Knee Sprain

The term knee sprain is a general medical term commonly utilised to indicate that the knee joint has been excessively stressed in a direction and that the ligaments surrounding it could have been compromised. Being a general term is not specific to any particular ligament and its symptoms can vary from minimal to severe. Knee sprains are often reported in sports, multi-directional activities or accidents where an impact or a twisting action occurs at the knee level. Common symptoms reported by patients include swelling, pain, instability and decreased functioning. In case you have sprained your knee, our suggestion is to promptly seek medical attention from a specialised facility that can manage your situation, reassuring you if the extent of the injury is not concerning or referring you for further analysis and imaging if something more sinister is suspected. Timing is paramount here; our medical service will make sure that you will be visited by a doctor as quickly as possible to enhance the outcomes of your recovery.
