I played football last year and a guy landed on my knee. i got up fine but when i ran of the field my knee hurt like crazy. i rested it for a month and it felt good but when i straightened my knee out it hurt again. the only way i can describe it is it fells like my knee is bending backwards but when i see it it isnt even straight. Plz help i need expert advice. Oh and ive been to the doctors and he doesnt know wat it is he just tells me to rest it!

Check your weight to see if you haven't gain any pounds. Then check a doctor.

Ignore anyone who isn't medically qualified and GET YOURSELF TO AN ORTHOPEADIC SPECIALIST! Sport injuries can be serious, difficult ro treat and take a long time to heal without the proper treatment.
Do not try to carry on regardless. If you break your knee completely you are in a wheelchair or up for a replacement that will only last 10 years,

your knee is held together by 4 ligaments...medial (inside) collateral ligament, lateral (outside) collateral ligament and the cruciate ligaments (between the upper and lower leg bones) it is surrounded at the joint by a capsule and supported by muscle tendons. These are the structures that are pain sensitive. One or more has been injured. If your doc doesn't know how to tell which one...go to an orthopedic surgeon now before the structures permanently weaken

try to get a referral to knee specialist, i played football too and our trainer would say the same thing then when they see a real doctor or specialist they find out they have a knee sprain. acl, mcl, pcl, and meniscus tears are very common in football and require rest, rehab and many times surgery to get back to normal. try to get another opinion especially if it continues to hurt after a couple weeks of rest and ice.

he might have damaed the muscle when he landed on it and that is what has given you your sore knee
ive sprained my neck and ive got to wait for that to heal try change the way you sitting and rest your knee

I personally think its a shin splint. I had them before. It hurts to walk and to straighten your knee. If you want to be more sure check out this link and go into sympton checker on webmd http://webmd.com

See an orthopedic surgeon. Not a general surgeon but an orthopedic one.

That's odd.
Try talking to a different doctor and see what he says!

Probably you dislocated your ankle or pulled a muscle
