A member asked:
How do i know if my leg is sprained if my leg has been hurting at the knee for a week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sprain: Patients usually remember a injury when they sprain their knee . When there is no recall of injury it may be more of a mechanical issue such as improper shoes that create more grip or new activity such as dancing, also consider the surface in which one may be running on or a tendinitis due to overuse.
