Ligament tear

After the fell on Christmas at Utah, my left knee has been swollen for quite some time. The doctor in US has suspected an ACL tear. Gosh, my left leg was so heavy and painful then. After returning to Singapore, I went to a orthopedic doctor in NUH and had a MRI scan and had a new knee brace, call the ranger brace. The brace is much more flexible than the first one i have gotten from the first aid centre at Utah.

The result was out today and my ACL has been torn completely. The doctor says that a lot of people can live without a ACL being repaired, but these people can't do activities that involve a lot of knee movement for example soccer, basketball, skiing. The solution was to have a ACL reconstruction surgery , if not my knee will remain unstable. I still want to dance and try out other sports. I don't want to limit myself to just something. Have to wait for the swelling to go off which would take about two to three months before the surgery.


In the mean time i will have to go on with physiotherapy and walk with my knee brace.
