Knee Injury

[MarkyP05]

Recently during a 5-a-side football game i twisted my knee trying to play a pass with the outside of my foot. At the time it was quite painfull... no swelling but i had bit of trouble walking a few days after and found it slightly painfull to bend my leg. anyways after a weeks rest i started playing again althou in a couple of games i've played the same pass and had the same pain, althou not as bad and was able to continue playing, albeit with a bit of dsicomfort the next day. Just wondering if anyone has experienced a similar injury... or can suggest ways to help.

ok. my strong suggestion would be to see a doctor. possibly get an MRI or CT of your knee. it is very possible that you might have torn your ACL, or Anterior Colateral Ligament, not a lot of swelling, and yes, it's very possible for you to still have functionability with it torn. you are experiencing the same pain when you provoke it in a very physical manner. which suggests the tear. this is one of the most common tears of the knee without disabling you right away. surgery is the fix. im not telling you that you've torn it, but from what you posted thats what it souds like. your doctor can tell you more, and i would suggest seeing him. if it's torn all the way it can't get any worse for that ligament, but the longer you wait to check, the more scar tissue would build up, and if it is the acl, then that means the more they have to take out. get it looked at by a professional.

If you had done your ACL you would know about it.

However if there is no swelling then its prob not a ligament damage either.

go to the doctors, the doctors would send you for an MRI there refer you to hospital who prob put you down for keyhole surgey. Most hospitals wont send you for MRI as its too expensive.
