I fell on my knees liberal of unexpected...?
I was snowboarding(on one of the junky kind with no foot hold or doesn`t matter what, you just stand on it) and I fell and i landed on the inside of my left knees cap then my other knee did indistinguishable thing and now like usually when i jump to sit on my bed i put my left knee on it to bring myself up so when i do that now if feel like there's a bruise or something on it but there isn't. Is there anything wrong beside it or what? thanks
Answers: You may have bruised your bone (small fracture) or torn your meniscus. Go easy on your knees for three weeks and if it is a bone bruise it will restore to health and you are good. If it is your meniscus you will still notice something is still not right after three weeks. An x-ray will confirm a bone bruise and MRI will confirm a torn meniscus. If you feel dull pain you can put your leg in a cast. The doctors will not do surgery in any case unless you have a loss of mobility.
