It's so hard for you, what kind of damage they have done up to the knee to know. There are many ligaments in the knee, all with different functions in stabilizing the knee in certain movements.

If your knee is swollen and can not bend the knee at the end may have one or two different things: inflammation can fold all the way, or it can be a knee meniscus inside damaged.

Remember RICE:
Rest
Ice - 10-15 minutes per hour
Compression - use an Ace bandage or similar
Elevation - Keep your feet above the knee, the knee above the hip

Ask your doctor, preferably a specialist as soon as possible.

Good luck!

Ice, approximately 20 minutes. In 1 hours and outside it was swelling. Go to your doctor so that they look to test the knee, to see if you have a kind of internal disorder, such as torn ligaments or meniscus, while only a sprain.

Consult a doctor. I do not think he shot a ligiment, but a sprain or a break!

They want to know if he pulled a tape. You wouldnt be able to walk or stand up or bend at all. maybe just a sprain or ligament stretching. Anyway, go to doc ID

If you have torn a band, it really hurts, and it wouldnt be able to go. You might want to see a doctor, but. At least it may be something to take to the swelling.

They have a lot of knee ligaments and everyone can be damaged or broken, Do not Mess With waits on the ice and call a doctor
