Last year I hyper-extended my knee whenever I fell while skating. It wasn't too bad, but it sure hurt for about a week and a half, and I didn't have 100% motion. Then about one month later I fell on it again, this time my leg bent, my butt landed on my foot while my knee took the impact to the ground. Hurt like hell for another couple of days. As of late I've been riding my bicycle regularly, I haven't experienced any problems until I started to jog at the nearest track. I've only done 1 mile each time and it was only twice. But now my knee is like it was a year ago. It's ok to move with normal motion, but when I twist my leg it puts a lot of pressure on the outer side. If kneel all the way down it puts a lot of pressure between the femur and tibia. I've scheduled an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon, but it isn't for another two weeks. If the ACL or MCL is damaged, even from last year..... well, I;m freaking out here. Am I ever going to be able to run again?

I had a bad hyper extension about 8 mo. ago too. Wearing a good knee brace really seems to help. Keeps the swelling down and gives you a little more support, especially when running. I haven't had to wear mine for a couple of months now, I think it has finally healed. Running will cause more agravation due to the impact involved at the knee joint, and like you when mine was hurt the bike didn't seem to bother it at all.
Still probably a good idea to have it checked out anyway.
Good Luck!
Here is the brace I used... standed Ace neoprene brace with the reinforcements in the side. You can get them anywhere.

Keep the appointment with the orthopedic surgeon. Wear the brace the other person suggested and be careful until you get the doctor's answer. If you have even a partial tear of the ACL, there is a stability issue. The outer side of the knee is the lateral side, the inner portion is the medial side. The MCL is on the medial side. There are other areas that could be injured, such as patella tendon, lateral ligaments as well as the meniscus. An MRI and possible arthroscopic surgery to repair the damage. Physical Therapy will follow this. Good Luck

First of all, it is a very unhappy tale and I am so sorry that this occurred to you...and to deficient nugget! :( There are a few terrible men and women on this global, and it consistently kills me within while they're horsey men and women too... DO NOT return for your historical barn! That lady is a ton of matters however something she isn't is a real buddy! and her mother is some distance from a legitimate! You particularly must now not provide them your small business and also you particularly do not want men and women like that on your lifestyles! You must provide a brand new barn and new trainer a hazard and also you must certainly check out your buddy's barn in view that on the very least you recognize there might be a pleasant face there! half-hour is nice, and as any person mentioned, you'll take one more lesson per week which might honestly be bigger in view that it'll provide you a while among classes to soak up what you discovered and positioned it into train earlier than your frame forgets it, on your moment lesson! You too can bear in mind leasing a horse once more which might support you to get settled in and revel in your new barn faster! :) As to your new trainer, recollect that every one teachers have extraordinary patterns of educating, which may also be fairly tough and formidable to get used to, however on the finish of the day, she is simply looking to support you and upgrade your driving potential. You might suppose like she is criticizing you, however she is simplest looking to encourage you to upgrade and do bigger! Give her a hazard and if you happen to particularly dont like her kind of educating, check out your buddy's barn out. (You will also have classes in combination or have a automobile pool to the barn) I realize it is particularly tough to lose a buddy and a horse you're keen on, however be powerful and grasp in there! Don't permit a few dull mendacity lady and her blinded mom maintain you from doing whatever you're keen on, RIDING! Everything occurs for a purpose, and although you will be unhappy and simplest see the dangerous on this predicament, simply you should be constructive and recognize that whatever bigger will come alongside one day! (who is aware of, perhaps any person at your new barn might be inspired with the way in which you journey and now not have sufficient time for his or her horse and ask you to undertaking him freed from cost!) Just grasp in there, be powerful and the whole thing might be very well! Hope this is helping! Good success and the entire pleasant!

your knee does need to be examined. the reason it didn't hurt while riding was because there's no impact on your joint. riding would be good therapy for your legs and your aerobic conditioning. but the caution would be to have your knees examined. cycling brings another factor into the equation - if your pedals and legs are adjusted to bike, you will open yourself up to another set of problems .
- best bet, have your knees examined.
