Whats wrong with my knee?!

Whats wrong with my knee?

Will I get a cast?

I sprained my knee kind of bad a few months ago.It popped and I could barely move it. I could hear and feel it pop and I could barely move it after. I also couldn't straiten it out completley without severe pain, I also couldn't move it to the side without severe pain. I didn't go to the doctor but I probably should have because thats what my health textbook said. I'm also 14 years old and the entire day at school I was walking on my tiptoes and limping around. I probably should have used crutches but I didn't. The thing is, now occasionally I will be moving my knee and It will pop, than it will go back but I will limp after that because of the pain than it will stop hurting. I had sprained my wrist and I was trying to be careful when I got on the bleachers and I turned and my knee popped and it hurt extremely bad

It hurt so bad that I almost cried and I couldn't talk for a minute because I was in so much pain. Should I be going to the doctor and will they have me stay off of it so that it will heal correctly, like will I be on crutches and have a brace, long or short leg cast, or will they do nothing. I think that the reason it is popping is because it never really healed correctly. I hurt it because when I was getting into my bed I twisted suddenly and my knee just popped

Its not hurt right now I just don't know why it occasionally pops and than goes away

You most likely won't get a cast if anything they will brace it and possibly have you stay off of it depending on what you had done to it. You should see a doctor asap. You could have disloacted your knee, torn a tendon, ligamant, or some cartilage, or you could have some other type of problem with your knee. The doctor will probably order x-rays, and do some other things with your knee (like have you lay down, and pull on it (to see if the ligaments/tendons are attachted) and some other tests), and possibly an MRI. I would see your doctor, and in the mean time you can try ibprofen, ice, and rest. I know how bad knee injuries can be- I had one in 7th grade, and I ended up having surgery on it, and I ended up with some really rare neurlogical complecations, and now that I'm 14, I'm still dealing with it. If you would like you could e-mail me...I know how hard it is with injuries like this. Good luck!
