I have no clue what my injury can be to my knee PLZ HELP!!!

[Scherer321]

I cant bend my right knee toward my thighs because when I do it, it hurts on the left side a bit and then i feel a sort of tickle sensation in my back knee and it also hurts to in the back. It kind of feels like it will pop but it doesnt.

This is how it started


About a week a go i was playing football when someone feel on my ankle and my whole leg was lock in one position. Then about a second later one of my friends pushed me over and my back bent like a U making my right knee bend in a very painfull position. I screamed in pain and now that is why i am here hopeing to get help so if it is someting serious i can get an x-ray

Could be a number of things. Sounds like it might be the Medial ligament if it's pain in the left side of your right knee.

But then again, what the hell would I know?

Get to a Sports clinic and have it checked out. You might need an MRI as well as an X-Ray.

Get it checked out is the best advise to give. Find a sports Doctor that has a good reputation and go and see them.... I messed about with normal GPs and got no where, my advise is to go to someone who sees lots of knees and be guided by them.

Could be medial ligament, medial meniscus or possibly even ACL from the story. However, with knees, you need an experienced examiner. If you can afford to see someone in this category, great. If you rely on the public hospital/bulk-billing segment of the health system then bad luck - at this stage the Australian government doesn't believe that your knee injury is a priority.

Unless you're in the highest income bracket, getting the largest tax cuts of $90 per week to be introduced next year. Perhaps this is the government's solution - give tax cuts to those who can already afford good medical care - instead of spending more on medical services.

I'd have to say to get an MRI on the knee. You won't find out unless you have one.

Get an MRI asap.....I had a similar injury....my leg planted and locked....another football player dove and tore my knee inwardss.......I had a grade 3 medial collateral ligament tear, meniscal tear, acl tear, LCL buckled.....If you have injured your MCL, which it sounds like you did.....you may required surgery....This is a very thick ligament, which is hard to tear completely, but if not treated properly, even a partial tear can easily heal wrong,....either too much scarring or too much laxity in medial movement.... just do whatever it takes to have an MRI done....
