Knee injury
Hello Doctor,
I have suffered an internal injury on my left knee while playing on Sunday ( I was not hurt by anyone just got leg twisted) and since then I haven't been able to walk as I feel too much pain to put weight on my left knee. It was swollen for 2 days so I had gone to the local bone setter and he did some massage and adjustments for now and has strapped it so I'm feeling less pain but still not sure what injury is this.
This is the second time this has happened the first being in 2019 and I feel scared now so I have to treat it but not sure if this is a hairline fracture or miniscus/tendon etc.
My sister who is a nurse in Qatar, suggested me to check with the Ortho doctor.
So I hope...I have explained my situation clearly and I need to know what kind of scans reports or X-ray do I need to know before consulting Ortho Doctor or any advice you have for me will appreciate
Thanks so much.
I have attached a pic of my knee post medical strapping.
