Name: ishika sarkar age: 19 gender: female it's been two weeks (17 days to be exact) since I sprained my knee and I haven't recovered from it. While playing badkismati, I twisted my knee and fell. There was swelling but it has reduced now. There is slight pain but I can't stretch my leg completely. I am applying volini and ice regularly. How much will it take to heal and what should I do and how serious is it?

Ccif you have leg pain then you have to rule out the causes for having leg pain. First of all check your weight and your haemoglobin levels, as anaemia always leads to the symptoms of being tired and also having leg pain though there are no issues with the knee joint or back pain. If not if the pain radiates down the back of thigh and legs then it might be due to sciatica. Kindly consult the nearby physiotherapist. Hope you recover soon from the leg pain.

if the swelling in the knee came immediately after the injury then chances are that you have injured your ligament inside the knee if the swelling came after 1-2 days then probably meniscus is injured. if thats not big enough it will heal. if its big then you may need small surgery to get rid of that pain.

Ice application won't help now. It's effective for only 72 hours of injury. However, you may seek help and consult any physiotherapist.
