How To Reduce Severe Knee Pain After Hitting A Mat Ball?

Hi, I was playing mat ball (like kick ball) in a gym class earlier and a guy accidentally dove right into the side of my knee while I was on base. I felt a pop. I got up and the rest of the day I couldn t bend my knee without immense pain. Walking up the stairs is sooo painful!

Hello,

I have studied your case.
There can be associated ligament sprain/tear leading to pain.

Use ice packs to reduce swelling, inflammation and pain.
Physiotherapy with ultrasound and Tens will help you,
For early healing you can take Tab celin [vit C] and antioxidant with anti-inflammatory [Tab enzomac plus]

If pain persist then you may need to do MRI again to see for any functional defect.

If required MRI knee can be done and if there is destruction of menisci then arthroscopic shaving can be done.


Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
