PLEASE HELP!! What did I hurt in my knee? And how long/ what should i do to help it heal?


Just over a week ago, I was skateboarding, and when i landed I came down into the normal crouch on the board, but my left leg slid of and from the bent position, twisted behind me. I immediately felt pain in the back and lateral area of my knee, went home and iced it on and off. Within a few days it felt a lot better, but now instead of improving it is at the same stage. Walking and all normal motion are fine, i dont even notice the injury, but if I go to pull my heel to the same side buttock, or if i squat my butt to my heels, i feel pain behind the knee on the lateral side. Pain is not unbearable but I dont know when i should return to skating/basketball while i still feel this. Also, sometimes once i have stretched or tried pulling my heel to my butt a few times already, eventually i can do it without noticing the injury, but i think this is because I have adjusted to the little pain. PLEASE tell me if you have any idea what i did or how long it takes to heal.

THNX SO MUCH

there was NO SWELLING/BRUISING at any point, no symptoms except pain when squatting to heels, or bring heel to my butt

i previously injured my MCL, quatricepts tendon, and other parts of my knee, and the symptoms i have now were present along with many others last time, and it didnt require surgery so i know that is not an issue now.

Sounds like an MCL which could require surgery. If it doesn't get better in a few weeks, I'd see a Doc.

If it really hurt it could probably be ur ACL
