Everyone is at risk of an ACL injury if they make a sudden movement or turn quickly and sharply when running or jumping. One of the signs or symptoms that will definitely appear when experiencing the injury is pain in the knee. The pain can even make it difficult for you to walk.
However, apart from pain, there are still some other symptoms of ACL injuries that can also occur. Reporting from Healthy Sport, some of the symptoms of anterior crucial ligament injuries that need to be watched out for include:
Below are some of the symptoms that can occur if you have an ACL injury:
Many people with ACL injuries claim to hear the sound or feel the sensation of a burst in their knees. This happened because of a sudden movement involving muscles and knee joints.
ACL's break or sprain can also cause great pain that makes you unable to continue your activities. You will also feel more severe pain when walking or climbing stairs.
Swelling often occurs immediately after injury. In some cases, swelling can develop for the next 24 hours. Symptoms of this ACL injury will last up to a week.
ACL's injury will also cause instability in the knee, such as the feeling of shaking or the knee being released. This instability may have been felt very much during activities that burdened the knee joints, for example as they walked down the stairs and rotated with one leg.
Symptoms of other ACL injuries that can be felt, namely the knee that is exposed will feel warm and soft, and the pain when touched.
If you have an ACL injury, you may find it difficult to straighten your injured knee.
In level II or III injuries, pain and swelling may be very severe, making it difficult for you to stand up or walk without help or limp.

In some cases, for example, severe ACL rips, someone may experience sub-leg numbness, to be precise below the knee.
Bruises can also occur around the knee area. This happens because of bleeding in the inner parts of muscle tissue.
Without treatment measures, swelling and pain in the knee can generally subside for several weeks. However, instability in the knee can last longer.
This instability will make it difficult for you to exercise or undergo physical activity, even doing normal daily activities. Especially to stand from a sitting position or down the stairs.
