How To Treat A Knee Injury?

I was at gymnastics today attempting a gainer back flip off a ledge into a pit. I went back to far and hit the corner and jammed up my knee. I think it twisted but I m not all to sure because it happened so quickly. after the incident my knee felt like it was burning and it was tingling. I walked around to see if it was okay. but I looked down and realized there were two large bumps on my knee. what happened?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
You have got twisting injury to knee which may lead to fracture or more commonly meniscus injury. This needs to be investigated with mri of knee to confirm diagnosis. MRI gives detail of ligaments and meniscus injury and is helpful for planning treatment. Visit radiology center nearby you and get it done. Till the time wear long knee extension brace on involved leg and avoid knee bending. Once report arrives consult expert arthroscopic surgeon nearby you and get yourself examined. All the best.
