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.
I was practicing dance turns and hit my knee pretty hard on the corner of a counter last night and it hurts pretty bad when I do anything with it especially walking. I m kinda concerned because I have rehearsal for about 8 hours today and two shows tomorrow is there anything I can do for it?
I see this is a bony hurt. It shouldn't be a ligament Injury or else the pain would have been excruciating. Since you have an important task coming up I will advise you to do icing and use a knee brace. Please do support the knee for now as post the concert gets over you has to not land into something bad state. don't take much pain killers. Try icing and take the knee brace. Just before the concert take the pain killer so you can perform well.
But as soon as the show gets over please don't move around more and allow complete rest for the knee. As it needs to recover well and I wish you do future concerts well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
