Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I was riding my longboard and lost control at about 20 to 25 km/h. I fell and initially landed on my right knee. The pain only lasted for a day. Now, when I apply weight onto my right knee, it feels like a portion of the weight is being applied directly to the knee rather than being distributed onto my tibia. There is no pain, but I do notice a limit in the range of motion in my right knee compared to my left. Kindly suggest.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
I want to know that are you able to squat comfortably and completely.
Patient's Query
Thank you so much for the reply doctor.
Yes, I can squat completely, but I am not confident to do it quickly. My knee feels the most unusual and weakest when I stand up straight and lock the knee.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Well sometimes after trauma, you may have an injury to the ligaments. Now there can be a tear of the ligament or strain of the ligament. Whatever it is, initially symptoms can be the same and treatment is also the same. So I would suggest you take anti-inflammatory medication for 10 to 14 days and you need to strengthen your ligaments. I would suggest you take medications for 10 to 14 days and let the inflammation settle down and later on start with exercises that strengthen your knee joint.
Thank you.
