Hey,

I picked up a knee injury about 2 months ago and it was quite unusual. I was playing football on a 3G astroturf surface and was playing against these people. One who was very tall and large, stood on my foot and I turned to run and obviously must have done something. Strangely, it was fine at the time but about 3/4 hours later, it stiffened up and I could hardly walk.

The pain is on my right knee, on the inside of the leg and it feels as if it's directly in the knee where the problem is. I believe it is a ligament injury but Im unsure. Rather stupidly, I returned to play with it still not right and although I could play 'ok' that was about it. I'm now looking to completely shake the problem off. At first it felt as if the knee was weak, and it was uncomfortable to straighten the leg.

It has improved in the past couple of week, but It's still a bit sore and aches after activity. Is this normal? In the past I sort of felt a burning in my leg, but now it's just a dull ache after activity. Any tips on strengthening it and when to do it? Or any idea on what it is?

Thanks
