    Default knee pain- ever have this happen to you?

    I woke up today, got ready and drove to school, everythign was fine. I got out of my car at school and nearly collapsed. My leg wasn't able to bear weight. As I tried to walk into he building, every tie I tried to put weight on my right leg, my knee had this sharp, shooting pain on the inside part of the knee. It wasn't able to bare weight at all. If I bent my leg there was no pain.
    There was only pain when baring weight. I sat down and had a friend push on my foot, and the same pain happened. I couldn't walk at all....
    I was very concerned because tomorrow's a hospital day and if I can't walk, I can't go but missing isn't an option either or I would be failed, so I was going to go to the er and see if I could get a quick fix just to get through school.

    Then as suddenly as it came on..it stopped happening. The pain went away and I was able to bare weight again. About an hour later, it happened again for a few steps, but then went away again.

    I'm worried it's going to happen at clinical tomorrow..or worse, happen and not go away, causing me to be unable to walk.
    I have no idea what could have cuased this...
    any ideas?

    I've had this happen with my left knee, but it wasn't nearly as extreme as yours. It was very hard to support my weight so I ended up hobbling for like two hours. There was some pain, but no popping sounds or anything. This is pure speculation, but what seemed to bring it on was an intense workout session followed by a 12 hour dancing shift. I might have been favoring one knee over the other. For lack of a medical term, I felt "unbalanced." It resolved on its own after a couple of hours. It never came back, and I made sure to take it easy for a couple of days (no extreme workouts or going nuts at work in 7 inch heels).

    Maybe ask someone at the hospital about it? Hope it doesn't come back.

    This happened to me about 6 weeks ago. I went to the Ortho. Dr. because I've had a history of knee problems. So, we did x-rays and MRIs. I have a bone spur on the top of my knee cap (very small) and tendonitis, as well as an ACL sprain. A patella strap helped TREMENDOUSLY. I like the gelband brand (only avail online) but there are ones at Dicks and other sports stores you could get that might help you through your day tomorrow.
    I'm not who I say I am.

    My guess is that it's a progression of your hip problem. When my sacroiliac joint was out of wack, it made my hip hurt, and after a few months of my hip hurting, my knee started to get shooting pains too. All fixed by the chiropractor in ten minutes.

    ^ agreed. All my knee-leg-hip problems have been helped by my chiro who either fixes it at the office or gives me a couple exercises to target that specific area.

    Lena, it's the same leg as the hip problems so your probaby right, and I know you recommended a chiropractor before, I just haven't had the money to make an appt. Hopefully sometime soon.
