A member asked:
Sprained my knee 4 mos ago and recently started getting sharp spasms, did it not heal properly or is there more damage?

Yes: If after 4 months you still have sharp pains you probably have more than just a sprain. It could be a tear of your meniscus and you should get an mri.

Knee sprain: It is possible that your injury caused some other internal derangement in your knee, such as a meniscal tear or surface cartilage injury. You should consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
