A member asked:
Still having knee pain, pain is around a constant 7 and swelling is still present could i need surgery to fix the ligament if torn?

Always "could": Problem is it needs examined by Orthopedic surgeon to make best plan for healing and rehab, even if not needing surgery--may need immobilized to reduce pain/swelling and facilitate healing, or may need focused physical therapy. Has it been MRI'ed? See an Orthopedist for exam and to discuss concerns.
