How can you tell the difference between a sprain and a tear without imaging?

[KristianB]

Hello sir, I started feeling MCL pain in both knees (mostly my right knee) way back in April of this year (2023). And I believe I also developed a bit of pain in both my ACL’s too. So I just got a X ray and Ultrasound done. And it’s been way over a week now, yet still my doctor hasn’t got back to me about the results. This probably means there is nothing wrong with my Ligaments. I also went for Physiotherapy back in September for a tricep tendinitis, so I decided to mention my ligament problem. My physiotherapist did some tests like knee movements and such. She said there was nothing wrong. But I know myself, there is something still up with them. I believe the ligaments have basically healed, but there is still pain after running and other physical activities. My theory is that my ligaments may have healed, but could have my bones formed in the region of where the MCL sits? I did some research, and I heard about chronic MCL injury’s. I also noticed with my ACL. It rubs up against my osgood schallter (I’ve had this for a few years now). So for certain positions to sit in, like on my knees let’s say. I get quite a sharp pain in my acl because of it rubbing against my Osgood Schallter. Could it be that ever since the ligaments healed, that my bones have been formed into the mcl section? I hope you understand what I mean. But basically all I’m trying to say is that my ligaments are still hurting, but from what my doctors and physiotherapists have told me, my ligaments are fine. Anyways sorry for the long paragraph but please help me solve this because it’s been bugging me for a while now. Thanks very much sir!

Hello how long would it take for an MCL sprain to heal with proper rehab?

[pavellambracht]

So what is the next step if my hip bone comes oflut from my socket when i apply outside pressure? That is a sign MCL is torn... shiuld i make a surgery or i still can strengthen it somehow?

[flomoss]

I was dunking, landed and the outer side of my right knee felt like it was obsorbing all the pressure and since then (5 days) the inner part of my right knee is a bit swollen and hurts. Tear, Sprain?

[NBeaver-bxyl]

Can the MCL be injured from direct impact on the side of the knee ? But no bending, just decently hard direct impact ?

[ryanshaw]

Best treatments to subside the pain? It hurts to fully bend the knee and walking sucks if there’s something I can do to alleviate
Some of this I’m all ears

[kfiscal]

I worked on a ladder all day, up and down, up and down, no pain. But when I woke up I could hardly get out of bed! Can't bend my left knee, slightly swollen on the inside, and if I touch the small area it's very painful, like it's just under the skin. But I can put my full weight on it no problem. Is it mcl, or miniscus??

If its sprained
How long does it take heal

[bestkept]

I got hurt playing basketball last week. Location is the bottom end on the MCL based on the model. It was 24 hours then gone.

I felt two clicks when I sprained my MCL is that normal?

[ahmada]

could running while overweight cause an mcl sprain?

[saracrum]

I am 29 and have had a pain inside my knees for two years. My right knee I can only describe as feeling like the hinge is rusty. Sometimes it’s painful to even sit in a car for longer periods of time. When I try to pinpoint the pain with my hands I can not find it. Just not sure if it could be mcl or not :-(

are kneecaps still in the question. or can everyone move their kneecap
