Ice.: Ice for 20 minutes at a time, 3-4 times per day. Also, take an over the counter anti-inflammatory medication. If you're no better in a week, then see a sports medicine physician for evaluation.

Question 3

what to do in my house to fix my knee that  preserves liquid after 4 weeks of  knee injury of grade 2?

Accepted Answer

Concerning: Not sure what you mean with a grade 2. This usually is in reference to a ligament injury such as your medial or lateral collateral ligaments which are on the inner and outer side of your knee respectively . These usually are treated conservatively with bracing, control of inflammation (ice/ Ibuprofen ), and modification of activity. Swelling of knee joint, especially at 4 wks., needs doctor exam.

Question 4

ankle still swells during day 2 weeks after knee injury. is  this cause for concern?

Accepted Answer

Yes if U don't know: why it is  swollen , may be there is associated injury , see your doctor for examination and tests  ( X-ray MRI etc ) to rule out fracture or ligamental injury  Speak to your doctor or go to ER

Question 5

is it normal for my knee injury 1 week ago with bruising knee to toes and swelling?

Accepted Answer

Knee Bruising: When your knee gets sprained, the swelling and bruising is pulled downward by gravity into the ankles and toes. The more the swelling in the feet and ankles, the worse the knee injury. See an orthopedist to evaluate the severity of your injury, and whether you need x rays or mri. Dr rich blake.

Question 7

knee injury while dancing. heard pop tearing sensation. unstable knee x3 weeks medial swelling  swelling down into foot.  dx?

Accepted Answer

Knee ligament : Most common knee injury after pop leading to instability, swelling, pain is an acl tear. Medial pain could be meniscus or mcl injury. Another possibility could include patellar dislocation....But usually more obvious.

Question 8

does capsule injury last for up to 4 weeks?
i feel pain when extending my knee horizontally and my orthopedic doctor told me capsule knee injury.

Accepted Answer

Can take 4-6 weeks: If you have a soft tissue capsule injury to 
the knee it can certainly take 4-6 weeks
to heal
'but many times when you get that type of injury you may also injure the meniscus or
other ligaments in your knee 
you should have a good exam and possibly
an MRI before returning to sports.

Question 9

knee injury wrestling, week later no pain bit of instability, can walk fine, coach thinks 2-3 grade acl tear could that be possible without much pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes for sure!: Believe it or not, after a person tears their ACL most all the pain can resolve between 1 to 4 weeks. The initial pain is from the ACL tearing and bleeding into the knee in addition to bone bruises that occur. These all cause initial pain, but as the swelling resides and the bone bruises resolve, a knee with a torn ACL can essentially be painless.  This is why some people put it off ......Mistake!

Question 10

why is my foot and lower leg swollen after knee injury from a fall a week ago?

Accepted Answer

Swollen leg: You may have a soft tissue injury to the leg in addition to the knee. Ice and elevation should help.
