Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
I generally see many cases like this at my sports clinic.I give them a
splint,rest,analgesics,anti-inflammatory tablets and ice pack till the swelling reduces to some extent. Then i get an xray and if necessary an mri done to find out the extent of
injury.
In your case,there are 3 possibilities-
1.
Soft tissue injury- there may be no bony injury,only the soft tissues around the knee might have been damaged causing bleeding inside the joint.
2. Ligament injury- there may be a partial or complete injury to one of the 6 ligaments in and around the knee,may be
meniscus or an acl.
3.Bony injury- there may be a
fracture of some of the bones in the knee that might cause painful knee movements.
But i assure one thing, even if it is either of the above 3,all have a good prognosis and you should eventually get back to normal in coming few days.Nothing to worry about.Do get back to me after ur mri reports are ready.
I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.
Thanks,Take care,God bless.
