Looking for a bit of advice here,I received results of my MRI today and found out i have ruptured my ACL,grade 1 damage of MCL and torn my medial meniscus. I did this mid August playing football and since then have been having weekly physio,bike work,leg presses and step ups etc as well as doing work on my own at the gym.
The reason for my dilema is that my consultant seems to think i should continue my physio etc and return to see her in Feb,by which time she hopes my leg will be stronger,hamstrings etc and i'll be running again,therefore not requiring any surgery. I'm no expert on this subject but i feel that my knee has sustained a pretty bad injury and it'll take more than time to sort this out.
Should i be looking for a 2nd opinion or does her diagnosis sound correct?
Many thanks

Bobby
