Weird Baseball Injuries
Author: Baseball Bob
Do I have any type of knee injury?
I hurt my knee playing baseball. my back foot stayed in place while my whole body and knee turned. There was a loud pop and i couldnt move it for about a minute. It looked a little black and blue but it didnt full out swell. Now it hurts to straighten it fully and to bend it. Sometimes just weird movements hurt it and i cant move my leg with out turning my whole body in the same way. (if that makes sense)
- the pain is on the left side of my knee.
Could it just be a small thing that will go away after a few days of ice and rest??
It could be that you tore the meniscus , or cartilage but with out an MRI or CT scan it is impossible to tell for certain . If you have any issues such as discoloration lower than the injury or numbness in the foot , or leg you will want to seek medical attention in short order , you can try to home care for it for now by RICEing
Rest the injured limb , Do NOT use or walk on more than necessary if you have crutches use them ..
Ice 30 on 30 off
Compression an ace wrap will work , do not wrap to tight , if you notice tingling , redness , throbbing or increased swelling or skin turning blue or blanched white remove at once …
Elevate it use pillows and support your knee
If you do not have improvement with in 3-5 days seek medical care at an orthopedic doctor ..
Good luck
