Can I heal an ACL tear without surgery my MRI and X-ray confirm the tear but I'm hoping for non-surgical options

physiotherapy and painkillers to manage your condition

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

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.
