What Does My Ultrasound Scan Report Indicate?

Hurt my knee 7 weeks ago. Was walking up stairs and I must have stepped wrong and felt pain in my left knee. Worked on stretching and icing. Two weeks ago, my calf started to swell up. Went to dr and she ordered an ultrasound to rule out a blood clot. Thank God no blood clot! Referred me to PT and ortho in the next 2 weeks. Xray came back fine, with mild arthritis. From my knee to ankle swells up everyday by nighttime. I am wearing a knee brace during the day and icing at night. Any thoughts on what I could be dealing with?

Hello,

This is a strain in which there is a tear of ligament or meniscus tear which leads to severe pain in joint treatment. It is okay and it will take time.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
