A member asked:
What do you advise if i sprained my right knee playing basketball last friday. do i have to do rehab for it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Appropriate recovery: If you sprained your knee playing basketball, you should rest the knee joint and avoid sport participation presently. Rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medications as well as stretching and strengthening of muscle groups around the knee joint are all sensible steps to recover. You do not necessarily need rehab. You do however need full recovery before returning to sport play. Seek advice if worried.
