What Causes Pain And Swelling In Injured Knee Without Any Fracture?
I dislocated my knee and it popped back on its own in about 20 seconds,i cant walk because it hurts ,i got a massage ,after 2 hours my knee started to swell ,the next day i got an x ray and the doctor said there are no fractures or dislocations but he prescribed a full cast on my entire left leg.my question is why am i in a cast if there is no bone fractures or dislocations and why does it hurt move my leg even though there is no fracture or dislocations?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some tear or injury to ligaments and maniscus or cartilage of knee joint.
There is possibility of having some effusion or hemorrhage in the joint.
This requires complete rest to the part for early repair so they might have full cast.
Continue giving rest to the joint and continue with medicine as anti-inflammatory and antibiotic medicine mostly prescribed by your treating doctor.
Ok and take care.
