Hi just after some advice really I fell and landed on my knee 10 weeks ago while playing netball. My knee is still locked and I cannot straighten it it is also still swollen I had an MRI 5 weeks ago which showed a sprain on my mcl I have been having physio and she is not happy with my progress as it's still very painful and I have very limited moment and swelling no matter how hard I try to straighten my knee it feels as though something is stopping it and my knee just feels heavy all the time. Does anyone have any ideas or any exercises I should try

    Well back from my appointment with an orthopaedic consultant and finally going to get some answers booked in for an arthroscopy he basically thought the same as me and on further inspection of my mri scan 12 weeks there is some damage to my meniscus which has more than likely got worse since scan at last someone has listened and agreed with me. Thanks everyone on here for your support and encouragement to keep complaining

      Glad you are getting somewhere now Kerry. Isn't it awful though that you have do all this just to try to get anyone to listen. The trouble is reading an MRI is like trying to decipher smoke! Not always is it evident, especially with meniscus tears, what is happening.

      All the best
