Hi there,
I recently injured my knee after jumping a fence. I thought it was just a mild sprain so I've been icing it and wearing a soft,knee stabilizer when walking around campus but after two weeks I'm still in a lot of pain.
The pain started out in the outermost side of my knee and only hurt when I put pressure on it. Now it hurts a bit while walking,and the worst pain is when I try to lock my knee or if I bump it into something that causes it to flex backwards. It also seems to hurt more after walking around campus for a while and that is the only time it swells (not badly,just a bit puffy). Now two weeks later I'm getting a pain down the middle of my knee and into my foot, but only at random times in the day.
I'm wondering if this could be worse than a sprain? And how should I be treating it differently?
