Could Severe Knee Pain Be Sprain?
I fell down a week ago and all the weight went on my right knee. Next day I went to the medclinic and they told me it was a sprained knee. I d been icing it, take 800mg of ibuprofen. I walk on it some but it hurts. I did not take anything last night and it hurt alot over night and this morning I cam hardly walk on it. Is it worse than just a sprain?

Hi,
It could be a ligament injury, please get your MRI done and apply a knee immobilizer for at least 15 days.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Jaideep Gaver, Orthopedic Surgeon
