Knee ligament injuries — especially *ACL or MCL tears* — are among the most common sports injuries we see in active individuals. Early diagnosis and structured care can save you from surgery and long-term damage.

Common Symptoms:
- Sudden pop or snap in the knee  
- Swelling within 6–12 hours  
- Pain while walking, twisting or turning  
- A feeling of instability or “giving way”

✅ *DO’s* After a Ligament Injury:

- *Rest your knee immediately*  
- *Apply ice packs* (15–20 min every 2–3 hours)  
- *Use compression bandage* to reduce swelling  
- *Elevate your leg* on a pillow  
- *Consult an orthopedic/sports injury doctor*  
- *Follow MRI or scan advice* for correct diagnosis  
- *Start rehab/physiotherapy early*, under guidance

❌ *DON’Ts* to Avoid:

- Don’t ignore “pop” sound or swelling  
- Don’t try to walk or run through the pain
