Knee injury?

Question

A week ago I injured my knee playing netball from an awkward landing.
The pain was horrible and once at the hospital I received X-rays which came back positive- no bone damage. 4 hours after the injury I has been given enough pain relief to move my leg straight at which point it popped back in (we couldn't visually see it was dislocated which is why it took some time).

I am getting MRI tonight but am very anxious that this could be an ACL tear. I'm currently wearing a brace and I am unable to move my leg (can put a small amount of weight on it but bending hurts).

Obviously an MRI will tell me this but wanted to know others experiences. Some people are able to walk a few days after an AcL tear or knee cap dislocation- is it possible that this pain could simply be fue to the swelling and time it took to put it back in place?

Answer

did you know alot of people are having trouble with acl tears it might take a while for it to pass it sounds like its really swelled up thats where your pain is coming from the swelling and it probably has some redness and bruising it could be nerve damage also might be going on you can't put preasure hopefully everything will get evaluated
