Mild knee effusion

2017-09-27 19:31:51
I slipped while carry all my diving equipment and fell on a rock on my left knee. I did an MRI and everything looked normal, except for a mild effusion. I keep feeling knee tension when i bend my knee and when i bare weight on it its veryy uncomfortable. Its like theres a pulling sensation on the very top center of my knee. What do i do? Does it go away on its own, or do i need to do something about it?
