My knee isn't like that now, but I am pretty sure THAT is why my knee cap is messed up now. I did a 360 over a spine on my skates and managed to get something jammed in my wheel. I went straight down and landed REALLY hard on my knee.

Answer 1

there are alot of things that could be happening- from bone chip, to bruised bone, to tear, or possible fracture. It is best to get it looked at by a doc. A quick xray and exam, and you'll know whats going on. Knees can be a little tricky, and you really count on them to get you through a day, so best not to continue to hurt with it. See when you can get into the office and get it looked at by your family doc, or stop by the ERoom if it gets too painful and get it checked out.

There is a lot you can do for joints, knees and otherwise...but first you need to know definitely what the problem is. Go to the hospital or your primary care doctor, get looked at and fins out what is wrong. Then, we can talk about what to do. For now, if it is swollen you can put some Chammomile essential oil on it and rest/ice it. I am at windstarhealing.com if you have any questions.

It possibly is basically chewed up somewhat properly and springs out the different end, as with maximum creatures. definitely nevertheless, canine bodies arent geared up to absolutely destroy down bones, so giving them bones they might chew up and swallow isnt a sturdy determination. I watched my domestic dog (approximately one 3 hundred and sixty 5 days) chew up a hen bone and freaked out, to declare the least. I wasnt conscious she became doing it until it became too late, i didnt are conscious of it became a hen bone. so a techniques as i understand, they cant completely destroy down the bone all the way.
