    Default my knee is so messed up...plz help

    my left knee feels so weird. it doesnt look that swollen but i have brusies on it and it feels tight. when i try to put my leg out straight it feels worse, the only time it feels normal is when i bend it. i have no idea whats up but i have been dancing for three months now and the newbie bruises were gone a while ago i am concerned that i may have permanently messed it up.

    Sounds like you "hyper extended" it, basically, you pulled some tendons/ligaments. You probably did it doing a pole trick or a lapdance and walking around in those stripper shoes probably made it worse. Just ice, ice, ice it and take it easy on for a while. You might even want to go to the sporting good store and get one of those braces for support. Don't worry, it'll feel better very soon but unless you have to work, try not to take anything for the pain like advil because the it'll slow down the healing process.

    I'm curious about not taking Advil. Can you explain? I thought it was an anti-flammatory which takes the swelling down.

    It does take the swelling down and although it will take the pain away in the short term it will delay the healing process in the long term so if you can do without painkillers then its best not to take them as you'll heal faster.

    Umm if advil slows it down then why am I told by my doctors to take it for my knee problems? Seeing as its an anti inflammatory and she has influmation of the muscles/tendons I would say its rather needed.

    Also epsom salt baths, alternate between heat and ice regularly.

    I have serious knee issues and this is what seems to be working for me to control it until I bite the bullet for surgery.

    You may have a subluxation of the patella. It is when your knee cap is bumped out of place, then returns to a resting position that is slightly off of its original position. Fluid and blood (blood causes visible bruising) rush to the site to try and help the healing process. I have studied this injury a bit in school, and it is a very common injury among dancers. Really, you should go to the doctor, and avoid risking more serious injury to your knee. I have personally had this injury, and it takes a bit of time to heal.

    Yea I was thinking about this and you really should go to the doctor.

    I ignored mine at the beginning because I just figured it was something minor and would go away.

    3(almost 4) months later I have a serious fluid build up that is blood on my knee, i've had it drained and it comes right back. Its painful and hurts and damnit it sucks.

    Go to the doctor before it gets bad and do tell them what you do because the fact that you wander around in heels for hours a night and getting up and down on your knees makes a difference.
