Knee inflammation
I took a Salsa Class and I twisted my right leg too much. I have had my knee swollen for about 2 months. Its less inflammed now but the problem is that I cannot bend my knee all the way back. It gets stuck and I cannot extend it all the way. There has never been any pain just discomfort. I had an x-ray and it was normal. Some doctors have suggested surgery. Is there another alternative?

It does sound like a meniscus tear. I have torn my meniscus in both knees. There really isn’t an alternative to surgery. If you don’t have it operated on, the tear will just increase in size and become more of a problem. It is not a major surgery and does not take an extremely long time to recover.
