It's generally not recommended to drink alcohol after ACL surgery, especially in the initial stages of recovery. Alcohol can interfere with the healing process, potentially leading to complications like increased bleeding or infection. It can also disrupt your sleep, which is crucial for recovery

I've been diagnosed with a low-grade partial ACL tear and I'm wondering if physiotherapy alone can help it heal without affecting my daily routine or sports. Is it safe to skip surgery, or will I run into problems later? I really don't want any future issues that could disrupt my life can I manage this without surgery and still live normally? What's the best option for me?

A hyperintense signal on an MRI, particularly a PDFS sequence, and a possible mild partial tear of the ACL fibers in the lower half of the ligament, might indicate a Grade 2 injury, which typically suggests a stretching and partial tear. While surgery isn't always the first line of treatment for a partial ACL tear, it's crucial to consult with an orthopedic surgeon or doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation
