Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I am 13 years old and I have had unbearable pain almost everyday for the last 3 months in my knees it is worst when I am doing exercise I am not overweight and I do sport almost if not everyday. The other day I jumped over a hurdle in athletics and one of my knees cracked and I just fell to the ground in pain and I had to hit it and try to knock it to make the pain go. I hope you can help because I can't stand the pain anymore. :(
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The persistent pain that you have needs to be evaluated after MRI scan to detect the damage. Usually surgical treatment like repair is needed if there is a complete tear of the ligament. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
