Right knee - Twist
Yesterday night while playing football I twisted my RIGHT knee badly while sidestepping. It felt wobbly and but didn't pain. I walked back home.
During and night and since today morning its paining when I straighten or fold my knee. Should I immediately consult a doctor. I am not able to get any orthopedic specialist's appointment today.

Sounds like a ligament injury. Please consult an Orthopaedic surgeon tomorrow. Until then wrap ice packs around the knee for 10 minutes each time, 4 times a day. Strictly no massage or hot water fomentaton

Please apply cool pack or take ice cubes in a plastic bag and apply around knee for 10-15 mins. Do not massage or apply heat. Consult an Orthopaedic surgeon at the earliest.
