Knee injury after dirt bike incident?

I was riding my dirt bike and I was taking a turn sharp and I start to fall the opposite way that the bike was going so it pulled my left leg out and then fell on it. It's still swollen and until yesterday it's still been swollen and I've been unable to bend it more than ninety degrees or straighten it completely. Last night though I was playing "signs" and I was standing up and spun around to fast on my bad leg and it gave out as everyone else in the room heard it grinding and I fell. I wasn't able to get up for about a minute cause of the pain but after that it was a little achy but I was fine. The strange this is is that now I can bend my knee. It's more sore than before but I have more motion . . . I have yet to go to the doctor so does anyone have any ideas as to what the initial injury was or anything at all? Thanks!

    You may have pulled or torn your PCL (a ligament in your knee) which would explain the greater range of movement or you may have inflammation of the Articular Cartilage (the swelling). I recommend that you check out this website it has alot of good information on knee injuries and how to treat them. Or go see a doctor

    No, it could be localized to that subject as in a single leg longer than the opposite. Usually households comply with loved ones developments however.... that's what makes people such a lot a laugh. Would you love to marry a lady that appeared identical to your mother ? Enjoy your range, you'll be extra wonderful to chicks than your brothers ! Enjoy anything exercises you'll do, in different phrases experience what you may have, it won't appear a lot however at the massive scale of matters you may have a loved ones- I expect you like them as you are not entering individual stuff. Well fed or you would not be gambling exercises, ample cash for the outfit, transportation to get there, mattress to sleep in. There is a few child available in the market slumbering with druggies in view that his step dad kicked him out and his mom allowed it. Edit phlips - again to what I recounted prior, it could be localized now not his total peak.

    I believe initially you had dislocated the joint slightly, but your second fall relocated it. Take good care of it these couple days, and if you did slightly dislocate it, don't be alarmed, but you might have had a slight internal bleeding, and if so you might see bruised areas. Rub some icy hot, or similar ointment around the painful areas, and it should get better. If it prolongs, or you the inability to bend and reoccurring pain relapses, maybe you should consult a doctor.
