strange knee pain?

Question

on wednesday a slightly hurt my knee at my dancing class. I jumped and it must have twisted strangely, it hurts on the right side of my left knee. inside slightly. It was fine to bend it but when i put too much weight on it or ran it hurt. Yesterday, friday, i had tennis and i had to run and it became extremelly painful and very hard to walk, this lasted about ten minutes and then it was totaly fine. I now only have the very mildest discomfort. Did this burst of pain help in some way? what was wrong with me? will it come back? THANKYOU

Answer 1

It sounds as though you may have strained a ligament. You need to take it easy for about a week, keep your leg elevated, and take aspirin for discomfort. ( aspirin works best on that type of an injury because it is an anti-inflammatory and an analgesic). You can put ice on the knee for 20 minutes at a time 3 x a day for the first 48 hours, then use heat instead of ice.

Answer 2

Although rare in young adult women, there is a condition known as chondromalacia, or Patellofemoral syndrome; Anterior knee pain. Chondromalacia patella that occurs in adolescents and young adults is thought to be related to overuse, trauma, and/or abnormal forces on the knee. It is more common in females. Many affected adolescents have a mildly abnormal alignment of the kneecap. Chondromalacia patella may also reflect arthritis of the kneecap, which is usually seen in older individuals. People who have previously had a dislocation, a fracture, or other trauma to the kneecap may be more likely to get chondromalacia. Symptoms..... Knee tenderness Knee pain in the front of the knee that worsens after sitting for prolonged time Knee pain that worsens with using stairs or getting out of a chair A grating or grinding sensation when the knee is extended. Signs and tests The doctor will perform a physical examination. The knee may be tender and mildly swollen, and the kneecap may not be perfectly lined up with the femur (thigh bone) underneath. When the knee is extended from the flexed (bent) position, a grinding sensation may be felt below the kneecap. With the knee extended (straight), pressing the kneecap against the femur may be painful. X-rays are usually normal, although a special x-ray view of the kneecap may show arthritic changes. Treatment Temporarily resting the knee and taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin may help relieve pain. Physical therapy, especially quadriceps strengthening and hamstring stretching, may be helpful. Participation in sports or strenuous activity should be limited until the pain has gone away. Activities that increase the knee pain, such as deep knee bends, should be avoided until the pain improves. If the alignment of the patella that cannot be corrected with therapy, surgery may be an option. Depending on the nature of the misalignment, the surgery may be arthroscopic (using a camera, which allows a smaller incision) or open. Check with your doctor, & let him know about your symptoms--3 yr ongoing treatment & 1 surgery for me. Good Luck.
