Question:
Something in the back of my knee popped?
I was loading something into the back of the car, my leg was straight and when I stepped back can down in a small hole. My leg felt like it wanted to bent back instead of forward. I felt something pop behind my knee cap. It felt wierd, but not painful. It still feels funky, but no pain. It also feels like I need to be careful or it could become painful. Any ideas what this might be. I hate to run down to the doctor and spend money on xrays etc.. for something minor.
Answers:
Sounds like a torn ligament, go to doctor if it swells.
Put an ace bandage around the knee or a stretchie sock.
U may want to put an ice pack on it.
Put a magnet (flat kind) on it. Use neg. side against the skin
Take Motrin and rub above and below knee caps.
To strengthen the knee , lift weights on ankles..
