Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter age 14 had injured her meniscus playing soccer about 3 months ago. had x-rays and cat scan that showed a minor tear of the meniscus. She started practices recently with no pain at all, but last night felt some pain during an exercise at practice. Lots of pain. This morning she was able to put weight on it and walk to school, but still felt some pain. Now I noticed she has a black-and-blue bruise in the back of her knee. she can still walk with a limp. What should I do?
Hi. In this case there are chances that the meniscus would have teared again causing hematoma and bruise. The right approach would be to go for a MRI to see the status of meniscus at any other structural injury. Consulting a knee surgeon before that will be best.
