Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi my name is maya I was recently diagnosed with a partial acl tear and i need physical theraphy and a brace but my concern is i could not find a brace today one had to be ordered and i have a job that requires a lot of walking my question is is it ok to return to work without the brace or should a take a small leave
as you mentioned you have partial ACL tear, in the initial stages I will suggest to walk less. as one should avoid the progression of the injury. Also, please focus on a physical therapy as it is a must to be performed for regaining the proper strengthen. There are chances of having major knee troubles if the current scene is ignored.
I wish you undergo an MRI Inititally, take proper rest and undergo physical therapy. if there is life there is world. I hope you will understand. Better late than never.
Regards Jay Indravadan Patel
