Suggest Treatment For Pulled Collateral Ligament And Swelling
I have pulled my collateral ligament and had swelling in my knee. It has been 3 week and the water in my knee is still there but i have no pain. I can walk(hobble) but cant half bend my knee, should I go to the doctor again see if my tendons are ok? Or keep doing what he told.me which is rest till the fluid goes away so he can fully examine my knee? It is recuperating but he told me it would take 2 weeks fo the liquid to go away. The xrays showed nothing wrong with my bones.
