Hello all, I had an ACL knee surgery 4 years back. Post that I was doing exercises and it was all fine. But few months. Earlier while playing football my leg strained. I also visited a physiotherapist he suggested to exercise and I will be fine But now I am able to walk n run properly. But sometimes my knee automatically twists and at that moment I am not able to stand even but if I twist a little bit other way (anticlockwise) It is all fine n gud. Could anyone please advise my what might be the problem in my knee. Is doing physical exercise will help? Note: My muscles around my knee are really weak, because I used knee caps a lot earlier, when I was injured. Any technical advise or suggestions would be really appreciable.

ACL Knee Ligament laxity if you have problem in your legs then it might be due to ligament laxity where your legs would become very weak due to the old ligament injury and that should be treated immediately. Wear knee cap so that you will feel firm while walking or climbing stairs. This is a general strain and for this you can follow these measures: one keep a pillow right under the knee while sleeping, next is you can keep ice in the painful area for about 5--10 minutes, if pain still persists you can stretch your body by twisting the waist on both sides how we used to do in the school drill similarly you can try! One time you can do hot water fermentation that would help to reduce the muscle strain. You have to do knee strengthening exercises, ie. Knee rehabilitation exercises which will strengthen your knee. Exercises will give you permanent cure than the surgery.
