Pinpointing Knee injury???!
Question: about 4 months ago I blew out my knee, walking down stairs, It was dark, was waiting on what I thought was the bottom landing while someone turned the light on. ai took a step forward,not realizing there was one more step, My knee went to the right,(too far, then to the left,too far) I saw white and had a hard time walkin...Since I have worn a brace, Gotten xrays, Now there is a lump on the back inside of my knee, I can't figure out if it's maybe a torn ligiment or tendon. It's not as painful as it was and I have my good and bad days. I was wondering if it sounds like something that can be rubbed out. I know I need an MRI, it's difficult with no insurance...any input...No sarcastic remarks please...I know it's obviously a problem, just seeing if anyones ever been in the same spot?

Are you icing it daily? Taking Ibuprofen to reduce the inflammation and swelling? Is the brace a steel hinged brace ? ARE YOU STAYING OFF OF IT? Those things healed both of my knees. But you will have to take care of it for the rest of your life.
Do Not use an elastic one they do not do the job.
