Answers:
If you twisted your knee oddly recently or landed on it strangely I'd suggest getting it checked out!. Same if you've been practicing for more than 20 hours a week for a while!. Mainly to check on your ligaments!. In the meantime, you should stretch it well (try stretches that work on the hamstring and calves) and strengthen your quad (to protect your knee cap) and your hamstring (to protect the acl)!. I really wouldn't worry too much but if it's affecting your play (either mentally or physically) go find a physical trainer or a doctor and have them look at it!. Hope it gets better!Www@Answer-Health@Com
