You just described my pain to the tee.Hurt knee 8 years ago had surgery Dr said I had torn cartilage and that I would probably have to have knee replacement but I refused .About 3 weeks ago of writing this the pain swelling and popping of knee started to lessen with each day .I researched the area of pain and symptoms that I’ve been having.Your website popped up and let me say : You nailed it!Your description of an injured mcl is spot on to what I’ve been experiencing since 2015.Now I know I just wish I would have researched this before .
I think this is one of the best videos I've watched on acl tears!. I had a traumatic injury nearly a year ago in 2022 still haven't received an MRI yet but recently got a knee brace! I'm praying for a good recovery and a test to see how severe my knee pain is🙏🏽 Thank you so much for these vids Doc❤️
I’m going onto two weeks with my knee injury. Just found out I have a fracture on my tibial, right beneath the knee cap, both lateral and medial meniscus have a tear, and a complete acl tear along with a small piece of bone cartilage that got broken off which is full thickness chondral loss? Idk but they’re going to grow my cells in a lab then surgical implant them. I’m scared
@@bait-ul-hassan2290 I'm so sorry I only saw this comment now😭!! But the process has been slow. I got my MRI and was told I had a ruptured ligament. My knee still feels stiff but I can more so walk at a proper pace and only jog lightly! I have not been able to return to sports yet ;(
@@moneyaint Oh my! I can't imagine how painful that injury was!;( but glad you're getting treatment quickly! Have you been referred to any physio? Or do you have to wait until the surgical transplant? I'm wishing you a full and safe recovery!!❤
@@moneyaint If this surgery can help you improve movement in your knee or a full recovery then it's so worth it! I've never had a surgery so I know it can be scary to think about! but I think overall the transplants will help with your injury! Just make sure to rest , elevate and ice the knee and do additional treatments if doctors advised any before your surgery!
Im a full time licensed plumber and about 3 years ago i took out my ACL and meniscus this devistated my career but i never gotten the surgery, i still want the surgery but i cant afford it, so im gonna comment what alot of people want to know that the doctors wont tell you, yes after a few months of rehab you will be able to function, but you need to excercise daily or it will buckle on you when you least expect it, its honestly just basic safety stuff that you need to watch out for, ASK for help if you need it, and dont try to be a one man army it wont benefit you at all, but you should be more than capable to do your trades job after 3 months just take your time with it and use your head more than your muscles
I had a ruptured ACL , also a fractured tibial plateau. The tibia healed without surgery, but I didn’t know about the ACL. My leg buckled and down I went on my wrist. Broken and displaced. Wrist Needed surgery. I wore a custom knee brace and did PT while awaiting ACL surgery for six months. Hoping to put this entire injury behind me.
@@winchestertonfieldville8973 its a long road, after dealing with this for years ive come to learn that it does not buckle randomly anymore, but gotta stay moving, if i take a nice vacation and not use my body my good knee will suffer from patellar tendonitis the day after i get my tools back on
You make me understand what has gone wrong with my knee, and the importance of stabilizing it and keeping muscles strong. Thank you for doing these! I am definitely considering your PT classes…after my MRI.
Near complete ACL tear, Grade I tear of posterior horn of the medial meniscus not reaching up-to the articular surface. Grade I tear of the Medial collateral ligament Grade I injury of the muscies posterior to the knee. Moderate effusion in the knee joint. Soft tissue edema around the knee.
This is such relatable content. I experienced a pop in my knee 10 months ago. Was diagnosed in urgent care with a Baker’s cyst. In follow up with an orthopedic specialist, I received a cortisone shot, which I ended up in ER a week later due to excruciating throbbing pain. X-rays showed nothing remarkable. 10 months later, I still experience pain, swelling and can’t bear full weight on the knee. I believe it’s some form of tear and want to heal naturally with exercises at home. I’m frustrated with going to the doctor and being misdiagnosed.
Hi Natalie, We’re so sorry you have been struggling with your knee pain and the frustrating experience of being misdiagnosed. We know the frustration and pain you have been under and we hope you can find some relief soon. It may be possible that you have a tear but we wouldn’t be able to say for certain without a proper evaluation. A Baker's cyst can form when there's excess fluid in the knee joint, often due to an underlying issue like a tear or inflammation. While it’s possible there could be a tear, we can’t say for certain without a proper evaluation. We have would highly recommend a Virtual Consultation.

I fell out of a trampoline at defy 10 feet up in the air . I looked down and the trampoline was gone and I stopped my fall with my right leg. My leg completely came out of my knee. I was lucky when I wiggled my leg for it to go Back in place. I was in horrible pain. My 2 year-old asked me if I was OK. Never have I heard her ask me that. My heart was broken. My first thought was how am I going to feed her, how am I going to go grocery shopping ,cook , wipe her butt etc.. my life is over. . Anyways, so finally, the pain was much better so I figured I’d get up and walk. Unfortunately my leg completely gave out and I fell to the ground. Instantly I knew my life has completely changed forever. I’m waiting to see my Orthopedic in a few days. In the meantime, I want to see my options. I really enjoyed this video , I very much appreciate you taking the time to make this . According to the ER, they think that my ACL and my PCL is gone. I don’t have any pain with my leg gives out but I feel the bones hitting each other and that feels crazy and I just feel like someone kicked me in the knee but the pain goes away. My foot also turns blue when I am on my crutches, so I remain with my leg up on my wheelchair. Would there be a chance for me to give this a try you think? I cannot put my foot down on the floor or else my leg will give out and he goes sideways not front ways..
Crazy brother cause same thing happend to me but playing football! My knee goes sideways Craziest thing that ever happened to me. It’s been about 5 years + since it happened and I still have problems with it 😢. At times it gives out but forsher strengthening the muscles around the knee helps !
I sold my braces last year since I found them useless. but now I see how useful they actually can be and will definitely buy one to test your suggestions. I can't over appreciate your informative content. TY 🤝
Hello Dr. I sustained an injury from jumping off the top of a car during an accident three years ago. Initially, I visited a hospital where they diagnosed me with a torn ACL and recomended surgery which i didnt take. Despite this, I could bend my knee fully backward without pain, but I couldn't fully stretch it as before. Later, i visited another hospital for a second opion and noted that my walking pattern was almost normal despite the injury, which led them to believe that my ACL was not torn based on the mri result of the previous hospital. They advised me to undergo physiotherapy exercises. This incident happened about three years ago. Since then, I’ve done some light exercises and have been able to run and perform push exercises, but I still can't fully stretch my leg. Last week, I collided with another player while playing football, and it was quite painful. After undergoing an MRI, the hospital confirmed my ACL is torn and suggested surgery. Currently, I can walk without limping as a week has passed since the incident. I'm concerned about making the wrong decision regarding surgery. I am not a professional football player; I play for fun. I am currently in a foreign country with better medical facilities. Today, I came across your video, and I am considering not having surgery based on your advice. Could you please provide your guidance on this matter? Thank you
Hi Doc, Thanks for the video it's really helpful in understanding the problem clearly I had a knee injury 6 months back and decided to take MRI now as there is a constant pain, and here is my results. *Minimal knee joint effusion.* *Grade I tear - Posterior horn of medial meniscus and lateral meniscus.* *Posterior horn of medial meniscus and lateral meniscus.* *Anterior cruciate ligament-Partial Tear.* *Posterior cruciate ligament - Strain.* I shown these results to an Ortho Doctor and he suggested for Arthroscopy as next step.. How severe is my injury? and also trying to get a knee brace for myself after seeing this video. Once again thanks for the Information and support 🙂
I have a torn partial ACL graft since 2020. I am still able to play with it but not in a really competitive setting. Hardwork and leg exercises will only help you until it does not. An unstable knee is really hard to risk playing on
I tore my ACL at the age 21, didn't do anything about it, the knee kept haunting me back every few years. 20 years later I injured my other knee as it was trying to compensate for the deficiency in the first one. Doc suggested ACL reconstruction, I knew the pain but the family didn't support the doc's recommendation and advised me to continue with rehab exercises and strengthen the bad knee. 3 years later I've severe pain in both my knees so much that I can't weight bear. I'm going for my XRay and scans, doc thinks that it might be arthritis which was already settling in 3years ago. Once again I'm looking at reconstruction to avoid a total knee reconstruction prematurely at 45. Don't be a hero, listen to the experts, take more than 1 opinion if needed, assuming that you will need those knees in your 60s & 70s and hopefully beyond as well. TKR is an option only once in your late 60s or beyond as it has an expiry date of 15-20 years, to be done only once
One more thing to note here, I agree with the point made in this video, if you can avoid the surgery, yes avoid it but then also follow the rest of the advise - wearing braces, regular strengthening exercises, etc. I've been on and off with both the things, I'm going to try once more to avoid the surgery but with more discipline this time.
I am impressed and motivated from this video sir 🙏 thank you. In my MRI report, I got complete ACL tear, I am worried about surgery. Kindly advise me to heal without surgery.
Hey @shylajakeshav2955, sorry to hear about your ACL tear :-( We've got many videos right here about how to help your ACL in order to avoid surgery: “Knee Pain ACL Injury Help” ru-vid.com/group/PLJVIPiFvv1mY5egV7qX8PHh-kEeL6y1wP
I agree with this 100 percent. I heard a pop in my knee Sunday. Went to doctor they said it's acl. I have been wearing my brace regiously and I am improving rabidly
There’s still a possibility your acl is torn even if your leg is improving (something else could’ve caused that pop though) because my acl was fully torn for 10 months and I didn’t notice because after the incident that tore it (I didn’t know it was torn at the time) my leg improved back to the point where I could run full speed, so I’d get an mri if I were you im saying this so incase it’s torn you can catch it early
Dear Doc lots of love from India , according to the MRI done on my right knee after having a motorbike accident,I have full thickness tear of my ACL whereas I don't feel so ,and since the very first day I'm using the kind of brace you suggest,I feel better day by day and I'm in no mood to have an operation, please suggest some excercise and supplements to get full power back in my knee thank you ,may Allah swt endow you with a healthy and prosperous life
Giving this a go! Tore mine over 12 years ago and recently went back to competitive sport. I do weights, running etc so it’s strong and I have level 2. I never knew it popped so much until I watched this and was conscious of it 😂. Ordered and have brace in now before soccer later (and will wear it during the soccer too 💪). ON size, I’ve returned the large couldn’t get the straps tight enough, I used to e measurement online so medium was perfect, obviously if you’re bigger but I’m pretty slim. Thanks for the video!!!!! I’ll report back in a few months 🎉

I wish I had seen this video earlier, I was asked to take my brace (same type) off 3 weeks after my injury when I started physical therapy. They said it was better to use a crutch than a brace so I started using a crutch. At the time no one knew I had a complete ACL tear because the emergency department at the hospital in Dublin, Ireland didn't bother to do an MRI. It's been almost 4 months since my injury and I still can't walk up stairs or do any squats but I can walk normally without a limp.
Great video....Dr. Dave...You should incorporate the Diapulse machine and cold laser into your therapy also collagen, vit c, d, zinc and fish oil so the patient can heal faster and better...
My husband was clipped on December 25 by a wild snowboarder while skiing. He could barely walk for months with the swelling but now there is less clicking/popping and now just more achy from time to time. Walking for extended periods was hard. I’ve given him glut strengthening exercises and gentle shallow squats. He had a McDavid hinged knee brace in the early months but stopped wearing after a few months as he started feeling much better. He is much better but his MRI at the end of May was read as a completely torn ACL and both meniscal torn and MCL partial tear. But I was the only one as a chiro who did the basic orthopedic tests and the anterior drawer test was NOT positive. However, medial gapping test was hugely unstable. So I was stunned when the results in MRI complete ACL tear were read. Up to 40% are read wrong? I think it is MCL because the goalie squat was painful for him but is not anymore. So are you saying he should wear this other brace you recommend? Or just continue with the McDavid brace? All the time? He is much better as the knee only aches from time to time. I’ve been advising him to fix the muscle imbalance and strengthen the gluts. Standing in sand on the beach makes him feel unstable. They recommended orthopedic consult for ACL reconstruction and a custom ACL brace but so far two Orthopedics have turned him down. Should we just get this brace to recommend at this point? How long should he wear it for? I talked to him about doing your online knee rehab plan since it would clearly give him a guided program to help him fix his muscle imbalance. He has a history of loving biking and leg press and always had strong quads. That’s why he likely injured a meniscus many years ago. Sadly this was a freak injury on the ski hill.
Good video, gives me hope to heal my ACL. I did a complete ACL tear playing soccer 7 weeks ago when I hyperextended my knee. I found after 3 weeks it felt pretty good, so I played again and did a minor hyperextension. Took a week off and bought a brace like you have there and played 4 games since. Knee feels stable in brace. Did an online session with Jun Matsumoto today, he has had 100% success with healing ACL tears (16/16) with his exercises. The focus is bringing your heal to your hip to shorten the length of the ACL so it can reattach. He wants me to quit soccer for 6 months, tough ask. I will do the exercises and see how I go. I don't see the benefit of the knee brace when not playing sport as my knee is very stable.
Hi Andy, just wondering how your knee is coming along? I am 4.5 months currently and considering not getting surgery after finally getting an MRI. Wish you a speedy recovery!
@@joelbergfx Hi Joel. Well, I play regularly now (about 3 times a week), but still wear the brace. Knee feels very stable but can feel slight pain if I do hard strikes. Hardly affects my play anymore. Maybe it's healing. Was planning on doing another scan in about a month to see if my ACL has reattached.
@@sssssd2708 I have been playing soccer regularly wearing the knee brace without issues, but still doing the exercises. I can tell my knee is not perfect as sometimes I feel it if I kick the ball hard. Will wait a bit longer before getting another MRI.
Hi Mamaandmisisadventures, Thank you so much for the kind words. We hope the knee brace offers you some relief. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
Really appreciate this video while I investigate what happened to my knee recently and how to proceed. Been told I've torn my ACL, but have also been told I dislocated my kneecap?! MRI next week for more clues. I think i have a shot at avoiding surgery based on 4 days of minor improvement. Got my brace for now!
Thank you doctor you just gave me a hope to survive without a surgery . On my MRI report its shoes ACL complete tear grade 3, But i able to walk without any issues even i dont have swelling. I consulted a doctor he suggested me to go for a surgery but i dont want to lose my natural body given by god. I am searching for this for a while. Now i am happy with your words going to start my day with knee braces😊
Hey doc, i got my MRI reports and my doctor suggested a surgery but I don't really want to go for it. I'm 18 and it's been a month since my injury and i can walk better now with a knee cap. Medial femorotibial compartment: No medial femorotibial bone marrow edema. Medial collateral ligament, medial meniscus and articular cartilage are intact. Lateral femorotibial compartment: Articular cartilage, lateral collateral ligament, iliotibial band, lateral meniscus, biceps femoris and popliteus are intact. Patellofemoral compartment: Normal patellar position with Caton Deschamps ratio of 1.1. Moderate anterolateral femoral and inferomedial patellar impaction marrow edema. High grade patellar attachment and low-grade femoral attachment medial patellofemoral ligament injury. No loose body. Trochlear morphology: DeJour type A trochlear morphology. TT:TG distance of 1.1 cm on MRI. Extensor mechanism is intact. Patellofemoral articular cartilage and lateral patellofemoral ligament are intact. No VMO muscle volume loss or fatty infiltration Cruciate ligaments: Anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are intact. Minimal joint effusion. No Baker’s cyst. Neurovascular structures are unremarkable. Impression: 1) Sequel to recent patellar instability- Moderate anterolateral femoral and inferomedial patellar impaction marrow edema. High grade patellar attachment and low-grade femoral attachment medial patellofemoral ligament injury. Status of predisposing factors - Normal patellar position. DeJour type A trochlear morphology. TT:TG distance of 1.1 cm on MRI. 2) Intact cruciates, collaterals and cartilage. This was my report, do you think i can heal without a surgery and maybe get back to normal and continue my dance classes?
I went to two different doctors at two different hospitals, one said i must do surgery another Said the same thing you said, mri is not accurate he gave medication and exercise it's been 2 months but i can walk and run properly with a bit of pain.
How, exactly, does an acl tear heal over time without surgery? Do the torn parts grow back together somehow? Does new new ligament grow? And exactly how does exercise help with that process? Did it tear because muscles were weak? Does strengthening muscles hold the knee in place so the ligament can grow back? Is there scar tissue? Does that make the healed ligament weak and vulnerable to a tear in the future? Sorry for so many questions. All I see is videos on how tears happen and how to do rehab.
I had worked all day on my farm planting trees on steep ground in the late afternoon I turned, fell over backwards to what sounded like a gun shot. My left leg was buckled inside towards my right leg and patella stuck on the outside of the joint. I picked up my lower leg lining it up with the thigh bone and thumped the outside of the patella to get it back in place. My thigh instantly ballooned out and I couldn't bend my leg. 20 minutes late I went into shock, I was by myself on our isolated property. With intense pain I stood up collected my chainsaw loaded the 4wd and took 5 minutes to get into the vehicle. When I went to the doctor he didn't believe I could have done it. The orthopaedic almost ripped my knee joint apart and decided I may have dislocated my knee. Intensive physio had me walking after a couple of months. After 4 months the orthopaedic operated, cut my quads off the patella taking out scar tissue and pieces of meniscus. He then said it was my fault the quad was wasted/detached. 3 more months of intensive physio and had to see another surgeon. Splinters of bone were growing into the joint under the patella which was shaved, bone chios and more broken meniscus was taken out. Not one dr told me anything about the injury which I am sure was acl damage as well as torn quadriceps.

Just tore my acl skiing Dec 2022 your videos are very helpful. My knee totally gave out. Working on my glutes now still wearing a brace and going through physio
Hey Heidi, so sorry to hear about your ACL injury from skiing. We're glad you're finding our videos helpful! Just in case you need them, here are all our ACL related videos: “Knee Pain ACL Injury Help” ru-vid.com/group/PLJVIPiFvv1mY5egV7qX8PHh-kEeL6y1wP
Hey there Heidi! I hope you are doing well now. May you share your experience with us if you don’t mind? My friend got an ACL injury while skiing a couple of weeks back, and we are not sure how to go around it. Your input would be invaluable to us! Thank you :)
Hi doc, last april i got injury playing basketball, and i tried to heal it at home. And then i think its notnhealing well, so i tried to go to the nearest orthopedics then the ortho said that i should have xray and mri, but then i cant afford to pay for an mri, waited and looking for a public hospital that can do my mri. Story short, i got my mri this july and the result shows the following: 1. High-grade anterior cruciate ligament tear. 2. Complex horizontal and radial tear involving the inferior margin of the posterior horn and root of the medial meniscus. 3. Mild joint effusion with synovitis. 4. Mild marrow edema in the tibial plateau. With this the ortho told me to just apply for a rehabilitation for the strengthening and after that, i told my therapist that i want to play again and he said that i should have my acl to be operated to have my life back. So as i watch your video, and read a comment i want to ask for a opinion to what should i do for my knee. Should i operate or opted for the natural healing method?

I was not referred to getting a knee brace after I went to the hospital for the doctors to check for more than 4 times, and I really appreciate your videos Dr. it’s now been 6 months that I have had an acl grade 2 but I feel it is healing better than ever, and it’s honestly sad that the head orthopaedic doctor from Fiona Stanley hospital today told me I have grade 3 injury and said that I needed surgery without looking at my previous mri scan. Any suggestions…
Very informative video, i had a complete tear ACL, since 14 days wearing braces and able to walk with walker only though much improvement as compared to first three days of injury, will wait for some more time, though doctor is suggesting for surgery
I got my knee injury while playing football 3 years ago my left knee bent inwards I kept resting for months each time longer and every time I tried to play my knee would always give way then swell up when I made sharp turns while playing or even doing some physical activities there's been some improvements I walk fine without pain or any swelling but just know my knee is not its normal self I feel the looseness on the inner knee I recently got a MRI done and the results were I have partial acl tear so hopefully this information could help
Appreciate this informative vid, thanks for your time and sharing your expertise 👍🏽 I have a recent full ACL tear possible meniscus damage as well. This sounds great at least worth a try and the orthopedists I spoke with did advocate at least for a middle ager a wait and see approach as you mentioned, at least 2 months (which thanks to your vid is likely not enough time to know if it will heal on its own) then consider surgical reconstruction with hamstring tendon. However my concern, there was a study done by HSS in NY, that showed those who did not get ACL reconstructive surgery were much more likely to suffer from osteoarthritis 7 years after injury than those that got the surgery. Is this something you have seen at your practice or are aware of?
Hey cardo, sorry to hear that you've got an ACL tear :-( Yes, we've heard about that study. There are more like it. We have to question what kind of health and strength the people from the study had. We don't know what they did for all those years leading up to getting knee arthritis. The assumption we work under is that they kept doing exercise or activity that fed into a muscle imbalance. Muscle imbalances around the knee (over-dominant quads and under-dominant glutes) is what sets up many chronic knee problems, including knee arthritis. That coupled with the loss of stability from the torn ACL can definitely expedite knee arthritis. But what if you correct your muscle imbalance and maintain it? That has not been studied. In fact muscle imbalances have not been studied. We see people here in the clinic do very well after an ACL tear. It's up to them to keep up their strength for the long term.
I tore my acl and decided to not get the surgery and almost 4 months into it my knee starts to feel better it’s more flexible and I was playing basketball I stopped with the leg I tore my acl on and it popped out of place and the pain won’t go away and now I finally decided to get the surgery so it doesn’t pop out of place again.
Thanks for this video! I am in category 3 and torn my front ligament completely, along with both meniscus getting injured and a bone bruise condition in my thigh bone. I started early rehabilitation training in form of weight lifting etc. with great success and I can run and lift fairly in comparison of before my injury, even playing some soccer 4 times after the injury. My biggest issue is that my knee has been sliding out of position about 12 times in 3 months. But it does not happen while I am doing something that requires more force like training and so forth, but when taking a quick step in the opposite direction boom there we have it. So I find it difficult to make a decision about wether surgery or no surgery is right. My concern with no surgery is that my knee might get new injury or get worn out by continues slides of the bones. But I have not been wearing any form of knee support as of so far. I will try that and give my knee more time to recover before I make a decision. Thank you for making me realize this just now. 🎉
Ive had acl reconstruction on both knees, most recently 2 months ago with a partial meniscectomy. Its not easy and the recovery takes time and dedication. Based on your comment if you're knee is buckling regularly you are risking further damage to the other ligaments and meniscus. Living with a torn acl requires a lifestyle change for most people, soccer and other pivoting activities are risking more serious damage. Further damage can cause osteoarthritis down the road and result in a knee replacement. I opted to have surgery both times because I do not plan on living my life in a straight line. Take some time for your decision but please be careful in the meantime.
@@jetsgo66 Hey, thank you for taking time to advice me. I was told by docs to try without surgery at first but they seem to have changed their minds too, so I will take the surgery offered to be safe. As you also say, I won’t be happy to live a straight line and always be careful 😅
I have a grade 3, but my doctor said since I was already rehabbing it, and I don't need surgery unless I want to play competitive soccer, or tennis etc. I am considering mma, which I know i might need surgery. It has been 6 years since I tore my ACL, I can do pretty much everything I did before, I just need to do prehab and preventative measures to continue my lifestyle.
Hey Beth, glad to hear your doctor is on board with not proceeding with surgery! However, it's very important that no matter what you do, you address your muscle imbalances. We know you are willing to put in the work, so we recommend taking a look at this playlist and start working on strengthening your body the smart way: “Knee Pain ACL Injury Help” ru-vid.com/group/PLJVIPiFvv1mY5egV7qX8PHh-kEeL6y1wP
Hi sit, i recently hurt my knee like 10 days ago and the mri shows the following results. Could you please tell me if i need surgery or I am able to heal by myself . My doctor says surgery is needed and I am really scared. Please suggest what do i need to don:( IMPRESSION: 1. High-grade mid substance ACL tear. 2. Grade 1 sprain of the fibulocollateral ligament. 3. Posterior, medial meniscocapsular sprain. 4. Tibial plateau bone marrow contusions. 5. Small joint effusion.
I broke my left ankle a week before Memorial Day 2021. A week later, I tore my right knee's medial meniscus due to falling while on crutches. Fast forward several months of rehabbing the knee on my own at home and having the full range of motion, but not wearing a brace all the time. It was doing ok, but it felt pretty tight and swollen most of the time. Thanksgiving came around, I stepped off a footstool reaching for a dish on a high shelf. Came down on the right leg and felt searing pain. I could barely hobble to a chair. My knee was very unstable. I finally got in to work with a PT in March of this year and worked on the rehab exercises, purchased the ShockDoctor brace you link to - it is part of my daily clothing now. I don't go out without a decent brace now. I also got their highest-end brace because my goal is to go backpacking again with moderate miles and a fully loaded pack. Great info. Thankyou for the video!
Hey Miki, sorry to hear about your ankle, meniscus, and likely ACL injuries :-( But we're glad to hear that you've been addressing everything and even going to PT! As you improve in your knee, make sure to get stronger overall. You'll need plenty of strength (especially in your glutes!) to go backpacking again without your knee or ankle slowing you down. We hope you get back to normal as fast as possible Miki!!!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy thanks :) im continuing now with a gym routine. I didn't get an MRI, but my ortho did the thing with my leg to see if my shin shifted , and it did a little bit. Hurt like a bugger. The diagnosis was compromised ACL injury.
Thanks for the informative video. I injured my knee we are ruling out torn ACL after X-ray and exam. I have no clicking/popping and I can do the test. I can feel the difference in injured knee but it’s minimal.
Hello doctor saw ur video Last week I met with accident and after mri report it showz I have 80 percent ACL tear .. doctor is saying we need operation.. but I do not wanna under go operation can it heal naturally if I take complete bed rest for month and do not give much load on knee.. I am 108 kgs in weight.. please suggest me what to do
8 months ago I dislocated my patella playing soccer . It was the worse pain ever that I almost fainted . Did an mri 1 month later and results came in that I completely ruptured( Torn) acl and partial meniscus tear . Then 2 months ago I started playing soccer with a knee brace but started getting hip pain so I started doing some type therapy on my hip and obviously knee strengthening on my bad knee and been feeling ok but it doesn’t feel the same playing soccer . I can bend it do squats almost anything and it never hurt or swells so I am confused if I really have acl tear or some other thing going on because people keep saying it’s no way you can play kick the ball hard and have no pain or swell if an acl is torn . But my knee does feel different compare to my good knee you can tell the difference . Anyways on Friday may the 27th 2022 my orthopedic called me that after almost 6 months of waiting for surgery they finally have an availability to do the acl surgery on June 16 th 2022 . And after 8months i feel like getting surgery is the best option just because I’ve done so much workout strengthening on my knee and felt that is still doesn’t feel the same way as normal . I might be wrong but I am looking forward for the challenge on getting my knee back strong so I can play soccer again in a high level
Hey Andy, this sounds like a fantastic situation to be in - getting back to being active again after suffering a patellar dislocation, torn meniscus and torn ACL. It is probably NEVER going to feel like your other knee again...even if you have surgery. So using the "feeling" in the knee compared to your healthy knee as a measure of how your hurt knee is doing might be flawed. Measure it against itself and compare its improvement week to week. And whether or not to get surgery is up to you and what you think you need. Many people get really strong in the right ways and don't get surgery. Many people (like professional athletes) get surgery on a meniscus and ACL. It really is a personal decision based on what you think you need after you've done enough research for yourself. The only question that comes to mind to ask you at this point, is what is the harm in waiting? If you're feeling well overall, playing sports again, getting better...then maybe you've got more improvements left to make before deciding on surgery. You can always delay surgery in case you do get worse and it becomes your only option to help your ACL and meniscus.

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy thanks for your quick reply sir ! My only concern is that my orthopedic and doctor said that after a while when not doing surgery on your torn acl you get osteoarthritis and can eventually damage other ligaments tendons etc on the knee . I also have faith that after surgery And working hard and do all my knee therapy , I’m hoping I can get my knee as strong as it was before the injury. 🙏. Anyways thanks for the link I will also be doing these type of exercises in the future
Hey Kenken! Thank you so much for your kind words. We are glad that we have been able to provide you with some relief! 🙌🏽 Here is a type of knee brace that we would recommend: amzn.to/3SK2ST5 Below is our entire ACL playlist for you: “ACL Knee Pain Injury Help” ru-vid.com/group/PLJVIPiFvv1mY5egV7qX8PHh-kEeL6y1wP Start with one or two exercises, beginning with the smallest range of motion and the lowest intensity. As you feel stronger, you can gradually increase both the range of motion and intensity. It’s best to do these exercises every day throughout the day. Aim to tire out the muscle without losing form or control. Consistency is key. Always avoid working through pain; soreness and mild discomfort are normal, but pain is not. We hope this is helpful! Please keep us updated on your progress! 🧡
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I recently realized that I have severe mucinous degeneration of ACL. Does nonsurgical procedure help? What is your recommendation?
I had two orthopedic surgergons tell me I had a complete acl tear with no mri done. They did a couple test on me to come to that conclusion. Sure my knee is loose but I wasn't satisfied with their conclusion. I went for a 3rd option and they did a Lelli's Test. It's has a 100% accuracy for complete acl tear. I wonder why more doctors and PT don't talk about this or preform it. I'm currently using a Modvel knee sleeve and I'm beginning my healing process pain free.
Hey Jason!!! Great question. Everyone develops osteoarthritis to some degree as they age. The problem is when arthritis develops faster than it should. Arthritis progresses too fast when there is too much pressure in the knee joint. This happens when the quads are overused. People with ACL tears are more susceptible to getting faster progressing osteoarthritis if they don't fix the underlying root cause of the fast progressing arthritis - over-dominant quads. Even for people that do get ACL surgery, they are more susceptible to getting faster progressing osteoarthritis if they don't address the quad dominance. Does that answer your question Jason?
hi doc, i had an acl injury while playing football about 7-8 months back, and i did an MRI and the doctor confirmed it as an acl injury. for a 2-3 days it hurted a lot i could not bend my knee but after a few months without using any knee brace i can walk, i can run on my treadmill and i can even bend my knee, the only activity i didn't do is play football. while i was watching your video i tried your test and i could do it with ease, so doc what should i do now. should i wear a knee brace going forward or should i frequently do exercise or should i consult a doctor and get an MRI again. i just want to go back and play football but i am scared to do it because of my knee. please reply to this comment
I would not play football any more but start coaching. An ACL tear I really believe your knee will never be stable enough to risk reinjury. I had complete reconstruction of Mt ACL and it's only good enough to live a normal life. I hope you're ok
Thanks for the information, this made me understand alot of things. I had a knee injury 3 weeks ago while playing football and the MRI is saying torn ACL, I was able to walk right away, I got swelling the next day but the situation is getting better since and I don’t feel pain, I did the test and I don’t feel pain! So I assume its minor or partial or stretched I’m not sure. The only this is I can’t fully engage my quads when my leg is straight compared to my non-injured leg! And I feel this is weird and I saw that I have to exercise my quads as a way of recovery. I don’t feel pain so hopefully I’m recovering, I’ll get the brace and gradually exercise all my muscles around the knee as I heard this is the advice! Please let me know if there is anything else I can do.
yoo dude, sorry to hear about that! pro tip : strengething your hamstrings, quad, back of your knee and tibialis will help you feel secure again! I have no ACL in my left knee and with staying dedicated to working out as well as special exercises I'm able to ski at a high level that I enjoyed before. hope this helps and speedy healing dawg!
hi doc,video was very informative i had afall recently and my mri shows Type 3 Avulsion fracture of the anterior cruciate ligament at the tibial attachment site. Mild intrasubstance hyperintensity within the fibres of the anterior cruciate ligament, could represent sprain/partial thickness interstitial tear.,Grade I injury of the medial collateral ligament. - A small area of contusion in the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus. - Grade 1 muscle injury of popliteus, soleus and lateral head of gastrocnemius. Partial thickness interstitial tear of the popliteus tendon. - Bone contusion/trabecular microfracture posterior aspect of medial and lateral tibial condyles, medial and lateral femoral condyles and head of fibula. - Small areas of contusion in the patellar articular cartilage. - Mild joint effusion with suspicious capsular rupture with fluid tracking into the intermuscular plane superiorly.what would you recommend for me
Hey Nishant! Thank you so much for your question. We are sorry to hear you had a fall that was so severe you had these severe injuries! You need to rest and heal for sure.

All the best
Thank you. I'm currently at the point you described at the end of the video, where im rapidly improving, however i feel i should truly exercise my knee as much as possible. I had a ACL surgery 5 years ago, but i have likely injured a ligament in my knee recently. I really dont want to waste another year doing rehab, so this video was truly helpful, now i have a new insight! One question tough, would you recomm3nt wearing atleast a lighter brace when exercising my legs, for exampling when using a rowing machine? I do not feel much discomfort when doing this exercise without it, but feels a lot safer with it.
Hi there, 4.5 months ago I tore my ACL playing soccer. 2 weeks later at the gym doing rehab and bike 3-4 days a week with no breaks. Everything is constantly getting better but 1 month ago, I finally got an MRI and the doctor suggested surgery, I also have a meniscus bucket tear, but the doctor couldn't tell if it was already flipped. Makes me wonder about the MRI reading in the first place. Here in Canada its free thankfully, but that would also explain why he didn't listen to closely to my story and instantly recommended surgery. I heard the pop when it went, but that reminds me as well, 10 years ago I heard the exact same thing when I injured my knee surfing in Greece. I had to backpack out of there over the next day and a half and finaly made it home, I never even saw a doctor about it and 1 year later was great, maybe %90 range of motion. I just forgot about the knee after that. Point being, Ive been playing competetive sports for 10 years after that and never had a problem. Makes me think Ive already recovered from the same injury before, minus the meniscus. My question now is what to do, my knee feels strong after 4.5 months and is getting better, is there something I can do for my meniscus as well? I have a massage gun and have a steady routine for rehab. I've heard of the tendon re-attaching, which makes me think it did that before 10 years ago. Thanks for listening!
Hey Joel, great story about your knee ACL and meniscus!!! Yes, it sounds like your ACL is recovering well. The meniscus usually takes months longer than the ACL to heal (6-12 months depending on the severity). The next step is to focus in your rehab routine to address the muscle imbalance that commonly develops after this type of injury. We talk about it throughout this channel when appropriate in our videos. But we talk about it most directly in our 28 Day Knee Health & Wellness Boost Program. This program is a comprehensive exercise program designed to address the root muscle imbalance of most knee problems. You're a great candidate to do well with this program. It's a 100% online and on-demand program for improving knee health. It's packed with exercises, advice and coaching from Dr. David.

Hi Joel 👋 I tore my ACL about about 7-8 months ago while playing soccer. I always recovered fast from injuries soo I left it until I went to the doctor few months back to find out it’s an ACL tear. Doctors didn’t suggest a surgery as I am only 22. It is getting much better by Gods grace after visiting a chiro . I will highly appreciate if you could give me some advice or workouts. Regards and thanks.
@@khaleelmaestro I have been doing basic stretching and stability exercises. Basically everything I've been doing in soccer for years. Strengthen the hips, glutes, quads ect. Balancing exercises. But my main question is still unanswered. Will my ACL re-attach itself? Because if it doesn't I cant live without an ACL, the knee will eventually pop out I imagine playing sports. So my plan is to ride it out another 6 months then get another MRI to see if the ACL has grown at all. If it has, Ill continue without surgery. I shouls also note I just got a PRP injection to speed up recovery and it has helped a LOT! I can now put full weight on my knee. Still can't run for long though. Stay strong and don't push it, but dont miss your stretches either 🙏
@@joelbergfx I have been doing squats and training with resistant bands , eg leg extensions as well as jogging and I must say it is getting better but the pain is going to the ankle now Idk if that’s a sign that it’s getting better. Thank you for your response
@@joelbergfx hey Joel I would love to speak with you about this issue. I play soccer as well and recently torn my ACL (full tear) from the research I’ve been doing is that once you have a full/complete ACL tear it will NEVER grow again because there’s no blood being supplied to this ACL ligament. If it’s only a partial tear then it heals back. Btw do you have instagram or facebook?
Hi Alos, Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with us.

Hey Ambra! It's hard to estimate without knowing a person's previous history. Healing times depends on the degree of injury, the person's natural ability to heal or genetics, as well as the willingness to go through a recovery protocol.
Sir my name is Saheb. Last 8 months I'm suffering for my right knee joint pain. After mri doctor said i have mucoid degeneration of anterior cruciate ligament grade 2 single in anterior horn of lateral meniscus. Last 8 months I'm suffering for this problem doctor side no need orthopedic surgery but i have problem in my daily activities. Please sir help me?
Hey Saheb, sorry to hear about your right knee pain from the ACL degeneration and lateral meniscus problem :-( You've got to fix the underlying root muscle imbalance to normalize the pressures on your knee. Both of those problems have a common root problem that needs to be fixed so you can have healthier knees.

A torn ACLs doesn't heal by itself as it is inside the knee. There are scaring processes that can stabilise the knee somewhat, also a strong muscle base helps, but by no means can those processes replace or compensate significantly for a missing ACL. Most people also have accompanying knee injuries such as meniscus damage that needs to be surgically adressed anyways if you want to avoid osteoartritis in a few years.
100% right, when you neglect meniscus damages and don't heal it surgically you expose yourself to a huge risk of osteroartitis further down the line and this is no joke - the pain can be unbearable.
Hello doc i had met with an accident month ago i got mri report i have complete acl tear and lateral menicus tear and i can able to walk without pain and flex and extend my knee nicely and i no need of surgery how can i heal it naturally plz suggest sir

Hello doctor my MRI Report *Complete tear in the proximal of anterior cruciate ligament. *Grade 1 Medical collateral ligament sprain. *Grade 2 lateral collateral ligament sprain at femoral attachment. Please reply my report
Hey Doctor. Thank you for this video. I twisted my knee playing basketball. Did not hear a pop. I was able to walk on it after but stopped playing. I’m 48 years old and stay fit. I went to the Emergency ortho near my house - they performed an x-ray and tests. It was a PA but she said I sprained my knee and to wear a brace. I told her my knee buckled walking into the garage step about an hour after injury. I injured my knee at 8am and then went to the orthopedic PA emergency clinic at 2pm. The instability happened at 9am after the injury. Question…she said for me to come back in 6 weeks if not feeling better. She had me jog in place diluting examination and then did some tests. But it’s been 2 weeks and I still don’t feel 100% confidence in it. Wondering if it is an acl or like a grade 2 mcl. I definitely feel pain on the inside portion of my right knee. I wear my brace every where. Only take it off to shower.
I tried your test with a brace on and didn’t feel anything. I’m just being extremely careful with it. I’m wondering if I have injured it similar to your injury.
My 12 y/o daughter tore her ACL (as per MRI report). Days after she was walking up stairs, etc. in her brace she did jump shots. Now she’s jumping w/o brace on injured knee 3 months PI and knee seems stable. Is it possible mri was wrong on full tear?
I can complete that test and have no pain. I do have swelling on left sign on right knee and it hurts to walk at times and sometimes i hear a small crack. Trying to avoid surgery again.
Thank you so much for your explanation, i had an injury 1.5 years ago. Initially it was okay, nowadays it's hurting and paining a lot. I was worried if I have to undergo a surgery. Now I am getting hope after watching this video. What is the maximum hours we can wear a knee brace continuously? Please reply.😊
I've got torn acl, but my doctor whou operat me, when he artroscopicly went in saw that 60% of acl is whol, and decide to clen up the leftovers of acl and my medial meniscus, I cam back to a football (soccer) after 6 months I go true rehabilitation and everything was grate. I went true pre seasson preperatons went good, after a month i felt very well, but on one traning Everybode heard a cracking from my knee, me also, I stop with traning, It didnt swollen, but I tok 2 weeks of rest, went back to trannig fell the knee isn't stable, but I went true a trening until on the game my knee drop out. Long story short, I went to a MRI, new injury was a cracking of lateral menisc. So to conclude my acl is on 60% and medial and lateral menisc are cracked withou any movment, I've got full motion of my knee, havent any pain but, some funny felling is ther. Actualy I run today with change of diraction and pu some realy high pressure on my knee it felt good, in gym I can do everything without any problem. Now can I get any good advice how to improve my condition, I wolud like to play football for few more years 😀
Hi! I had an injury of medial reticulum and cruciate ligament of patellar dislocation 3 weeks ago… I’ve been resting my knee but I’m having a problem bending my knee…. How do I get my full range motions of the knee?
Thanks for such a wonderful explanation. I met with a bike accident and my acl got tared .Then I underwent ACL reconstruction surgery 6 years back. A month ago I fell down and my current MRI states that " diffused thickening and increased signal in the ACL" - diffuse increased signal intensity secondary to mucoid degeneration. One of the doctor suggested for the surgery again. But another suggested to proceed without surgery. Does this MRI statement meant partial tear in ACL?
Hey Subha, sorry to hear that you're dealing with this knee ACL problem :-( If the MRI report did not explicitly read that there is a tear, even a partial tear, then there is probably not a tear. "Diffuse thickening," "Increased signal," and "mucoid degeneration" are not the same thing as a tear. Those problems are things that could eventually become a tear, but you probably don't have a tear yet. This sounds like you do not need surgery and you need to address the root problem so that you don't end up having a tear. You should check out our library of ACL videos if you haven't already.
