Whats wrong with my knee?!


Question: Whats wrong with my knee!?
i was playing lacrosse the thursday before last (the 10th i think) and was running onto the field and kind of twisted/popped my left knee!. it wasnt swollen or anything but it hurt!. ive been walking and running on it since then but it hurts too much to even run now!. it hasnt swelled up which is strange!.
i cant bend it all the way straight without it hurting and when i lean to the left (you know the warmup stretches before a lax game) it hurts like a mofo and it doesnt seem to pop back into place, as with previous injuries!. its like theres resistance when i bend my knee!. the pain is right below my kneecap and feels like something is being pulled or crunched!.
i got one of those straps that goes below your knee (the box said it was for runner's knee) and it hasnt helped at all!. nor has ice!.
does anyone have any idea what this could be!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
The knee is the most unstable joint in the body!. So its easy to hurt!.you could have torn your menisicus, your ACL or any other things in your knee!. I highly recommend going to see an othropedic, getting a MRI, and having them take a look at it!. If there is something seriously wrong with it and you play on it, it could damage it even more!. I also suggest taking a break from LAX and take some antiinflamartories (Advil), and ice it!. even though you might think that the ice isnt helping it will keep the swelling down, ease the pain, (it will make it numb) and maybe get some crutches!. Hope this helpsWww@Answer-Health@Com

I have the exact same problem :O!. My doctor told me it was most likely a torn meniscus, that was in October 2007!. The problem still hasn't been resolved, and I know exactly what the pain is like!. I suggest you go to a doctor!. But do not go to Hotel Dieu in Kingston if you live there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
