Whats wrong with my knee?
in the morning i fell but i got up and everything was fine. Thirty minutes later, i felt a weird pushing pain of the top of my knee cap. I bent down and it hurt soooo bad. My knee keeps on locking when i bend it. Do you know whats wrong? I am only 15.

Sounds like you may have dislocated it or bruised it pretty good. You need to get to a doctor ASAP so that they can take xrays to make sure its not broke anywhere and get you the proper treatment.
Hope this helps and good luck. Feel better quick!

I feel that this is a bruised knee cap. Apply ice and elavate. take a mild pain reliever such as Tylenol or Motrin.
You may find relief by wrapping with an Ace bandage.
if this does not help you then see your family practice doctor.
Hope this will help you

doodle is right.
u may have torn something,eg a ligament. though u may not feel the pain immediately, the weight of yr body is exerting pressure on that knee n causes the pain. i suggest you put on a wrap on yr knee to give it support n use a walking stick to take off the pressure b4 going to the doctor.

I think you should go to a doctor. It is hard to say what could be wrong with your knee. Only a doctor can help you with that. You may need it xrayed.

make an appointment with your doctor but until then try using a knee support thing that basketball players use. its like 10 bucks at walmart or other places.

Going to a doctor sounds like a good idea.
