Can you get a ACL injury from not doing sports?
I know most ACL injuries are caused from sort of sport injury, but can a person get this condition from years of wear and tear? my knee is stiff, I can't squat then get up without help cause my knee locks up. It hurts all the time and feels like it is giving out on me . I have fallen twice. Going up or down stairs hurts . I have had cortisone shots as well as rooster comb therapy. Not much relief from the treatments. I have done housekeeping work for over 20 years.

You might not have a ACL injury but you might have something else. Athrituis can be a cause for those symptoms or it can just be really sore.
Try to keep it elevated whenever you can and ice it on and off during the day.
If it doesnt feel good in the next week go to the doctors and have them have a look cause there might be something serious.
Also try doing some exercises like the knee to chest and such.
Hope this helps

ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) related Injuries are among the most common knee injuries. The most common ACL injury involves tearing it either partially or completely. The effects of these tears can range from very mild to debilitating. No matter the severity of the injury, two things are for certain, pain and swelling. If they persist, you are in for a slow recovery. As someone who wants to get back to normal life as soon as possible, you can't afford to have your recovery slowed down. Fortunately King Brand Healthcare Products® has a solution to get you back to normal life as soon as soon as possible. This solution is a combination of ColdCure® and BFST® treatments.
