PCL Injury Help?!


Question: Could a line drive hitting the front of the knee of a softball pitcher tear their PCL? I got hit more than a week ago and my knee is still hurting. The back of the knee hurts the most, but the outer part of my shin-close to my knee-hurts also. Walking on uneven ground makes me feel like my knee might not hold me up? Do you think this is a PCL tear or do you have a different idea on what it might be?

You could have an injury, yes. Any thing that forceful to such a small area of the body can result in tearing. Force hitting in, has to have a equal force going out. So the backside/frontside of the injury must of had a lots to compensate for!

If your knee is that tender and unstable, I'd have a professional take a look inside, to verify if you are right or wrong. The wrong exercises could make it worse, or tear something farther. Though I understand the ACL is a more normal tear, you may be right if the live drive hit you at a different angle. I'd brace it for now until you know whats going on.

I'm sorry : ( Good Luck!
