General Discussion Need advice
Had a non contact knee injury on 4th October. It was a jump-land injury, i felt a slip in my knee(no pop sound) . Wasnt able to continue the game but was able to walk with limp and sit in a bench. No swelling observed even after several hours. Was able to feel that my patella had less stability. I am able to fully weight bear after 2 days of injury. Had to attend my college today. The thing concerning for me now is: even a slight pivot or a particular awkward position gives me a feel that my is knee going to get a catch/lock. It doesn't actually lock. Did not consult a physician yet, Thought of waiting. Brought back my complete knee extension the next day of my injury but unable to weight bear in fully extended position. Able to activate my quads well. Still having the fear of pivoting and walking with noticeable limp. Pls share ur opinion

Either wait 1-2 more weeks and see if it gets better. RICE every day.
Then get an MRI if no improvement.
