I have a knee injury and dont know what it is? |
I crouched down one day and got back up real quick and felt this incredible pain for one second. I didnt think anything of it until I found out a few days later that I had this huge lump on the back of my knee which is hard as a rock. The front of my knee area is all swollen and I cant even walk right. I have to limp around bc it hurts too much when i try to stand on that leg. This has been going on for over a week. Do I need to see a doctor and what could my injury possibly be? Yes, you need to make an appointment with an Orthopedic Doctor. You at the least have fluid on your knee and at the worst torn a ligament/broke of piece of cartilage loose. definitely see a doctor (orthopedic or sports injury specialist) There are some people that have a small cyst form in the back of the knee called a Baker's cyst and that may have ruptured from your sudden knee bend and straightening. I would recommend seeing your nearest orthopedic surgeon for an evaluation and MRI to see what exactly happened. Hope this helps! |
