What do you do when you sprain your knee?

Answer 1

Yes. Depending on if you even can twist your body 180 degrees. If so, and happened to land in lotus position. Then, and to my knowledge, only then, will you be able to "sprain your hip". It is very unlikely though.

Answer 2

Yes.

A sprain is an injury to a ligament caused when the ligament is stretched too far. Ligaments are tissue that connect bones and there are four ligaments in the knee ... the anterior cruciate, posterior cruciate, and medial collateral ligaments connect the femur to the tibia and the lateral collateral ligament connects the femur to the fibula.

In sports, knee sprains are very common and can occur if the knee is twisted when the foot is planted, getting hit on the knee with the foot planted, running and then suddenly stopping and shifting your weight from one leg to the other, or landing from a jump with the knee flexed.

Answer 3

Firstly, you should see your doctor to make sure no serious damage has been done. If you have already been discharged by your doctor and all you have been told is that you have a sprained knee, it is almost certainly not too serious, and is likely a grade 1 or 2 sprain, and PRICE and exercises should be enough.

PRICE: Usually, the best course of action is to follow the PRICE principles (Protect, Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate) to reduce pain and swelling and to speed up healing. Click the link to find out how to safely and effectively use PRICE.

REHAB: Then when you feel able (usually in just a few days), start some exercises to regain the strength, movement and function of your knee.

Grade 3 tears (also known as a rupture), can often be treated in the same way as grade 1 & 2 sprains, although they will take longer to heal. However, sometimes surgery is advisable if the knee keeps giving way, despite trying exercises.
