Symptom #6: Bubbling Sensation
The knee joint consists of bone, cartilage, and muscle held firmly together with ligaments that act almost like ropes. Although everything is packed in quite tightly, there are still some spaces that air and fluid can leak into. In the case of a torn ACL, the leaking blood will begin to fill into these spaces.
This will often cause what patient often describe as a “bubbling” sensation in the knee. This symptom is one of several that comes with hemarthrosis, which is the technical medical term given to the phenomena of blood filling these spaces. Be sure to let medical professionals know if you are experiencing this symptom.
