How do you know if you have torn a ligament in your knee?!

I tore a ligament in my knee when I crashed into somebody while I was skiing!. I couldn't walk, and no matter what position the knee was in it hurt so bad!. It was also very loose and unstable!. I had to keep the knee imobilized and used crutches for like a week!. Feel better soon!

well i would go and see your doctor but tearing a ligament can be really painful!.!.!.you shouldn't be able to walk easily and certainly not run! if your knee is turning purple then there is probably a bruise and bruising on a joint can be very painful and probably very serious!. so go and see your GP whenever you can!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
