Knee injury

2018-04-01 08:55:15
I got in a mid air collision at basketball today and fell down rather awkwardly having someone's weight over me. After a bit of help to the car. There wasnt a popping sound or any pain during the injury. When I tried twisting my knee everything feels fine, putting weight on it and single-leg balancing works too. However, I've trouble bending my knees beyond 90 degrees despite being able to fully straighten it. My muscles start contracting really hard which is slightly uncomfortable when I bend.

Get MRI to rule out intrarticular injury. Your injury is a high energy event which needs proper evaluation.
