Possible PCL Injury?!
Question: A little over a week ago, I was playing in an important softball game for my team and had a few painful moments. First, I went to get a bunted ball, but the grass was wet. My foot slipped out from under me and my knee started hurting. In the last inning, I was hit in the same leg; half-way on my knee cap and half-way on my shin with a line drive. I am the pitcher so I was fairly close to the batter. My knee is still hurting to even walk, and going up and down stairs is nearly impossible. Could these injuries cause a PCL tear, sprain? Or do you think it is something else?

depends on what part of the knee is hurting, and when it happened did you feel a pop or crackling? if the inner shin and outter thigh is hurting around the knee it could be the acl. or if the outter shin and inner thigh is hurting it could be the pcl. if the inside of the knee above and below is hurting it could be the mcl, and the outside it could be the lcl. it also could be a number of different things. if the pain/swelling(if there is any) doesnt go away in a few days go get it checked out by an orthopaedic doctor
some of you people must have stupid written on there forehead,to ask anyone about this crap
