Knee'd help

I was playing soccer today and i hyperextended my knee. I did not hear a pop but the force made me unable to use my leg for the rest of the day about 5 hours and only felt good when walking for 30 min then hurt again. Now when i bend my leg i have a sharp pain in the back of my knee. what is wrong?

Hi there!

Well, without an evaluation it would be difficult to come to a conclusive diagnosis. Possibilities include fractures, tendon/ ligamental tears/ injuries, inflammations like bursitis, tendinitis etc. It would be best to get this evaluated by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Meanwhile it is advised to rest the knee. You could use a crepe bandage for the purpose. Application of ice-packs and OTC NSAIDS may also help relieve the pain
Hope this helps.

Take care!
