A Doctor For Knee Pain and All Leg Injuries
According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, more than 5.5 million people visit the doctor each year for knee problems. Because the knee is one of the largest and most used joints in the body, particularly among people who participate in sports, it’s one of the easiest body parts to injure.
Knee ligaments like the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), can be strained, torn, or snapped as a result of abrupt twisting, overextending, or blows to the knee. The meniscus tendon can also be easily torn or injured because of these activities.
Injuries to these tendons and ligaments can be extremely painful because it affects the ability to hold the knee joint in place properly. People with knee and leg injuries should contact a doctor immediately if they notice swelling, extreme persistent pain, popping noises, or the inability to move the knee.
