Hi
As I understand u have been diagnosed with ACL tear and has been taking conservative treatment from 1.5 months.
Kindly put the MRI report for consideration as the that could show us the degree of the tear and hence the exact treatment
Next Steps
See a orthopedics surgeon nearby or me thru PRACTO
Health Tips
Avoid extreme movements of the knee joint or any specific movements when u have the pain….
