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 walking about a week ago and my knee popped and started swelling. The swelling still hasn t gone down and I m in a lot of pain. I cannot straighten it completely out nor can I bend it completely. Also my calf muscle is very sore. What is wrong with my knee? I have worn a brace on it for the past week hoping that would help. Please help
