A member asked:
Had ligament sprain in my knee about 4 months ago and am feeling severe pain. are there any other treatments besides surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure: There is always other treatment options, it really depends on what ligament is injured and what you are trying to get back to doing. You should seek out a sports medicine specialist and find out what is still causing the pain and then decide on the best treatment option.
