What are some of the symptoms of a torn ligament?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Bruising: As well as pain, swelling, and instability. Some people have difficulty using the injured part as well. I mention bruising first because just from visual inspection, bruising tends to indicate that a ligament was torn or bone broken compared to just a sprain.
