I injured my knee in a fall on Tuesday. I was told by the PA that I probably strained or tore a ligament in my left knee and that if it does not heal in the next 2 weeks they will do an MRI to make sure a didn t tear my meniscus. I now have a terrible rash on the back and side of my knee. Is this normal?
Hello, I have studied your case. Terrible rash which you are felling is due to collection of blood in subcutaneous tissue. This will go to dissolve its own. For this you need to do hot water fomentation and take NSAID. This rash will disappear in three weeks. If your doctor advised MRI and there is ligament tear or meniscus tear then you might need arthroscopic(Keyhole) surgery for this. If you can share your MRI with me then I can tell you about further prognosis. I hope this answer will be useful for you>Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
