Help me please, i beg of you, knee problem?!


Question: It all started 4 years ago in wrestling practice, i did a front roll and when i came around to stand up on my feet my knee like "bowed" out and i collapsed because my knee felt like it locked up and then i instinctively extended my leg straight out and i felt like a "poping" on the outside of my knee where the pain instantly went away as well as the lockup, stood up went on with business.. It happens everytime i put pressure on my leg in an akward position ever since wrestling accident. I was always able to extend my leg and 'un-pop it' but last night it got locked up and i cant 'pop' it out, it feels as if a ligiment or muscle gets forced over a bone and when i extend my leg it feels like it fixes it self, hurts really bad when locked up unless my knee's at 45 degree angle. right now as i type this i feel like if i got the courage to extend my leg REALLY fast it would un-pop it and i'd be fine just like the 100 times its happened before but it won't 'fix' itself this time, i've tried.

You hyper extended the knee, way back when and rather than giving it time to recover just went full steam ahead continued wrestling.
One of the most difficult concepts to impart to an athlete is Einstein's definition of crazy: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Athletes want to keep doing their sport with the same intensity in the same way. Their method of performance is to do the same thing over and over, and injury is the result. When an athlete visits a doctor, his expectation is that the doctor will create a magical healing so that the athlete can continue to repeat exactly what caused the injury. A great sage once said, "When you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, you'll change."

Knee injuries generally fall into one of two categories:

Traumatic: a sudden injury caused by either exterior impact (such as a football tackle) or an unintended twisting or hyperextension of the knee (such as a skiing fall)
Repetitive: problems such as "runner's knee" (patello- femoral syndrome) or iliotibial band syndrome that are created over time by doing a damaging motion again and again.
In addition, knees may suffer from pathological conditions (those that seem to be genetically predetermined or related to a disease). Some conditions, such as osteoarthritis, may result from a combination of genetics and traumatic or repetitive injury.
The severity of ligament injuries is graded on a scale of one to four:

First-degree sprain is an acute mild trauma. A few ligamentous fibers have been torn, resulting in mild pain but no joint instability.
Second-degree sprain is an acute moderate trauma. A moderate number of ligamentous fibers are torn, resulting in moderate pain, swelling, and disability but little or no joint instability.
Third-degree sprain is an acute and complete tear of the ligament. Swelling and pain may range from minimal to severe. Disability is always severe, and the joint is rendered unstable.
Fourth-degree sprain is a complete rupture between the ligament and the bone. Pain, swelling, and disability are severe, and the joint is rendered unstable.
The immediate symptoms indicating that you have suffered an ACL injury vary according to the degree of injury involved. The most common immediate symptom is a loud pop that you both feel and hear. Next your knee may give way.
You need to see a Doc. GL

Have you had this checked out before?

Obviously something is wrong, I advise seeing a doctor asap, they will be able to give you the best indication about what is wrong..
