In June of 2011, I Fell Forward and Hyperextended/twisted My Knee. Immediately Following the Fall…?
Question by LNC: In June of 2011, I fell forward and hyperextended/twisted my knee. Immediately following the fall…? there was a lot of swelling and severe pain. I couldn’t really walk. The severe pain and swelling lasted about 5 days, but for at least 3 months following there was still severe pain whenever I straightened my leg too quickly or too far; the same with bending it. Eventually the severe pain went away, but whenever I worked out or did something too fast or too much, I would get a sharp pain. About 8 months after the fall, I went to my doctor. He performed some tests and could feel that something was up, so I got an x-ray and an MRI, but nothing showed up on the those, so I let it go. I am a collegiate level athlete and my knee still bothers me. I didn’t go to the hospital in the first place because I am an athlete who couldn’t afford an injury, but now it’s still bothering me. What should I do? Read more... ...

The ambulance had to come and get her, she had X-rays, a brace, crutches, everything. She hasn’t had an MRI yet, but a doctor checked her out and ran some tests and told her that she tore it. They aren’t sure how bad, but my coach (who has experience, seeing as he has torn his ACL in both knees) and a team sports medicine professional both believe, because of the mechanics of the injury and what she said, that it isn’t a complete knee blowout. Maybe a minor or partial tear. Read more... ...
