Need urgent help
I had injured my right knee on 11th Nov, 2018 during my taekwondo practice. It was a twisting injury.
Also I had an MRI few days ago, which confirmed the following things :
1) Complete tear of anterior cruciate ligament
2)Tear of posterior horn of medial meniscus(grade 2)
3) Partial tear of lateral collateral ligament
4) Knee joint effusion with suprapatellar bursitis.
5) Bony contusion and marrow oedema in proximal portion of tibia predominantly lateral condyle.
Right now I have some mild pain, along with instability and clicking sounds.
The doctor said that I need surgery. I want a sccond opinion, do I need surgery?
Please help ASAP.
