I injured my meniscus, and my foot is numb and i’m having problems curling my toes. Should i worry?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Almost three weeks ago, I had knee pain in my right knee. I hadn't had knee pain in years, so i got worried. I play soccer, so for two weeks I played 4 games with practices every day without a game. I didn't notice anything bad until my knee began to swell and bruise. I haven't played in a week, but the issues are still there. (I saw a doctor and just got an MRI on Friday.) I don't have major pain when walking, but its difficult to walk correctly. My knee feels very of, i cant bend it like normal and it feels very wobbly. My main question is about my foot. On the same leg with the injury, i got numbness and pins and needles in it. I noticed that my toes are in a curled position, which isn't the same on my other foot. I've been having problems bending and straightening my toes. I'm not sure what this means if it has anything to do with my knee. If someone could please let me know what to expect or what it means. I get my MRI results back on Thursday.

    I too had meniscus tear and could not walk correctly, this in time affected my other knee, I did have some tingling in my feet, and I think it is all connected.
