Hi.....about 2 weeks ago I twisted my leg and hurt my knee. They did xrays and told me I had fluid around my knee. Gave me crutches and wrapped it up. I still can not bend my leg properly and I have very intense pain that shoots from my knee to my ankle. How long does fluid stay around your knee? And should I go back to the doctor?
Dear patient With twisting injury of the knee, meniscus might get torn and in that condition X-ray will be normal. MRI of the knee should be done to rule out internal knee injury. Please get it done from radiology center nearby you. Meanwhile, continue cr\u00eape bandage and crutches. Start tab Choral Forte thrice a day to reduce swelling. Apply ice packs frequently on involved knee. You need to consult orthopedic surgeon with report.  Take Care!
