What Causes Pain In Knees After An Injury?
In August I fell while on vacation tripped in the city of Toronto over a grate sticking up on the concrete sidewalk and fell not once but twice and banged the outerside of the knee. That night put ice on front and back of knee. However, now if I twist it a certain way or go to put my sneaker on or kneel or sit on the floor like an indian.. i get terrible pain on the side and going behind the knee as well. It takes me time to even get up slowly when sitting. It souunds like an lcl injury.. what do you think?

Hi,
Definitely, you have a ligament injury whether lcl or meniscus. Apply a knee immobilizer and get your MRI scan of your knee to establish a diagnosis. Treatment includes rest, knee immobilizer, anti-inflammatory drugs, physiotherapy and in some cases surgery is required.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
