However you may also have patellar tendonitis , PMF or patellofemoral syndrome. So It is best to see a PMR doctor at this point for diagnosis. Consider hyaluronic injections can help if there is stiffness. and weight bearing X-rays/ will be approriate.

MRI shows I tore ACL, lateral meniscus root, MCL, and small impaction fracture of lateral tibial plateau. Won't see a surgeon for another week. Is it safe to walk around with a brace with no crutches or will it make my knee worse?
