Had arthroscopy surgery 3 months ago for a small medial meniscus tear, trochlear dysplasia, and an ACL sprain but still dealing with pain, stiffness, and locking in my knee. The MRI also showed mild quadriceps tendinosis and a loose body in the joint. Why am I not recovering well and what should I do next?

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.
