What should i do about my knee?!

What should i do about my knee?

i fell while skateboarding yesterday, basically i was coming down the transition on the ramp and my front foot came off the board, i rolled my ankle, then i fell down onto my right knee and bent it as far back as it could go, it's 2 days later and i can limp around pretty well, i've had many ankle injuries but no knee ones, it just feels as though my tendons around the knee and back of knee are really sore. if i can still walk (sort of) and bend my knee do i still need to see a doctor? or will rest and ice suffice?

thanks

There is no easy answer to this one. Rest and ice COULD suffice but it may not. If there is nothing drastically wrong with your knee. There could be serious problems that only an xray would reveal. If a tendon was partially ripped or a bone cracked, would would be able to walk and limp for quite some time. After a while the while the swelling would go down and you can walk normally, but you would be left with a weakened tendon or bone.

So while I can't say either way without a diagnosis I an tell you this. You'd be better off getting it checked than ignoring it. After all, you wouldn't want an injury to ruin your chance of of ever skateboarding?
