Maybe either or both: A patient can ask his doctor (the doctor who evaluated the injury and repaired it) to see what was damaged and what sort of sports activities are ok or not ok during the recovery period. Doing things that further damage the knee would usually be a bad idea. You're posting on a free public forum, where we have no idea what type of accident you had nor what type of injury and knee repair you had.
