You could tell: When you do that, you knee get swelling quite a bed and you will not be able to bend for a while and start give out on you.

A member asked:

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?
