Suggest Treatment For Injured Knee While Bending

I hurt my knee while lifting a package half bent down I lost my balance and with all my weight on my right bent leg I lost my balance and twisted my right knee about 5 weeks ago.... i have improved some, but I still cannot straighten my leg completely and if I try to straighten it there is a lot of pain. I also cannot walk well, and am not able to put weight on my right leg, due to pain in the knee itself. Just had an MRI today, and had cortisone shot a week ago..... Any thoughts what it could be I can bend my knee and move it sitting right and left

Hello,
I have studied your case I think that you are having meniscus injury. Meniscus is cushion like structure of the knee joint and it helps in smooth functioning of the knee joint.
When this is torn than patient can not sit for long time, some time there is locking of knee joint. If MRI shows this than you need arthroscopy surgery, in which with the help of camera, doctor clean the joint from inside and meniscus tear is repaired.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
