Do I have an internal bruise?!


Question: Do I have an internal bruise?
I am 15 years old and about 2 months ago I was snowboarding and crashed pretty hard. My knee automatically hurt very bad and got very hot. It hurt to keep my leg bent for a period of time then straighten it. I had a bruise for maybe one week ish and then it went away. I thought everything was fine until I randomly get sharp stinging pains on the knee or if i lightly bump it on something the stinging pain comes back and the pain does hurt a lot but goes away within a minute. I have been trying to figure out what is wrong with it. Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.

Answers:

I think you have more than a bruise from your description. You should probably have an MRI or CT scan to see what is going on inside your knee. You could have torn cartilage, tendon damage, or an ACL or MCL tear. I would have this checked by a doctor.
