Suggest Treatment For Ligament Tear Post Injury

Could be ACL ligament tear
Detailed Answer:
Hi there.
Welcome Welcome to Healthcare.
Thanks for the query.
Is there swelling of the knee?
Are your show to lift your leg up straight ?
It is possible that you may have torn your ACL ligament. This can lead to a large swelling of the knee.
Keep your knee extended in a long knee brace. Apply ice. Keep the limb elevated over a pillow or two. Avoid flexing the knee. Avoid weight bearing if you have pain, for 6 weeks. Get an MRI after 6 weeks.
Take pain killer like Tablet Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day for 5 days after meals. Also take Tablet Ranitidine 150mg twice a day, half an hour before food.
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
Regards,
Dr. Aashish Raghu


Ruptured Baker cyst
Detailed Answer:
If you have arthritis in that one, then a Baker's cyst could have popped and the fluid drained into your calf muscles causing pain and swelling.
Kindly keep the limb elevated.
Get an Xray and follow up with me.
