it's been one year, my knee still not recover, is it in done permanently?

[UncleWai]

Banged knee with one guy last year. the muscle on the outside of my knee was swollen.
Eversince I can't bend my knee beyond 90 degrees without hurting. There's something like scar tissue in between the muscles in my knee. It would cause the muscle to stretch when I bend and it would be freaking painful.
I thought it would heal by doing some jogging. Apparently after a year the knee is still the same.

Is this knee still recoverable after a year?
I don't have health insurance, if it's repairable, I would go back to Hong Kong and get in done in the public hospital.

Did you do any physio, stretching, workouts, low-impact exercise?

why dont u use this as an excuse to go back to hk for a vacation, and while u r there... get it looked at. being that its not recovered in over a year, i would think u need a professional evaluation.

Actually I can bend if my leg is allevating in the air, but it's not working if I want to squat.
I tried jogging, i thought that's low-impact excercise?

Yes.. this is why I am asking right now because I am deciding if I should go back this summer.
I am pretty sure there's scar tissue inside because I could feel a bulge of tissue on the outside of my kneecap.

..orthioscopic surgery??

jogging isn't low impact. your knees take a lot of stress.

A year with pain? Time to see a doctor, preferably a knee specialist.
