A member asked:

How can i speed up recovery from an acl surgury in one leg and a discolated knee in the other?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: The first treatment typically is physical therapy for chronic injuries depending on what was injuries. If you have intact ligaments then i would start there. If you have torn ligaments or are unsure then an evaluation by an orthopaedist would be your next best step.
