<p style="text-align: left;">After nearly nine weeks Jane saw the consultant for the second time. The first time he was reluctant to commit to anything until he had seen and MRI. Jane had an MRI last week but the consultant said the image was unclear and it was still difficult to determine what was wrong and therefore she has elected to have knee surgery that would be both exploratory and corrective. The suspicion is that not only did she tear her lateral collateral ligament she also has cartilage damage.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The good news is that she has started physiotherapy and has been given some exercises to do each day however the physio told her that an injury of this nature usually takes 12 weeks for it to heal. If we take this at face value then only 3 weeks to go!</p>
