I like jogging a lot. Everytime I have been running 5-10 kilometres, my knee seems to be filled with water and swallows up a little.
What is that? Should I really continue running twice a week? Is it "dangerous" for my knee?

Take it easy for a while. Wear a knee band thing and run less distance and run slower. And most of all see your doctor

If you really do have a fluid build up in your knee get to your doctor. It most likely will need to be drained. This is something that can be done in the doctors office. It doesn't hurt. It's just a prick you feel. But trust me once the liquid is drained your knee will feel much better.
Now if its not fluid build up and instead you are tearing your cartilage or tendon while you are running it might be tissue build up. They can also remove the tissue build up with a minor procedure.
Trust me if you have a build up on your knee - don't wait to see the doctor. This build can lead to serious knee issues in the future. Go see your doctor please.
Oh yeah - stop all exercising until you get your knee examined.

Use a Stairmaster while it recovers. Lower impact on the knee, no use aggravating the injury. Use Rest, Ice, and Compression, and Raise it up on a pillow when you rest, take Tylenol for swelling.

Or get shoes like the vibram 5 hands. it's going to enable your foot lots better selection of action, strengthening the ankle and lesser used foot muscular tissues. usual shoes and your militia boots lock your ft/ankles right into a particular selection of action, and the muscular tissues that are no longer committed to easily forward action atrophe. muscular tissues that ought to different smart splendid stumbling and correction on uneven surfaces, this is the biggest reason for ankle injuries. Grass and comfortable airborne dirt and airborne dirt and mud are terrific to stroll on via fact they have the main provide, concrete is worst, asphalt very almost as undesirable.

The first time you notice pain in your knees is the signal for you to get new running shoes. I run marathons and understand the pain. Stop running until you can get new shoes...and keep popping the Advil.
Keep it up.
