KneeInjuryQuestion


Sent to Health Experts July 21, 2006 12:41 a.m.

Hello, it's been a week since i had a knee injury, I waited it for it to heal. I used the RICE method and it's been healing everyday, but then from the day before yesterday to today, it has stopped healing, and my knee is still hurting but much less thatn when i first injured it. My question is, what kind of knee injury is it?

This is how I got the knee injury, I went to the park with my cousin, and he wanted to try and do frontflips, I did not stretch or warm up at all,so on my first flip, i landed on my butt. On my second attempt, As i went for the jump, my knee made a loud cracking/popping sound. so i bailed out of the flip and my knee was in pain. This pain was because of my jump not because of the flip. I was wondering what was wrong
I felt the connection between my tendon and my shin was hurting, and thats where the pop came from, that area. Im pretty sure it is still intact, but now, that area has swelled up. So, what injury do you think it is?

Thanks!
