[|Human|] I fell on my knee with great force from a really high tree... after that for a few days my knee was really swollen and hurt to walk and move. Now its about a week after and there is still small amounts of swelling near the top of the knee cap and I can only bend it to 90 degrees but I feel fine to walk... should I be worried?
[|AI|]  Hello, I have studied your case. As per your history there is possibility of soft tissue injury in knee. Most commonly meniscus injury occurs may be associated collateral ligament injury. You may need to do MRI knee to see for any functional defect. As per your symptoms you need to do physiotherapy and knee exercises to improve range of motion. Rest and ice fomentation along with supportive brace will help to reduce locking episode and pain. Small meniscus tear can be managed conservatively with physiotherapy with USG and TENS. Large meniscus injury can be managed by arthroscopic repair. Another possibility of patellar ligament tightness which can be evaluated clinically. Hope this answers your query.
