Partial ACL Tear and MCL Tear

[CallumT17]

Hi.
Im a 17 year old, and play football at semi pro level.
In april his year i sustained a partial acl tear, and i was diagnosed wrong straight away. I was told i had a medial ligament injury, or possibly a tear in my meniscus. They told me i could wait 8 months for an MRI scan, or have surgery next week. I chose surgery as i felt the wait for an MRI was far too long. In surgery, they found that i had torn 75% of my ACL. As soon as i had recovered, i was sent to physio, and started training at the gym, 2 or 3 times a week. After my initial couple of physio appointments, improving the core strength in my leg muscles, i was referred to a hospital to try and improve the dynamic strength in my muscles, which i was told would help me play football again. By this time, my knee had stopped "giving out", and i felt no pain. But after carrying out the hospital class for a couple of weeks, i started to get pain again. It has puzzled me as what i did in the dynamic strength class, is reasonably similar to what i was doing at the gym. Im unsure as to what to do now. I know that i need to improve the strength of my hamstrings, or at least this is what i have been told by a number of different physios since my operation. I have also had suggestions that i should get an ultrasound on my knee to see if anything has happened since surgery, or something about a TENS machine(i am unsure what this would do). I am desperate to get back to playing football, and i am willing to do whatever it takes to get back to the level i was playing at.Any replys, help, suggestions or information would be very much appreciated.
Thankyou.

Hello,

I need some advise on what should i do for my injured knee.

My MRI report says:

1. Cleavage tear in posterior horn of lateral meniscus.
2. Interstitial tear of ACL
3. Tear in MCL at femoral attachment with posterior subluxation of femur.

There is no pain in my knee, but i cannot walk. I am using the knee brace.

My doc has advised me to take rest for 10 days from now. Its already 15 days since i am on a bed rest.

Is surgery needed for this?? I am not a sports person. At times i will need to run for short distance unknowingly duing my daily activities.

Thanks for your help.
