My mom has been dealing with knee swelling and pain for about a year now. We've tried different treatments, but the pain keeps getting worse. The doctor suggested knee replacement surgery, but I'm worried what are the success rates and possible side effects? Also, can you recommend the best doctor or hospital for this procedure?

I have an ACL injury and don't have much knee pain, but my knee feels stiff behind when I sit for too long. Can physiotherapy alone fix this, or will I eventually need surgery? I've attached my MRI results.

ACL repair and reconstructive sx is advised.

My left knee ACL was replaced with a graft during surgery 4 months ago but I still don't have full extension in my knee. What exercises or suggestions do you have to help improve my range of motion?

To regain full knee extension after ACL reconstruction surgery, focusing on specific exercises and stretches, alongside proper rehabilitation, is crucial. Heel slides, quad sets, and hamstring stretches are particularly helpful. Gentle, controlled movement and pain management are key to safely increasing range of motion
