Yes i have got into a motorcycle accident where I scraped and hit my knee , sprained my ankle and scraped the forearm of my arm. My ankle has been on an aircast and just got of splint and crutches. But now my knees are acting up my right knee is squishy and swollen and I feel a pain when you bend down on it. Can you please help me?

Hello.Thanks for the question.Ideally this should be investigated with MRI of knee.After such injuries there can be knee ligament or meniscus tear,joint effusion or hemorrhage or bone contusions. Its always suggested to get early treatments for this.I guess you should bring this to notice of your doctor and get MRI done.Regards.
