
From the report
# thickening and signal change seen involving the entire ACL, High grade partial tear may be considered.
# grade 2 signal change in the posterior horn of medical meniscus and lateral meniscus
# small vertical tear seen in the body of lateral meniscus
#signal change seen in proximal fiber and attachment of LCL

I have gone through the reports. I feel it’s ligamentous injury along with fibula fracture. You should consult someone who deals with sports injury. Consult an orthopaedic surgeon with experience and specialisation in sports medicine.
Primary to me it appears that u should not need surgery. Rest , short immobilisation and then aggressive rehabilitation should help u.
