My knee was bruised, and it still hurts 2 months later?!
Question: My knee was bruised, and it still hurts 2 months later.?
I am in cheerleading. About 2 months ago we were doing a pyramid that completely collapsed (the whole squad on top of each other). It was really funny, but my knee landed on a girls foot. It hurt pretty badly and bruised, but i didnt think anything of it when the bruise went away.
Now almost 2 months later, if i even lightly touch the same spot, it hurts terribly. it is a very sharp pain. it almost feels like something very sharp is poking at it anytime it is touched (like a pain worse than just a typical bruise). there is no bruising or swelling currently, though.
does this seem like a serious problem i should see a doctor for.?.. or does it just sound like something that has not had the chance to heal properly yet.?Health Question & Answer

Answers:
personally i would only go if i couldn't use my knee properly, but i know my body well and know knees. anyways a partially torn ligament takes 4 to 6 months to heal not 2....were used to injuries healing faster (even broken bones only take 6 weeks) but ligament take alot longer. so go see a doc but its prob gonna be fine. don't hurt it again till its healed though or you'll be done cheerleading for your entire high school carreerHealth Question & Answer
