Hey all…I’m not sure if anyone can help me out here but I hurt my knee on Sunday July 30th playing football on the beach. I was backpedaling and planted my left foot and tried to rotate to my left but just collapsed. I felt a pain in my knee (no popping or cracking) but was able to get up and walk it off and keep playing.
The next day it was really sore. I could not fully extend nor flex it without pain in the posterior knee. I had a visible limp and could not put much weight on it. It did improve the next day to just some stiffness and some mild medial pain. I still feel some pain when extending it all the way though. I’ve been icing it and staying off my feet as much as I can.
I made an appointment to get it checked out but it’s not until next Friday so I just wanted to see if anyone might know what I did or had something similar. I’m hoping it is just a minor sprain…the fact that it has felt better each day is encouraging though…I wanna get it checked out though because I don’t want to have knee issues as I get older (23 now). Any help would be appreciated.
