Knee Sprain
A knee sprain occurs when the ligaments in the knee are stretched or torn, often due to sudden movements or impacts. Common causes include sports injuries, falls, or awkward landings. Symptoms typically include pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the knee.
Treatment for a knee sprain usually involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation, often referred to as the RICE method. In more severe cases, physical therapy or surgery may be necessary. Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the sprain, ranging from a few days to several weeks.
