Knee twist

[usnarayanan]

While bowling in cricket i slipped and twisted my knee.. i had pain at side of my knee. but i can stand and there is no swelling. But i feel like getting jerked often. After one day i feel better now. i am worried whether i can bowl again and drive my bike..

Sounds like a ligament instability. Maybe you did that in the past and just retwisted something on this recent occasion? Jerky giving way could indicate some trauma to your cruciate ligaments.

Any locking, clicking or giving way of the knee? Is there any difference in weakness on each side.
Your better in only 1 day so it sounds like it was just an acute strain but you can't rule a mild meniscal tear... this would make your knee a bit more unstable. I would suggest getting a physio to look at it. Your therapy would consist of stabilisation and strengthening exercises to help protect your knee while it heals.
Regardless of the condition that underlies this incident you should have those exercises as part of rehab for your knee so I suggest you get someone to show them to you.

Hey thanks for all ur replies..
Further to the thing, I consulted my Ortho doctor regarding this. He did some checks on my knee & said it is Cruciate injury.
He has asked me to go for waxation for 10days & some strengthening exercises

is that a typo - I have no idea what waxation is? and google doesn't seem to either.
