Is this a Knee injury?!


Question: Is this a Knee injury?
I had a slip and fall on ice almost a week ago but I had no injuries other than an abrasion. This morning while exercising my knee started to hurt really bad and my foot went numb for a bit. I stopped, got some rest, and when I woke up it felt like my knee was on fire. Now I can barely stand on it and it aches when it is resting.

Did I do something to my knee? If so, will I have to be on crutches and for how long?

A fracture will not allow you a week's time to surface.

Therefore, your case could be a rapture or a tearing of a muscle.

It will cure automatically with time.

In case there is swelling and the area feels red and warm , please apply Ice Cubes on your knee.

After the inflammation is gone, please apply hot water fomentation on the knee.

Your pain will go in 2 days.

In case there is a cracking sound heard wherever you bend your knees, please go to a Orthopedic at the earliest.



Its true you didn't break anything. You could've torn one of many tendons around your knee. What the other person said is mostly true, EXCEPT that knee injuries do NOT heal in two days. I've had bad knees all my life, and I injure them a lot. The pain can last months, and often gets worse as time goes by.
