i have knee pain and wondering if anyone can give opionated diagnosis out of my detail?
hey well me and my friend was kickboxing and as i lifted my left leg up to kick and put all my weight on my right leg it popped out of place and hurt real bad it swelled up pretty bad but was ok the nxt day although sore,,,,then it happened the next day,,,,now it hasnt happened for about a week but i cant stand on my knee for long without it starting to hurt (not seriously just like an annoying pain) im going to try and get an xray but does anyone know what that sounds like????? like a bone density thing or somthing

1. Sounds more like a cartilage issue. Definitely need to see the doctor. See if you can also get a cat scan on the area or at least and ultrasound.2. If your knee popped and you felt immediate pain and swelling, you have more than likely had an Collateral ligament tear. I can't tell which one it would be based upon your description, but the ACL is the most common one. It could also be a menicus tear. You need to go to your doctor and have them perform an MRI on it. An X-ray will not be able to pick up anything related to soft tissue. So unless you fractured it, an x-ray is not very good for this situation. If it is fractured, the MRI will pick it up also.
Good Luck with this.
