Could I need a knee immobilizer?!
Question: Could I need a knee immobilizer.?
I am a 15 year old girl who plays varsity basketball. I hurt my knee yesterday and now it is a little swollen, it pops when i bend it about 90 degrees. It hurts really bad. The swelling is around the bottom and to the left of my right knee. I went to my school trainer and she just said it could be an ACL sprain which I just don't believe because it has been like this for about 6 months. Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Yes. You most likely need a knee brace and to keep off of your knee for a while. I hurt my knee in gym and had to walk with crutches and have a brace on for about a month and a half, though my knee didn't start getting better until two months later. But if your knee has been like this for six months, you need to see a medical official.Health Question & Answer
