Hi Everyone,

I'm 23 years old, due to have an ACL reconstruction on my right knee on Monday, this injury happened whilst playing football back in Sep 2006. (Have already had an ACL reconstruction on my left knee, hence the reason for my username....)

Three weeks ago i my left leg slipped in my bathroom and naturally my right leg tried to stop the fall and i felt an instant pain. Since the ACL ruptured the knee has given way but within moments i was able to walk ok and there was no swelling. However since the slip 3 weeks ago my knee has been swollen and in agony - unable to straighten and bend in properly, have been on cruches and unable to walk).

Couple of questions.. would i be right in assuming its a Wikipedia reference-linkmeniscus injury as i know these come hand in hand with ACL injuries?

And will they be able to operate despite the knee being swollen?

Would appreciate any help.

Thanks
