A member asked:

What's a good way to check if my knee injury is serious or not?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Visit a doctor: As with all injuries, a health history, circumstances of injury, physical examination and results of imaging studies (x-rays, mri's, etc) are the keys to diagnosis and choice of treatments.
