Knee problems( injury in my right knee)?!
Question: Knee problems( injury in my right knee).?
It has been over 4 weeks since I visited my doctor because of my knee injury and I was told that I the swelling would go away in a week and I would be able to play soccer around this time. The swelling was minor but it has not gone away and I still feel pain but only when I stretch out my leg. The doctor said it was a minor sprain but since im still hurt do you think it might have been like a tear.? It has been over 6 weeks since my injury btw. Health Question & Answer
