A member asked:
Can you tell me how to know if i sprained or strained my knee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A sprain of the knee is usually associated with some degree of pain, swelling, tenderness, and probably some degree of pain with weight bearing. Do not hesitate to be seen by a physician to rule out a more severe injury such as a fracture or torn meniscus.
