Differences between knee sprian, ligament tear, and broken knee?

I am seeing the doctor two days from now, but before that i wanna know if my knee is just sprained or broken or one of the ligaments is torn. This semester is very important, but this injury is f-ing me up badly. I am hoping that it's just a sprain. What are the differences?

the best i can say is good luck at the doctors.

what u did to ur knee initially would be a good indication of what kind of injury u have. but if u can bear weight on ur knee then it is pretty safe to say that u did not break any bones. if the injury occured as a result of a twisting motion while ur foot was planted then it is likely that u could have a torn ligament.
if the doc says that u sprained it dont take that as a key to go out and do whatever because a sprian is just another way of saying that the ligament is damaged its just not completely torn.

best of luck

You'll find out in 2 days, probably just a strain, not even a sprain if you are walking on it. Ice and Ibubrophin for the swelling.

even if its ligament damage ur are prolly screwed Ie acl tear
