Do I have an ACL Injury to my knee?!
Question: Do I have an ACL Injury to my knee!?
2Weeks ago (I don't know how) I hurt my knee!. NO sports, Just a dog who is active lol!. She likes to charge my knees!. Anyway, it has been a little over two weeks, and I still have swelling on the right side of my knee!. Also, now it is giving out on me all the time!. I was told I may have ACL!. I am unable to put my knee in a locked position and it feels unstable!. I have a lot of pain when I bend it in between the upper and lower knee!. Also, it is making poping noises all the time now!. Can I wait for it to heal on it's own!? I just moved and I have no doctor here yet!? Any advise!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Please go see an orthopedic doctor!. An ACL tear can happen if the dog charged you head on and hyperextended your knee!. If you planted your knee and rotated it it could be a meniscal tear!. Keep ice on your knee 10-15 minutes 2-3 x a day and rest it until you can see your doctorWww@Answer-Health@Com
