My left knee - Sunday, November 20, 2005 9:21 PM
On the weekend, I was wrestling with a friend, and my head was between his legs (accident only, i assure you :D) And I pulled him down, but so i wouldn't break my neck, I put all the weight on my left knee and I heard about 3 cracks or rips, not sure. Now my knee isn't swolen, but I it is very sensitive.
 
Any way to get over this?

I would get it checked out.  The knee is very complex and what might not feel like a big deal could very well be.  The R.I.C.E solution might be best.  Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation.

I was always told that if u cant see the pain theres nothing wrong with it. I thought that would be wrong. IN football i urt my knee and it turned out to be nothing when it was swollen a lot.

Woah.. no way.. There's a chance that you actually didn't hurt anything, but I have a torn meniscus in my knee and you can't see it because it's a piece of cartilidge inside behind the knee cap and I never would have known if I didn't get an MRI. My knee was never swollen, I would just get discomfort in it.

Mirrors don't measure progress, they just show how much more there is left to do.
