A member asked:

Knee injury. np said to follow up with an ortho, limit walking, and get a brace. knee pops when walking. should i use crutches until follow up?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May have an ACL tear: Get to an orthopedic surgeon asap. Do not bother with braces. Crutches would help relieve the pain as long as someone shows you how to use them properly. Get to the surgeon asap to avoid more damage to the knee. You most likely will need an MRI of your knee, .
