Can minor soccer accident lead to ligament tear?
Hi doctor,
My wife recently got an MRI of her left knee after a soccer accident. We want someone to take a look and let us know if they are any ligament damage or anything concerning. Last year she dislocated her patella on the same leg, and we are worried it is worse this time but would like a professional opinion. The scan is attached for your reference. The injury occurred a little over a week ago. The patient has been icing regularly but cannot put total weight on the left leg. About a year ago patient dislocated her patella on the same knee. We had an MRI, which showed no apparent ligament damage.
Thank you.

What are the symptoms of ruptured ovarian cysts?
Hello doctor,
I am a 22-year-old female and I weigh about 168 lbs. Seven months ago, I was in the ER with severe lower abdominal pain. I had blood work, abdominal x-ray, internal ultrasound, and an abdominal CT scan with contrast. They found that I had a ruptured cyst. However, for a couple of months now I have had on and off nausea, bouts of diarrhea, some blood in toilet when wiping, and I have started to poop a little more than I used to. Now I will say that my diet has been kind of crazy since moving to another state. I am not sure if I should be worried about what is going on.
