Knee cruciate ligament damage

Cause - The anterior cruciate ligament is most often stretched, torn, or both by a sudden twisting motion (for example, when the feet are planted one way and the knees are turned another way). The posterior cruciate ligament is most often injured by a direct impact, such as in an automobile accident or football tackle.

Symptoms - pain, swelling, pop sound when initial damaged occurred, leg may buckle when pressured applied upon it.

Stress Fracture

Cause -  Stress fractures often are the result of overuse or repeated impacts on a hard surface. Increasing the amount or intensity of an activity too rapidly is a common cause of a stress fracture, as is using improper equipment.

Symptoms - sharp pain while walking and mild swelling, in the affected area

The easiest injuries to deal with is the muscle cramp and the concussion because they are the easiest to recover from, the worst injuries are the knee ligament damage and the stress fractures because they take longer to recover from and may need specialist help.
