My knee looks like this ( )

[kristo]

I was attempting a btwist into a mat last night, and I landed weird on my left knee. It started swelling pretty fast, but I kept going (probably shouldn't have). In any case, it didn't really hurt. It was just big. If I press on it, I can feel it, but otherwise it doesn't feel bad at all. It's still swollen though.

I iced it last night a few times after the gym, and I've been doing it occasionally today, along with loads of ibuprofen...any other suggestions? Since it doesn't really hurt to move it, I'm thinking it's not serious, but if you have any tips or words of advice, I'm all ears.

go check a doctor dude :S

Wait until the swelling subsides perhaps.

Wait until the swelling subsides perhaps.

Yeah, that's what I figured. I'v eheard you should wait 48 hrs to make sure it subsides, which I plan on doing, but my concern was how fast it swelled, and the fact that it doesn't really hurt. It's very curious.

Also, I can't really kneel - putting pressure on the swelled part of it is nacht so gut.

Hey guys I broke my arm, what should I do???

[CanEHdian]

you should go out in your sand box and play with you hotwheels untill the pain subsides.



on a serious note, a friend of mine has broken his ankle on multipul occassions and it swelled up like a grapefruit, basicly it was just on ice for a couple of days untill it went down, but id go see a doctor mainly as a precautionary measuse, chances are its just sprained or something (im not a doctor i dont know im just guessing) but might as well give them something else to write in their file.
So yeah, visit the doctor, give you something to do for an afternoon if nothing else.

Was he in pain though? Kristo is saying that he's not.

[CanEHdian]

Well he broke his ankle so he was in pain, however the swelling was not painful just the breaking itself. It seems prety simmilar other then the broken bone so i figured id put my 2 cents in.

Well yer, logically a broken ankle is going to hurt like a effer but my point was that Kristo said the only thing he is feeling is the actual swelling and not anything else. So a doctor is maybe not needed before the swelling subsides.
