what did i hurt

[kat]

i was squated down using a shop vac,when i turned my upper body my right knee popped,went back in place quickly.it was sore for a few days and slightly swollen but seemed to heel.this was about a year ago.all pain was at the inner knee.since then once in awile when i would squat deep it would pop again,getting worse everytime.last two times was real bad and had a hard time walking for a few days and sore for 2 months.three weeks ago popped it in the gym streching and could hardly get it to go back in,so painful almost puked,still sore and i know if i bend my knee deep it will happen again.no swelling at all but hurts all the time,all pain is in the inside of knee...........any suggestions? thanks Kat

it sounds like you have the same problem as me, when you sat "popped out" do you mean dislocated? because me knee used to do that all the time till the point where you could just poke it and it would come out, but what it probly is, the first time you did it, you stretched a ligament or tendan, and made it weaker, therefore the next time it happened, it popped easier and everytime it happens, your tendans and ligament become so loose your knee isnt being held in tight enough, you should go to a doctor about it, and hopfully they will refer you to a physio which should help alot and strengthen your knee up again =]


i hope iv help you and not scared you =S
