Presenting Symptoms after Hard Knock Baehind Knee

Question: Discuss about the Presenting Symptoms after Hard Knock Baehind Knee. Answer: A person can get injury at any phase of life. Human body is very sensitive to the injury. Injuries on leg behind the knees can happen during walking, sitting or getting slipped because of unnecessary friction. The area behind the knee is called popliteal fossa. This area is very sensitive to pain. Injury in this place may cause weakness, tingling, pain and numbness in lower leg. According to Peterson and Renstrom (2016) leg injury can happen during paying or performing certain activity. A hard knock on the leg behind the knee area can happen due to playing outdoor games like football, rugby and cricket. Sometimes extra fluid deposited behind the knee which is called inflammation. Inflammation is very painful and the person feels complication in moving the leg. The knocks may result either less or serious injuries. The primary presenting symptoms of the knocking can be the result of swelling, tearing of ligaments in the region of knocks. The swelling may be the result of fractures o s everal damage. The symptoms can result serious problems in future. Therefore the injuries should be treated as early as possible. Swelling is a condition, in which the blood is released from vessels in the injured area. It gets accumulated near the wounded part of body. Swelling can develop generally within first few hours of injury. The swelling develops with time and the pain also increases gradually. The swollen is noticeable easily and need appropriate medication. Swelling cause serious problems i8n the body and may last for long period if not treated properly. The second reason of knock on the area behind the knee is wearing and tearing of ligament placed on that particular area of leg. Ligaments are made of soft tissues. If the ligament is tore then it can take a long period of time for example, few months to heal. However, Sampson (2016) mentioned that ligaments help to keep the joints flexible. The injured person feels much pain if the ligament is tore. The damage of ligaments or swollen is the key symptom of fracture, which is very painful. Fracture refers to the breakdown of hard bones or tissue of bo dy. Fracture takes fifteen days to few months to be healed completely. The injured feel huge pain whenever the person moves the knee (Evans and Ratchford 2016). Sprains may occur and cause of fatigue to the area behind the knee of leg. Basic medical treatment is much necessary to get relief from pain. Therefore, swollen or tearing of ligament is known as the basic symptom of knock behind the knee. The person needs to consult with medical professionals for immediate treatment to avoid the major injury. Acute injury healing starts with acute vascular inflammatory response (Shahi et al. 2015). The aim of vascular changes is to develop the blood flow to the regional area, transport cell and mobilize to the region to begin healing. The injured cells are separated and the body starts to make new collagen in the place of injury. References Evans, N.S. and Ratchford, E.V., 2016.
