I had ACL reconstruction with meniscus repair on 11.11.2017. I have started trying to walk with both legs but find it difficult (pain and instability ).Is it necessary to use a braced knee cap ?Please advise.

After ACL reconstruction most patients can usually walk within 10 days. If it was an old ACL ligament injury it's possible that you have weak muscles which can take longer rehabilitation time. You should get help of a good physiotherapist. Whether knee brace is needed or not should be decided by your operating surgeon as he only knows the stability of your knee.
