Knee injury
I had teared acl 15 years back and since then I had buckled knee once or twice a year. Recently I buckled a week back and feeling pain while making leg straight. I did an MRI and report says complete acl tear with bucket handle miniscus flipped into joint. I have consulted a doc and he advised for surgery. I have a US travel plan on 3 Rd week of August, my question is can it wait till then? My condition is lipping slightly and some times feeling painin side of knee.
