Pain below knee

2018-12-30 10:59:38
I lifted heavy weight which accidentally got on my knee and the ligament below knee got strained and I am unable to walk. Any sudden movement of the leg gives heavy pain.. this is on my left knee.. I do workout. And due to this I wont beable to. I went to a physio and she gave ultra sound treatment.. i had a pain killer.. still pain continues.. I am keeping ice packs. Some one told me to pour hot water on the affected area.  I am resting with my leg over the pillow. Need an expert advise.

Is the only ligament sprain or tear? Have you undergone any diagnostic testing? Need to know grade of sprain or tear? Because treatment will be depending on grade/level of injury.

You should see an orthopedic for a complete evaluation, might need a MRI to find out involved joint structures and tissue. Once you know the degree of the injury, you should start physiotherapy. If it’s 1-2 degree of ligament injury it will easily take 10-12 weeks for a moderate recovery and could take up to 6-8 months for the ligaments to heal completely. Physiotherapy will be very important for a great recovery.
Next Steps
Find a good orthopedic and a PT
Health Tips
Ice, rest, no gym workout for affected joint, use a knee support during standing and walking.
