I hurt my knee about two months ago
playing softball. I think I twisted it
when I was fielding a ball. Initially I
felt pain, but was able to keep playing.
Later on, my knee felt stiff and I was
unable to straightnen it. I have played
the whole season without any serious
problems. After all this time, my knee
is still stiff and sometimes too painful
to straighten, but lately have been able
to straighten it out more than usual,
although not quite completely. Also, the
pain is not as severe as it used to be.
It seems to be most bothersome after being
on it for a long period of time. It does
not lock or catch, but sometimes
straightens out unexpectedly, which can be
very painful. Do you have any ideas as
to what could be wrong? Is it serious
enough to go to the doctor about it?
