Knee injury playing football. Diagnosis needed.?My knee took a serious bang 2 days ago. 3 hours after injury my knee swelled alarmingly, became unbearably painful and wouldn't bend or straighten. X rays revealed no breakages. Diagnosis was contusion with considerable swelling. Back to specialist in a week...any guesses whether it could be something in the ligaments? thanks.

Torn ligaments or hopefully on a torn tendon. Either or, if you play high school or college ball, surgery is needed. If it is the tendon you will recover quicker.

You aren't specific enough about what happened for me to really give you a good opinion on what may be going on. What did you bang your knee into? If you hit knees with another person, the diagnosis of a contusion would be reasonable. If you fell hard on your knee, I would then be concenered with a possible posterior cruciate ligament injury.
If your knee is not starting to improve by the time you go to the specialist, I would suggest getting an MRI to rule out any ligament or cartilage damage.
