9months post Acl injury. Still can't walk well and pain!! I am not sure what to do next!!

Hi all, I partially tore my Acl and tore some cartilage. I had the cartilage cleaned up in surgery put no Acl reconstruction. I still can't walk properly because of pain. I cannot bend my knee I cannot ascend nor descend stairs. And I'm in pain. I do Pt but I think it aggravates the i jury. Does anyone have a similar issue. My knee cap grinds a lot when I bend the knee and I have severe weakness in my quads. I've been told surgery reconstruction of the Acl is a good idea and then I've been also told I should not do surgery. When I did surgery for the meniscus repair I could not walk for up to month on my leg. I was swollen like a a melon I struggled to recover. Please I'll appreciate any advice. I need a plan !! 

Get back to your surgeon for reevaluation

 I would guess physical therapy would be the next step. You should still be doing something to strengthen the leg. Don't be to eager to do anything on your own before you have it looked at by a professional.

I would definitely go to your orthopedic surgeon and ask for MRI exam to see what is going on.

Thanks is for the feedback I am considering doing another MRI.
