Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I fell long boarding on my knee about two weeks ago and cut my knee to the point it needed stitches but they couldn't stitch it.....now I'm having trouble doing any activity on it or even sometimes waking and I'm afraid I might have done something to the ligaments? I've noticed that when it hurts it starts getting hot and idk if that indicates anything? Please help me thank you!
As per your history there is possibility of soft tissue injury in knee. Most commonly meniscus injury occurs may be associated collateral ligament injury. If pain persists then you may need to do MRI knee to see for any functional defect.
As per your symptoms you need to do physiotherapy and knee exercises to improve range of motion. Rest and ice fomentation along with supportive brace will help to reduce swelling and pain.
Small meniscus tear can be managed conservatively with physiotherapy with USG and TENS. Meniscus injury can be managed by arthroscopic repair.
