about two weeks ago i was at winter guard practice and we were doing turns and leaps across the floor.. so next we had to leap and turn at the same time. well when i landed the leap i think i landed on it wrong.. the pain wasn't sudden; in fact after we did that we sat down to take a break and about 5 minutes later i got this sharp pain in my knee and i couldn't walk on it or bend it or even put any weight on it for about 30 minutes.. then i could walk on it but not bend it at all.. so i went home and toke some medicine and iced it for an hour... i was fine for the rest of the day if i didn't put any weight on it... the next day i couldn't even move my knee without it hurting, so i didn't do that much that day... i have continued to take medicine and ice it everyday but it still continues to hurt as a sharp pain like someone just stabbed you in the knee. i have a knee brace and i wear it on the days that im going to be doing a lot of walking, but if im not going to walk a lot then i try not to wear it and try and bend it, but it still hurts to bend it. i am concerned to see if something serious has happened or if i just need to give it time or see a doctor.
