Knee Injury?

Question:

I play rugby and while I was playing my foot got stuck underneath another players armpit. My knee was twisted a lot further than it has been before. I had to be carried off the field but I can now walk on it. It hurts a lot on the front inside and also when I extend my leg. After I walk on it a while the pain disappears but if I sit for a while and don't use it then I have trouble walking again. When I touch it where the pain is it feels like a bad bruise. I'm just wondering if this sounds like something may be torn or if it's ust twisted really bad and will heal on its own.

Answers:
If the injury happened recently, it is possible that it can get better on its own. On the other hand, since you are involved in a sport where re-injury is very possible, I would suggest you have your regular doctor refer you to someone who specializes in sports injuries.

that's an awful ordeal
I am 100% now but took 9 months
