I had my first scrimmage yesterday. i wore my knee brace but i got beat up a little in the game. I woke up the next morning with no pain except when i put my bad leg completely straight and i get this sharp pain in the lower of my knee. its a little swollen do u think it is just from hitting it on the floor or is it badly injured? please help me basketball is my life
Hi Dannerk,
So it's been about 2 years then since this happened? Do you notice any swelling?
Depending upon the severity of the tear, it may heal naturally. Did you have this checked by an orthopedist or a sports physician when it happened? What were their recommendations at the time.
Likely this is as a result of your getting "beat up a little." Take it easy for a few days and see how it feels.
If it continues to bother you, then see your doctor.
