Hello Doctor,

I started playing badminton recently after 12 years and I surely overdid it. Now for last 1 and a half week I have pain (really bad pain) just below my knee and above my ankle. I am unable to walk and climb stairs also. There is too much pain and sometimes it is really unbearable. The knee also seems to be unstable. Please help what it can be and how can it be cured. I am having pain killers.

Regards,
Sam

@Lee,

If it is being done under the advice of your treating doctor, it could be okay.
Decisions about your arm should come from him/her not some third person.

@Chris Gutierrez,

Please get an xray and consult the specialist near you to see the status of plate and screws.

@SHEREA MALCOLM,

Why MRI? Xray is much better modality. If there is no h/o fresh injury it would be sign of previous injury.

Healing is a rule in children and if the child has no symptoms, I do not think there is a cause for concern for old injury.

BTW, Why was an MRI done?

MY DAUGHTER FRACTURED HER LEG WHEN SHE WAS ABOUT 18 MONTHS OLD SHE IS NOW 4 YEARS OLD IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE OLD INJURY CAN STILL SHOW UP AS A FRACTURE ON AN MRI OR CAN IT BE A NEW INJURY OR POSSIBLY THE SAME OLD INJURT THAT NEVER HEALED??
