I hurt my knee in a bike accident 3 weeks ago and the x-ray showed a tibial spine fracture with the ACL displaced by about 3mm. I've been wearing a knee brace since then but still can't walk freely stairs are painful and I can't straighten my knee all the way. How long until this heals and do I need surgery?

I'm 25 and dealing with Pott's spine. I've been on AKT treatment for the past 7 months and recent MRIs show the pus is going down. I did an LFT test and noticed that my alkaline phosphatase is a bit high at 126, while the normal range is 46 to 116. Everything else looks okay. Should I be worried about this? What other medications can I take to help with the side effects of AKT? A friend of mine mentioned trying LIVRITE for 15 days and Bendon while continuing AKT. What do you think I should do?

It's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.
