I think I tore something in my knee today.

It hurts so bad right now, and it is starting to swell...

Might want to have a doctor check it out and make sure it's okay.

Gonna wait and see what it does over night. If it goes down its just my knee acting up, if not....

I'll go to the doctor and see if I really fucked my knee up. Right now I'm icing and elevating it.

If I were you I would go and get it checked regardless.

Knee injury is not something to be treated lightly.

What Storm said, don't want to have it get worse in the future either.

What Storm and Bla said.
2 years ago I was dirt biking with friends, and I was riding a 250 and was at the top of 4th gear. So I was goiing about 45 miles per hour. Came around a corner and saw 2 dumbasses from another group just parked in the middle of the path.

I saw them and saw that I had maybe 60 feet to stop. So I killed the engine, hit the back brake, tried to stop. Noticed I was still going to fast so I had to slam on the front brake. So I was probably going 30 to 35 MPH at this point. Whoel bike fishtailed, launching me over the front handle bars. I flew a good 6 or 8 feet through the air and the first thing I landed on was my knee. Bounced several feet then proceeded to slide face down in the dirt 15 feet along the ground and came to a rest between both of em who just sat there on their bikes staring at me.

Not one of them bothered to help me out at all. So I was on the ground the whole time unable to move from the pain shooting through my whole body. I had to wait another 15 seconds or so for the guy in our group who was behind me to catch up and help me up.

My knee was killing me and was in severe pain. But i still rode 3 1/2 more hours thinking the pain would go away. Later that night, my friend accidentally slammed his knee into mine, causing my knee to fill up with liquid and swell up to litterally 4 times its size.

For 3 weeks I couldn't walk without limping. And now 2 years later I can't run more then a short distance without a sharp stinging pain filling my knee. I also can't stand on it for long periods of time, or walk long distances.

So get that shit checked out man, you don't want it to screw you over for the next few years.

Ouch, sorry to hear that Soap

Well I just got back from the Dr. and he said I pulled something. He had it taped for me and sent me on my way.

Luckily the swelling went down last night, and it doesn't hurt nearly as bad right now.

Glad you are recovering well.

That's good Majora. Hopefully that heals up quickly for you.

yeah knee injuries are terrible. I have bad knees (even though I'm only 24) and they hurt when it gets cold or rains

Thats more like lack of vitamins in your system, unless you actually sustained knee injury.

I'm 16 and have bad knees, probably cause I'm growing super fast and im tall lol.
