Random Knee Injury?!
Question: Random Knee Injury!?
Today I was during hurdles in track!. I was racing a friend and I jumped over the first hurdle just fine!. Then when I was getting ready to jump over the next one, I felt like my knee suddenly popped out of place or something and I fell down!. Its hard for me to run and put pressure on it!. It hurts under my left knee cap!. Also, during soccer practice later that day, I was limping and couldnt run or put pressure on it!.
Please help me!? (:Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like you dislocated your knee!. It's happened to me plenty of times now!. Generally when this happens the way you fall pops it back in, sometimes so fast you just hear a cabbage tearing sound, feel it hurt, and that's it!.
The good news is you'll probably be fine in a few days!. Until then, do NOT run around or put any extra load on that knee!. Tissues that can normally take the abuse are now bruised, inflamed, and swollen a bit inside!. Leave them in peace and comfort until they heal!. The bad news is, every time this happens the ligaments stretch a little more and it makes your knee that much looser for next time!. Try to avoid putting any sideways pressure on your knee, especially under load!. Don't walk up bleachers sideways, don't pivot while carrying anything!. When going down stairs, point your feet straight and take your time!.
You probably want to see a doctor, have an x-ray taken just in case, and get him to give you a kneebrace that will allow you to keep playing sports with less fear of that lovely cabbage tearing sound!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
