Hi,
Basically like 2 years ago now I had a bad fall from about 6ft onto my left knee and since then had problems with my knee feeling weak and causing me a lot of pain. After about a year I went to see my doctor who had no idea what to say and put me in for physio, physio never came through so I saw a different doctor who did exactly the same thing and put me in for physio. At my physio appointment I was told they thought I had torn my MCL but were not prepared do do an scans as 'I am still growing and a scan could affect my growth pattern' so I had exercises and all that but none of it helped much really. That was 9 months ago and now my knee is worse than ever, should I go and see a doctor again and are there any suggestions as for how to ease the pain other than R.I.C.E. and OTC pain meds? Thank you in advance.
If its any help at all I am a 14 yr old Girl
