What Causes Knee Pain After An Injury?

my 14 year old son hurt his knee when he landing on it wrong after jumping for a frizbee. He has played lacrosse with it hurt for about 2 weeks. Last week he was at wrestling practice and it was completely bent and then became very inflamed and swollen. Does this sound like an injury that will get better by itself or should we have it checked out?

HI...knee injuries should never be neglected. It could be a mild ligament sprain too. Especially the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are very liable for injury or sprain. Whatever it is I suggest you take him to the orthopedic surgeon as soon as possible.
