Second Opinion ACL Tear
I have just injured my knee and the MRI report says full ACL tear in my left knee. I have already consulted with the doctor who recommends a surgery. I have some instability in my knee with certain actions like climbing or walking down stairs, but I have no pain otherwise, very little swelling and my Lachlan test was not positive. Could a misdiagnosis be possible ? Should I get a second opinion

⢠Sports Taping- stretch the tape from both ends and apply on the affected area
⢠Contrast Fomentation (Hot and Cold).
⢠Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment in which knee is applied warm water followed by the immediate application of the knee with ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.
