Answers:
If you parents refuse medical intervention, depending on your age, go to the school nurse, or just go to a walk-in clinic yourself!.!.hopefully a referral to a sports injury clinic will occur!. The fact that you are still playing soccer, means that it is probably not severe, but you may have torn a ligament or tendon, and need rest!.!.not more soccer!.!.you could take an anti-inflammatory like advil or ibprofen, buy a knee brace, and apply hot and cold compresses, elevating your knee above the level of the heart!.!.asscess whether movement increases or decreases the pain, i!.e!. bending it, walking up steps, full weight bearing on the bad knee!.!.BUT it is essential to get a proper dr!.'s diagnosis, before doing any of this, because you are reinjuring it over and over, and you may not be playing soccer again, if it goes too far! i know you soccer fans(my whole family)!.!.you just play no matter what!.!.but so much damage could happen in the mean time!.!.i mean what if playing means surgery, and then you will be off it a long time!.!.your dr!. may refer you to physio, to strengthen other parts of your knee, but i am surprised you can play at all!.!.is it swollen, is it a constant pain, is the pain sharp, dull(like a toothache), does it radiate to other areas!? Are your parents aware your still playing soccer!?!.!.even if it was 'overuse 'repitive strain injury', it could develop into something far more serious!.!.please, forget the web, get to a dr!., or school nurse, walk-in clinic, or just sit down with your parents and discuss your fears, and that you have even gone to complete strangers on the web(who may be scaring you to death!)!.!.to get help!.!.or threaten to tell a social worker if you must! !.!.they love you, they want what's best for you,and you probably have a history of this type of thing, so they are slow to react!.!.!.and you may be hiding how painful it is, so you can go to soccer practice!.!. but they are making an assumption, and it's gone on way too long!. i suspect you hide this from them so you can play!.!.please don't make the damage, inflamation, tear(tendonitis or pulling a ligament) worse!.!.!.you may need a cat scan to really see the damage, but just a good physical, by a dr!., concentrating on the knee, your range of movement, what makes it worse/better will give a lot of info!.!.treatment, answers and solutioins!Www@Answer-Health@Com
You need to explain to your parents the extent of the pain!. Being in pain for several weeks is usually an indication that you have injured something!. Pain is your bodies way of telling you something is wrong!. There are too many nerves, muscles and ligaments in your knees to pass this off as overuse!. You need to consult a physicianWww@Answer-Health@Com
