Leg Numb, Tingly, Fluid With Swelling After Acl Brace Due To Knee Twist. Why ?
My daughter twisted her knee and had a acl brace on. She said her leg felt numb and tingly. Could not walk right after. But after 10 to 20 minutes was able to run and walk. Bend it also. Over night it got stiff and could not walk on it. Little fluid and swelling . Also hurted when trying to bend. After icing for two days able to bend to bout 40 degrees. Please let me know what this sounds like.

Hi and thanks for the query,
This is an indication of a traumatic process that certainly took place. It is very likely that the cyst located behind the knee at the level of the popliteal fossa, called the popliteal cyst might have burst. Doing a ultrasound at this point, coupled with a proper clinical evaluation by an orthopedic surgeon could be helpful. Kind regards
