I'm worried about my chondromalacia diagnosis from a few years ago. I sometimes didn't stick to the doctor's advice about not jumping, running, or folding my knees, and now Im experiencing knee pain whenever I put stress on them. I recently started karate classes that involve a lot of those activities. Is there anything youd recommend I do to manage the pain and keep my knees in good shape while still attending classes?

6 weeks post ACL surgery and my physiotherapist keeps forcefully bending my knee during home visits, causing intense pain. He increases the bend every day with more pressure and also compresses my knee while elevating my leg from the ankle. Is this normal or is he being too aggressive with the recovery process?

Pain from physio should be tolerable; forceful passive bending early on may harm‚Äîconsider a second opinion.

I have a ligament injury in my right knee and got an MRI done is it possible to recover without surgery or would I need to go that route

Small ligament injuries can heal with bracing and rehab; surgery if instability or tear is complete.

My MRI shows an ACL grade 1 sprain and the doctor recommended rest, ice, and keeping my knee elevated. But the pain isn't getting better it's really intense. I'm worried and don't want surgery. What else can I do to ease the pain and heal properly? I've attached my MRI report for reference.

To guide you correctly, a thorough assessment is necessary.
