Help Me this is serious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
My knee has been hurting me for about three weeks now. I first noticed it when I was playing in a softball game and I slid into second base. The next day it hurt very bad. And every day it has been painful. We tried iceing it and heating it and we treid a knee brace but none of those seem to work. My parents tell me every day oh you'll be fine, or it'll feel beter tommorow but it never does. Do you have any idea what i did to it? what do you think I should do. Finally should I use something to support it. Thanks for your help!
I AM 11
There is tenderness when I prees it and I can't bend it all that far. It hurts when I run and my parents still make me play ball on it.

Tell your parents to lay off a bit. However, you need to stretch the leg. Don't keep it immobile. You would be able to tell if it was broken, obviously, or fractured. Just move it a bit. It's probably nothing serious. But if it gets worse, you should see a physician.


spicygurl69
hi there
lay down and put a cold rag or ice on it and the throbbing should go away


Ashly B

Mags

Talk to your school nurse.

I would refuse to do anything until they take you to the doc. You could be doing mroe damage by not seeking medical attention.

You really need to go see a doctor. You also need to keep off of it until you see your doctor. I am not really sure what you did to it, but you could have twisted it, or sprained, or even cracked it a little. To support it you should just lay in bed and keep off of your knee. Maybe prop it up with a pillow and apply an ice pack to it as needed. So make sure you don't play any more baseball until you go to doctor and it is healed.


John S2005
Stop the sport immediately otherwise you could cause further problems.You should see a doctor and have an x-ray. This will show if there is any damage to the bone. More likely is that there is damage to the soft tissue, cartillage, in the joint. This would show up on an MRI scan. You may have to have an operation but it would normally take about an hour and you may be able to go home the same day.

You definitely need to have a dr. look at your knee. If you have pain and decreased range of motion, it warrants a dr. visit. You need to make sure your parents understand this is not a routine sports bump or bruise. Explain to them how severe the pain is and you don't feel comfortable playing on your knee like this any more. If they don't respond, you need to talk to your coach, tell him all the details: when it started hurting, the ice vs. heat, brace, range of motion, and pain. Maybe he can step in and help advise your parents. Good luck.

Your parents are either cheap or neglectful.

If they won't take you to the doctor, just show up at the emergency room at your local hospital and explain your parents won't take you to the doctor and you're in pain.

They'll follow up with your parents and hopefully DHS.

Good Luck!

It sounds like you might have tore a ligament in your leg. Ask your parents if you can go to the doctor if it is hurting that bad. You will probably need to be x-rayed! Good Luck! =)

Go to the doctor! You may end up making a not so serious injury way worse if you continue to play ball on it! It is very important to get it x-rayed and get some professional medical advise because you can end up having serious problems with your knee! Don't mess around with this, make them understand that you want to go to the doctor.

Just go the the doctor already.

Go to a doctor, if your parents won't take you and tell you to walk it off (no pun intended), then go in yourself. An injury for 3 weeks is certainly worth checking on

you might have misplaced the knee bone or boke a tendent the thing that holds the muscle

i think you have to go to the hospital, so they can check it out


Thisisme
There are many things that could have happened... one possibility is that you overstretched a tendon or something... in any case, you should really rest it as much as possible so that it can heal on its own if you're not going to go in to have it x-rayed and looked at by a dr.


mellykelly
you need to see a doctor if it has gone on this long. kids usually heal quickly. your injury needs professional attention.

Please see a doctor. Any pain that persists more than a few days should be checked by a qualified expert. It could be nothing, or it could be serious. You can't tell until you visit a doctor. Meanwhile, stop running and playing ball until you visit your doctor. You may be making things worse by continuing to exercise your knee.


paulie
first of all what is wrong with your parents...if they don't listen go t another closer family adult, NOW!!! first of all it sounds like you tore your ACL ..YOU HAVE TO GO AND SEE A DOCTOR ASAP--WHICH MEANS NOW TODAY----->> YESTERDAY, anyway mean while you can wrap it with an ace bandage to minimize movement..you also have to stop walking on it , because if not you could be causing more damage which in the long run it will not help you..

First of all, you should not be playing ball with a knee injury--it can cause further injury. Secondly, you need to see a doctor to make sure it's nothing serious. It could be anything from a ligament/tendon problem to a cartilage or joint problem. As far as support goes, it's hard to say without any knowledge of what the injury is. Your doctor will be able to tell you what you need to do. :)

Also, I hope you feel better soon!

You should go to a doctor and get it checked immediately, because you never know if it can turn into something else that could affect your whole life.
I had the same thing in my shoulder. It was some kind of tear, and I couldn't throw when I played softball.

Good luck and get well,
Liz

You need to see a doctor ASAP! Before it gets worse.

This happened to my sister. It turns out she actually knocked her knee cap out of place, like, off to the side of her knee. She had surgery and she feels better now, but you really need to talk to a doctor.


NAQ
tell your parents to take you to a doctor. you probably tore something.


Alex
If you have swelling, you have a problem.
If your parents won't take you to the doctor,
tell your coach!

Three weeks is way too long to go with tenderness,
you must see a doctor.

Failure to tend to a childs well being is child abuse in most states. Your folks, for whatever reason, (maybe not having money) have denied you appropriate medical care.

You need to see a doctor right away. Your parents should be more concerned.

Your parents are making a mistake. I wouldn't be too surprised to learn that something got torn in your knee. You should see a doctor about it, especially one that knows sports-related injuries.


Peach
I'd call an immediate care center and explain your symptoms to them and ask their opinion. Perhaps that would persuade your parents into taking you to the doctor. I do not think this is something to take lightly, especially if heat and cold did not work!
