Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Yesterday morning I was playing volleyball with a partner and we collided. Her knee hit my outer thigh, right above my knee. The muscle tensed up making it difficult to bend/squat and is occasionally painful to put weight on (an example would be walking up stairs). I ve been icing/compressing/elevating it, but it s still quite painful even with pain medication. Is there anything else I should be doing? The pain is sometimes sharp, and causes my knee to buckle. If I m not moving then it s only somewhat sore.
hi i appreciate ur concern.it appears injury to your thigh muscles and ?strain onknee ligaments.it would be better if u do a x-ray of knee to rule out any significant damage.along with painkiller medicines,andicing,i always advice my patients to immobilize knee in a splint,which helps in healing of injured tissues.consulting ur orthopaedic doctor will help u much. thanks. for any further quaries ,i will be happy to answer.
