Can someone tell me why my knee hurts!
Question: Can someone tell me why my knee hurts
A couple months ago while i was playing softball a girl collided with me!. When she did her leg caught on mine and it made my knee bend a funny way!. I had intense pain for about two minutes but then it subsided!. I got up and played the rest of the game!. It still hurt and I walked with a limp for just that one night!. It has been sore since then on a few occasions!. Today, I had to stand up for almost 4 hours straight!. During and afterwords my knee wasn't in intense pain but it still hurt a good bit!. It still is sore as I speak!. I am wondering if I should've seeked medical attention!. I am only 15 and I don't want this to hurt me in the long run if i continue to play sports at a higher level or even at the high school level!. Please someone that is trained to answer this question tell me if you think I should schedule an appointment with a doctor!. Thank you in advance!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Please see a doctor right away!. You may have a torn meniscus - which is repairable via an easy arthroscopy surgery!. This kind of tear will not repair itself but will only get worse with time!. You'll feel better soon if you just see an orthopedic surgeon for an evaluation!.
I walked around with a meniscus tear for 2 months thinking it just a strain/sprain and that it would just go away!. It continued to get worse and I finally saw a doctor!. With surgery (they removed 30% of the meniscus), I was back on my feet in 3 days and back to almost normal activity in a week!. I wish I had seen the doctor sooner!Www@Answer-Health@Com

When I was playing softball last year i hurt my knee really bad!. it hurt for a couple of months!. I went to the doctor and found out I had osgood schlatters!. It is a knee thing!. Some times if its serious you have to have surgery!. You should go to the doctor!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Only a doctor can tell you for sure, but you may have torn a tendon, or dislodged something!. You should invest in a knee brace, and see a doctor asap!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
i've had 2 knee surgeries, meniscus reconstructions and acl repair!. wanna know why!? cause i injured my left knee playing soccer and didn't do anything about it while it was still a minor issue!. turns out it only got worst in the long run for not wanting to see a doctor!. if i was to do it all over again, i'd see a doctor before my knee got that bad!. if i was you, i'd see a doctor to erase any doubts off your mind and if it's something that you detect early you can treat it before it gives you any more complications!.
