A member asked:
Knee pain caused from sports after my friend fell with his full weight on my knees when i was sideways on the ground. can you identify my injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nope.: Could be anything from a simple bruise to a meniscal tear, to a torn ligament that would heal by itself, or an ACL tears that won't heal itself. How long has it been hurting? Getting better after 7-10 days, maybe a bruise. What makes the pain better, Worse? Does the knee feel unstable? Yes, maybe major ligament torn. Is there locking that comes and goes. Yes, maybe meniscus torn
