Hey all! wonder if anyone can shed any light for me..
About 8 weeks ago i was rugby training in the mud and i slipped and managed to do a massive knee slide! didnt feel anything initially but when at home i was getting up from kneeling on the floor and my knee gave way underneath me and i immediately felt sharp pain around the lateral aspect of my knee joint. I developed a big effusion and could not actively fully extend my knee for 14 days afterwards. The pain is around the postero-lateral aspect of the knee, around biceps fem insertion so i initially thought i had damaged my hamstrings. Now 2 months later i still get pain at the very extremes of flexion (ie deep squat) and compression around that area, although the swelling has gone and i can fully extend now without any problems. However If i sitwith my knees flexed for any long period the knee get very stiff and i struggle to extend again! All ligaments are fine, the knee is not locking or clicking but the only conclusion i could come to was that mhen sliding on my knee i had possibly pinched and damaged the posterior area of my Wikipedia reference-linkmeniscus but i really dont know- can anyone help??? thanks!
