Leg Injury. Swollen And Tingling Knee. Walking On Toes To Avoid Straightening Leg
Hi! I was practicing front flips into a padded landing mat, and I landed with my right leg straight up and down rather than bent and I felt pain in my knee . I stretched my leg and the pain went away and I continued for another hour. There was very little discomfort and no pain. It s three days after and my knee still does not hurt but feels swollen and tingly and have been walking on my toes on that leg to avoid over straightening.

Hello.
Thanks for posting your query.
According to description , It could be soft tissue injury, ligament injury or fracture.
Without X-ray, it is difficult to differentiate a fracture from others.
You have to visit an orthopaedic surgeon for detailed examination , xray and treatment plan according to that.
Meanwhile you can take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid putting weight and rest well.
Wishing you good health
Regards.
Dr Saurabh Gupta
