A member asked:
Acl and mcl tear 9/2014, no surgery. now having some mild knee pain, fullness and can't bend all the way. normal inflammation? brace help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not normal: an injury that old typically will have healed by now. There may however be some scar tissue, or adhesions. They may cause irritation and limited motion. That could cause the swelling. A brace will not help. Have it evaluated by your doctor. You may need physical therapy. Alleve may help with the symptoms.
