my knee really hurts from track...please help i'm 13.?!


Question: My knee really hurts from track...please help i'm 13.?
so for the past 3 months my right knee has been hurting a lot on and off. i went to the trainer today and she just gave me ice and wrapped it, which didnt help cause i cant ice it when i run?! and i wore a brace but that doesnt hurt. it brings me down like 50 seconds in my events which is bad. if i went to the doctor what do you think they would say? to stop track? because i stopped for 2 months and then i went back and it starting hurting again. would they give me a better brace with crutches? or tell me to STOP?!?! I cant do that. track is my life... :(

Answers:

track won,t be your life if you don,t get a good diagnosis from an orthopedic surgeon. something is damaged. your coach is only interested in you being competitive. knees are complex. they can and will fail at inappropriate times if not treated properly. my left knee did that. i had a torn meniscus. i was on crutches for three months before i could get surgery for tissue removal. avoid the surprise of permanent knee pain. see that orthopedic surgeon.



im 13 too and track is my life to ive got a 4 min mile and a 9 sec 100, im good, so u dont have to quit, just dont train to hard and go to the doctor becuase if u take a break u will b able to run after, of u keep doing this, it will get worse and eventually never stop, then u wll have to quit.



See a proper physio. You probably have some bad muscle in there. You need to see one so they can put it right. Just stopping athletics won't work as it doesn't fix it, just prevents it from hurting. You need specific exercises.
