Listen Later

If you’ve injured your knee and you’re wondering, “Did I just tear my ACL?” — this episode breaks down the key signs to look for.

ACL tears don’t always look dramatic. Some people hear a pop and can’t walk. Others limp off the pitch and feel “okay” a few days later. Understanding the pattern of symptoms is crucial.

In this episode, knee specialist Arun explains:

• The classic “pop” sensation
• Rapid swelling and what it means
• Knee instability and giving way
• Why pain level can be misleading
• Loss of range of motion
• When you should get assessed

If you’re unsure about your injury, this episode will help you think clearly and decide your next step.
