Hi Dr.
Few months ago while walking on pavement I injured my left knee and was in excruciating pain. I was not able to stand and walk but somehow managed to reach the nearest hospital. The Orthopedic diagnosed it as Medial Collateral Ligament Strain in left knee. He prescribed some pain killers and TendoShot Capsules. The pain subsided after a week of medication. After that, on the advice of the Orthopedic, I went to see a Physiotherapist for therapy sessions.
But even after more than a month of therapy sessions, I am yet to get fully recovered. Even though there is no apparent issue in walking but I still don't have enough strength in my knee to climb stairs.
I need your advice as to what needs to be done here.

Hello there,
Well do you have an MRI of the knee jt which your dr took 2 months back.
Bcos the outcome of any strain or injury to the ligaments of knee depends upon the grade of strain.
Some grade 2 and grade 1 strain can be managed conservatively.
Also 3 months is the proper time for any ligamentous rehab...you should had been back to your pre injury state by end of 12 weeks...after proper Ligament rehab protocol.
If you still have instability then some issues may be there...hope you wore knee brace all this while.
Resort back with furthur queries...coz this problem should not be ignored.
Regards.
