I was running yesterday and my right knee gave out. The pain is bad on the outside of my knee. What's wrong?

could be your mcl or lcl... ligaments that are on the outside of the knee.. Really should see a doc.

I have the same problem. I went to my doctor and he said that I have bursitis of the knee. I also have tendinitis. I run Cross Country and Track for my high school and I didn't want to stop running so he told me that as long as I'm careful I can keep running. There are special braces I guess you would call them available at Academy. There's also a link on line where you can find them. I also take glucosamine chondroitin which really helps to rebuild joints. I hope this helps you out. Let me know how you feel.

Get a clue, your body is trying to tell you something. You need to see your doctor.\n\nTreatment may include:putting ice packs on the injured area for 20 to 30 minutes every 3 to 4 hours for 2 to 3 days or until the pain goes away, taking anti-inflammatory medications prescribed by your doctor and doing rehabilitation exercises to help you return to your activity.\n\nWhile you are recovering from your injury, you will need to change your activity to one that does not make your condition worse. You may need to swim instead of running.

what kind of pain is it? \nif it's a nagging pain, most likely the bone is bruised.\nsince it hurts when you move, you most likely tore a ligament.\nbut since you were able to manage the pain, I'm sure it's nothing major.\n\ni think it will still be best if you see a doctor. two weeks is a long time for pain and it might need to be seen by a doctor so that it will heal correctly.

You definitely should talk to your coach and unless it's obvious to him/her go and see a doctor - I developed knee pain from playing Volleyball and it turns out I have a common knee condition which am now being treated for; having gone to my doctor and then referred to a sport's injury specialist.  It is obviously worrying you and it's always better to catch injuries/conditions early on so definitely talk to your coach at your next session.

I've had and my knee doctor told me to rest it by not doing running or anything like that since that is what causes it.  You also need to strengthn the knee muscles.  what you should do is buy leg weights and slowly get up to like ten pounds ten reps 3 sets of straight leg raises with foot slightly turned out a bit.  knee braces will help you out a lot my knee doctor told me to get custom made ones and they are worth the money since they fit the knee and help them.  also get shoes with good arch supports since that also tends to be the problem.

You can try cross-training with biking to strengthen your quads and hamstrings.  That might help with your knee issues.  Also make sure that you are wearing good shoes and the right type for your feet.  I tend to get some pain when my shoes are wearing out.\n\nDon't forget RICE for pain--rest, ice, compression, and elevate.

ice 20 mins if its swollen, heat 20 mins for pain.  if your knee is giving out you should have an MRI to make sure nothing is torn.\n\nyes, you will get crutches if you go to the er. even if nothing is wrong. and a full leg brace with velcro straps.

I have worked one many with this type of fracture. You can get back but you will need to work hard. But this type of fracture is part of the joint . Your knee may always be weak and have some pain. I wish you luck

Did you have a knee injury in the past or are you significantly overweight?  Usually when you have "buckling" of the knee that comes on suddenly, or has been going on for a while, it's due to injury in the meniscus or the covering across the knee cap that holds the tendons together.  You can have laproscopic surgery for this and it's very effective.  Look up ACL and it will give you some good information regarding this condition.  \n\nTrying to "strengthen" an area that is torn inside will only cause more damage.  See and orthopedic doc first.  He can also recommend proper strengthening exercises if appropriate.

Go to a doctor immediately.  I had something similar happen to me as a teen.  What I didn't know is I tore a tendon right off the bone.  My other tendons compensated and over the years started snapping off one by one.  Each time I'd be in horrible pain and couldn't walk right for a few weeks.  In my 30's my wife finally got sick of me complaining so she made me go to the doctor.  One MRI later and we found all I had left was one tendon.  The large one in front.  They had to cut me open.  They sliced the strips from the big tendon and reattached them to my knee.  Two months of painful physical therapy later and my leg won't straighten the whole way.\nThe plus side is I don't occasionally fall without warning.\nLet this be a cautionary tale.  Get to a doctor.  Better safe than sorry.

Same thing happen to me it started to swell and caused me alot of pain in my left knee. I did permanent damage to it. I pulled the muscles and did a bunch of damage behind the knee cap. It hasn't been the same now, if I do anything to strenuous it flares up. I have to take vitamins now just for my knee, and yeah it sucks, but its not worth the pain. In other words your joint is stressed out.

if you can walk your knee cap probably isn't broken. a fracture is possible. however, it is more likely that you pulled a tendon, ligament or muscle. or a combination. it is also possible that your knee cap is diplaced. if it is swollen, and causes pain, you should see a doctor. also, taking a normal dose of tylenol, advil, etc. is advisable. it should help the swelling and pain--if it has no effect it probably is something serious enough to need to see a doctor. \nCan you think of any way you may have hurt your knee? such as falling, tripping, jumping or landing in an odd way?\nif you go to the doctor with knee (or any joing) pain, you'll be asked this to help determine what the problem is. you'll also need to tell the doctor how long you've had pain, and when it was that you may have hurt it.\n\ntell your mom, again that it still hurts, and how you may have injured it.\nif the knee pain has only lasted one day, and isn't severe then you should wait to see if it goes away, or worsens.

It's possible that it's more than just jammed - you may have sublexed it and damaged some tendons and/or muscles.  Wouldn't hurt to see a sports trainer at your school or an orthopedic doctor to make sure nothing is serious.  In the meantime, RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) to manage the swelling and the pain.

well first off stop doing things to make it hurt, then u can always get a knee brace and take some pain pills  or just think of something or someone else to keep ur mind off of the pain
