Knee Injury

Keano!

Not sure if this is the right place or whatever.

Basically I got a knee to the lower part of my right quad this morning in a match, about 1-2 inches above the kneecap.

It's kinda swollen, like when I try straighten the leg you cant see the knee cap protruding out if that makes sense.

When I try straighten the leg, something at the back, behind the knee is pulling in a really sharp way, and I can't tell if it's the top of the calf or ligaments?

When I try bend the leg in, the top of my quad where it's all swollen starts throbbing and I have to put it between straight and bent. This make sense?



Really worried about this. Started a new job last week and I also booked two weeks off in the summer too, so I'm desperate not to have to take time off with a stupid injury.

Any advice here really appreciated, mainly to lower the swelling, because I know that if I was to try and get an MRI done now, they'd say wait till swelling went down.

Applied RICE and all that, been taking plenty of liquids etc.


Hopefully I can get a bit of help here, thanks.

Brian?

The only advice anyone on here can give is for you to see a medical professional, sorry. Get yourself to a physio or GP. Good luck with the treatment, thread locked.
