Is my knee fucked?

[Uzik]

So I was sparring yesterday when I got a solid kick to the side of my knee while I was posting for a kick.

I felt the knee pop out, bend over as I fell, and then pop back in once I hit the ground.

At the time, it didn't feel bad other then when it actually popped out. However, it is now extremely sore and getting a bit swollen.


Anyone have something similar happen? Think I need to see a doctor, or will it be ok?

[Reikson]

knee + popping = doctor

unless it is just normal creaks

Ice it, and keep it under pressure. If the swelling doesn't go down in a few days, see a doctor. You might have split or cracked something down there.

[Aragoni]

Depends on the price to see a doctor. :)

[Spikey]

Yeah I hurt my knee when my Mom was beating me up as well man.

[Mordhak]

Nevermind about the doctor, call an undertaker.

[Lethn]

If your walking fine it could be that it just got dislocated then popped in again, it can happen at any time due to an awkwardly angled knock, may want to get it checked out just in case though.

[Wulf]

Friend of mine had the same thing.
I'd suggest to go see a doctor man, one thats specialized in sports injuries.
My friend went to the hospital the same day it happened and the docter there told him to just rest and watch what happens after a week. The next day I drove him to this sport injury doctor specialist miss (sp? word?) and she figured he got his muscleband? ripped. Not that super bad. You're just fucked if it is your meniscus, if thats the case then you'll most likely have to get under the knife. Better go check it out man.

[Drunkenork]

I have had that happen before as well, but I was playing football when it happened. As for any joint injury, but especially the knee go to a doctor right away. I ended up tearing some cartilige and if I hadn't of taken care of it at that second I would have needed a knee cartilage replacement.

[Lysandor]

Don't delay, get your lay.


Oh...wait, yeah get it checked out.

[Drunkenork]

Ya your knee isn't something you want to take a chance on.

[Lioness]

Why would you NOT see a doctor...?

Worse case-scenario is that you spend money and find out there's nothing wrong with it...

But at list you get assured that nothing is wrong...

Hey I had a similiar injury. If it is getting swollen you need to go to the doctor, that means fluid is building under the kneecap. If you don't get it drained then your knee will lose flexibility and be very uncomfortable. Go to the doc and get it checked out ASAP.

physio...not doctor. doctors are fuckin useless when it comes to muscular damage, unless your getting a referal.

where on you knee was the contact? the outside in?

if it did pop out there is a chance your damaged/strained your MCL, or worse a knee popping out is not typically a good thing. you may have potentially strained your PCL or ACL defending upon the direction of impact upon the knee. you will be some swelling but not a huge amount.

with an MCL tear you will still be able to somwhat walk and you might feel not to bad just unstable but dont push it, go and see someone.
Because when u move in the wrong way, and you will its going to hurt a fk load more and your going to further damage your kneee and your PCL/ACL as theres reduced support.

thats if it really did pop. but you may have gotten lucky but if theres swelling there may be something wrong. is the swelling at the other side of the knee? around the kneecap itself or at the site of impact? it may just be from bruising/microtrauma but regardless get it checked out.

in other words if you have the money = physio now.
if not = doctor to get a referal.

[Chaosborn]

If your kneecap popped out (and in again) you should see a doctor anyway. And you shouldn't ice it as far as i know. Blunt injuries like bruises and and similar should be iced just the 10 minutes after it happened. After that you should leave it a while and than start warming it (not by moving, but by applying a heat source) to innervate blood circulation and fastening the healing process. And probably most important: Rest! Do not stress any injured joint / muscle whatever.

[Mippoose]

Uzik will prolly never look at this thread again, you have all been fooled by his trickery!

MY mommy had pretty much the same injury a few years ago, her knee barely works now. its totally fucked.

[Marelt]

You think your in shit dude, I'm 14 and just as I was rising to the top of the atlantic tennis ladder in Canada I got chondromalacia and have been out of competitive tennis for 2 years. This is my fucking year this year though tell you that much.

[Jacen Solo]

Your dying. :ohno:

[Madrandomize]

Get a doctor and fast or you might be sorry later.

[Temet nosce]

Go see an orthopedist. Seriously, I made the mistake of trusting the ER about a similar issue not being worth bothering with once. I've regretted it ever since (the kind of regret that requires regular painkillers).

Wait, that's the good kind of regret if you takem with a beer!

[Xtra-Medium]

hyperextended knee is no good, you will have to stay off it for a good while, doctor will prolly give you a knee brace type cast, thats what they gave a kid i know who tore his ACL

[Temet nosce]

Wait, that's the good kind of regret if you takem with a beer!

That's for fun, not when you have to take them regularly. (That said I do have some good memories of times I was injured. However I've learned to be careful about that because if you stay in that state long enough it'll make you ill usually.)

Ummm yes, a guy from my work has something happen to him like this but it was with this foot. he didn't have any pain but after a few days past he wasn't able to walk on it. didn't think he needed to visit the doctor untill his girlfriend made him go. He soon foundout his foot was crack and need to have a cast. the doctor also said he didn't even know how he got this far without going to the doctor due to the reasons of it being broke and the LARGE fking bump on the side of his foot.

So my advice to you... VIST THE FKING DOCTOR DAMMIT!!!! haha

p.s. I'm a doctor I want your money

[Carl Ragadamn]

I am pretty sure that since Uzik has not been back since the OP it means he either went to the doctor, or he died in a botched home amputation.

[Drunkenork]

lol botched home amputation.

[Bodu]

Is my knee fucked?

Yes

[GRCPan]

Well go to a doctor to be sure, you have nothing to lose.

Jesus Christ man go to the goddamned doctor.

Wow two blasphemies in one sentence!

Oh my God, I left my house, told my mother to fuck off, took her 50 carat diamond, then killed 20 people while worshipping Satan in the form of an idol to whom I bowed frequently, and having sex with 3 women out of wedlock including my neighbor's wife whom I had eyed for years. I did all of this on the Sabbath, and then claimed that my neighbor did it in court.

All 10 commandments violated in two sentences.

[Rhambo]

:lmao:

[ClownFoot]

No man, don't do it! Don't go to the doctor, trust me. They are all cannibals and he will put you under then eat your fucking soul.

[Uzik]

Hmm, I gues I'll go to the doctor.

I wasn't taking it terribly seriously because after icing it for a few minutes, I was able to go one more round and felt pretty well. Last night I went out and felt pretty good as well.

However, this morning it was extremely stiff, and hurts a decent amount when walking. It also gets extremely wobbly if I straighten my leg completely. But I rested and iced it for awhile and it started feeling better again.

Ultimately I figure I will just try to see the muscle/joint doctor tomorrow, but I'm not too worried at this point.

[-Havoc-]

Knee injuries are most definitely nothing to mess around with. That injury sounds serious, go to the doctor. The pain will linger around for months, maybe even become permanent, or resurface later on in life if your don't get it seen by a professional.

After reading what you wrote here, I wouldnt be to worried. My guess is everything will turn out fine, but do any exercises they give you, to tighten things back up.

This is pretty much what happened with my first knee injury. It seemed to be ok after a while and then around 3-4 days later I put some pressure on it and it suddenly shattered and turn the kneecap around my knee. Seriously, see an orthopedist as soon as you can and don't put any pressure on it till then.

its going to heal by itself since it popped back into the joint, but if you go to a doctor he might give you drugs if you tell him youre in pain.

[Aranin]

its going to heal by itself since it popped back into the joint, but if you go to a doctor he might give you drugs if you tell him youre in pain.

if he has ligament/tendom damage it doesnt just heal itself.

the tissue is non-regenerative meaning it will require surgery if its a bad tear.
if your getting alot of swelling it could just be a large hemotoma caused by the impact. thing is this can result in microtrauma in the tendon which in itself is ok, but if you continue to strain this joint that trauma can turn into a tear which is usually an opperable injury.

[5%Luck]

Sounds like tendinitis. Though the tendons are large in the knee and the thought of moving them is painful unless you keep it active its going to lock up permanent! At least thats what happened to my thumb and doc said make sure to keep it moving. The tendons are over stretched and fibrous. They will latch on to one anther for support and Heal Bound. Meaning no good for your walking much less running or kicking! tendinitis sets in in about 4-12 hours a dull throb while stationary and alot of pain when moved.

GL!

[Bremen]

Nevermind about the doctor, call an undertaker.

this made me lawl IRL, thank you!

[5%Luck]

A tear would mean that he woulda been unable to continue directly after and that wasnt what he posted ! My brother had a 'small: tear on his shoulder(collar bone to overshoulder muscle)tendon and he did nothing. It took a few weeks but hes ok with a little less movement permanently.

He always hurting himself on his job(own company). It sux that he dont take his time with everything to do it safe! Hes also got permanent damage to his achilles area. More on the bone/cartilage where its attached then the tendon itself. I call him limpy!

[surGeonFFS]

Yo, you want to be that 60 y.o drunk smelly dude with a limp?

That's what I thought, go get it checked out man. It's bad enough being drunk and smelly, you don't need the limp.

[5%Luck]

No man, don't do it! Don't go to the doctor, trust me. They are all cannibals and he will put you under then eat your fucking soul.

I had a dentist keep poklin my tooth hard till he said Oh My we need to drill. And to this day I still think i didnt have a cavity. These guys need to make a living some how. JMO

[Bloody blade]

I would see a doctor so you don't fuck up your knee more than it already is.

[Jezrith]

Ice it, and keep it under pressure. If the swelling doesn't go down in a few days, see a doctor. You might have split or cracked something down there.

What he said. Your knee popping out probably didn't cause any permanent damage (I've had it happen a couple of times). But if its not healing really well after 2-3 days, its doctor time.

Holy shit thats funny.

Go to a doc...I jacked up my knee in HS and never got it looked at...it still hurts and when I had a doc look at it a few months ago he said he would cut me if I wanted it looked at but most likely had scar tissue inside...so yeah get it checked...

I've had the same thing happen twice in my life time. Never went to a doctor, never had any problem with it. Shit, I thought you Scandinavians were supposed to be tough. That public health care must be turning you guys into some sissies or something. ;)

[holychicken]

I had a friend who tore his ACL in the same exact situation you are describing. He was able to rollerblade home after the injury, he said he felt no pain and then got up the next morning with a swollen knee.

I would suggest getting in to see a doctor soon.

[Uzik]

Saw the doctor and have to get a knee brace and an MRI.

It might be the ACL or MCL, but he said the X-Rays looked good. I have a lot of water behind my knee though, and it is beginning to feel mad weird.

He didn't mention anything about needing to drain it, so I guess I will see if that gets better.

how much is this costing you just out of intrest?

[Darkest Fears]

wait til obama gets in office, so you get free healthcare! =D hah.

game on!

[tallefred]

You should definitely get it checked out. I broke my leg last year, but I could still walk on it so I didn't get it checked out for 3 weeks. When I finally did get it checked it was fucked up pretty bad. It didn't heal right either, it's very inflexible and if I walk on it for long it starts hurting. The doctor also said I will probably develop arthritis in it at some point. It wouldn't have been a big deal if I had just gotten it checked out right when it happened.

EDIT: I didn't read the thread, glad you got it looked at after all.

[Uzik]

how much is this costing you just out of intrest?

Knee brace is like $313, but then I hit my deductible and only pay 10%.

I would guess another $200-300 for the MRI and doctor visits

martial arts is dangerous.

i personally would know instantly if i "needed" a medico. basically, if you were able to get up and walk away, your fine. be sore as shit an all, you'll heal. take it easy on your knee, and do some home brewed psyical rehab before you try doing that shit again.

also, my own, "crazy stupid" advice is listen to the chinese medicine man in your town. he'll probably prescribe some lu rong "soft velvet elk antler" good for revitalizing all joints knees included.
