Question: Leg Knee pain due to badminton playing
Brief Answer:
Sprain or internal structure injury
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
You must have hurt your internal structures in knee during badminton playing. It needs proper clinical examination and relevant investigations to diagnose which structure is hurt. Common cause would be sprain. which usually relieves with rest and pain medications. Other possibilities are injury to ligament, meniscus, capsule or synovial capsule. These are best visualized on MRI (Magnetic Resonant Imaging).
You need to give rest to your knee. If it gives you relief you may resume sports after a gap of 2 or 3 weeks. A pair of knee supports can add to stability. But that again depends on your exact condition. If you don't get relief, proceed with MRI.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

I feel its sprain because of continuous impact and twisting force on knee joint during playing. Also sometimes only i feel that pain and continue to play daily.
What i want to know further is that it is better to wear knee pad for such cases? If so, what kind of knee pad i want to wear while playing.

Respected Dr XXXXXXX
Thanks for your prompt reply.
Is elastic bandage is sufficient for my problem. Don't mistake me because I heared that in knee pad, 4 types are available. Depend on medical problem, each one can be used for particular issues only. Miss use of pad will causes several side effects and even will leads to surgical effects too. Is it true.?
