Go see your Doctor!  You could prevent a very painful knee replacement when you are older.

If you recently injured it is likely in an inflamed stated i.e. red, hot, swollen, and painful.  So the best way to handle that for the next few days is RICE (rest ice compression elevation) \nrest- take it easy respect pain and don’t do any thing that hurts it you can make it worse, but you should still be active because too little activity can cause your muscles to atrophy and cause more problems besides your knee will like the blood flow just be smart and slow\nIce - get an ice pack and use it for about 5-15/hour minutes whenever the pain goes away and you have a little bit of a numbing effect ice is a natural anti-inflammatory.\nCompression maybe an ace bandage around the knee NOT VERY TIGHT! You can wrap it while you ice to help limit swelling\nElevation when you ice or are just kicking back elevate your knee but that only works when you get the knee higher than your heart, elevating will help with swelling as well

I don't do heavy squats-but I do squats & lunges every day.  I have experienced the same type of discomfort before.  I think it was a severe sprain/strain.  Give it some time to heal.  Ice, ICE, ICE as much as possible.  After a few days try the squats w/ less weight than usual. If pain occurs-back off again for a while.  Mine took a few weeks to resolve.  \nGood luck.

i had knee pain to and i went to the physical therapist and they gave me a workout.  I went home that night, thru out the work out after 2 reps and bought a knee brace, a thin one just to keep the muscles warm, which i wore for a year and a half and i haven't had any pain since.  That was 4 years ago.  This is good for dull, stretched feeling pain, sharp pain is something that the trainers probably could help you out with.\nPS i only knew the work out was crap cause the workout they had given me for my shoulders the year before had gotten better by just working through it when i could and not using it while still getting the best workout when i couldn't.

It is normal.  The back and forth motion, added to the starting and stopping, ends up working muscles that your body is not used to exercising.  Also, playing on a hard surface isn't the best for the calves & shins.  The more often you play, the less your calves should hurt.

The problem with knee replacements is that they tend to develop complications such as loosening or infection earlier than total hip replacements. Do you have pain even at rest? If you do chances are, your knees are infected. If they hurt only when you move, then probably they are loose(bone, implant, and bone cement failed to bond securely). In case you have one or both problems, you may need surgery again if all other treatments fail. Good luck!

I think what cause that could of been to much pressure on the knee and it cause to dislocate I suffer from the same thing when mine first did that I couldn't move my leg either I screamed so hard and my whole leg got swollen and bruised and got rushed to hospital.....now it goes by to its position now when it does dislocate........\n\nI would try and not put too much pressure on it and be easy when it comes to running or turning round to quickly I think that can also trigger it off.\n\nI hope this helps cause I can feel your pain since this happened to me not in Drama class but in my home at the top of the stairs!

yes, that sounds like the right thing to do. ice on and off 20 minute intervals, elevate, stay off it for a while, u know- all that stuff. if the problem persists, consult a physician.\nit doesnt sound like u really did anything significantly damaging to ur knee from ur description, like i doubt u tore anything, because u experienced no pain right away. it sounds like it may be a bone bruise around ur patella, or something along those lines.\nu probably should see a doctor if it keeps hurting, or just to be on the safe side, yknow? but i wouldnt be too worried, it doesnt sound terrible

you should practice everyday, and if you "push" yourself then you will get faster. Remember: pain is weakness leaving the body. Also if you keep running when your sports are ended it will help you keep all the strength you've built up.

ANything that causes pain especially to the joints is a bad sign of course.  could be arthritis. it could be inflamed due to a lot of reasons,like trauma to your knee.

Good sneakers and a well cushioned treadmill will reduce the impact on your knees.  Using the incline should be fine--it's usually the downhill running that is harder on your knees.  Obviously, stop running or walking if you experience any pain.  Consult a sports doctor if your pain is preventing you from running or walking.

I would start a physical therapy regimen.  However you may need to see an orthopedist to make sure you aren't injuried seriously.  you could have tendinitis or arthiritis if you have been playing for a long time.  If your tendons and bones are okay however you should be doing excersies in the gym to strengthen the area and working the area in question.  Make sure you are stretching before your activity and icing after you play.  I would buy ankle wraps so that you don't have to tape them up everytime.  Look into sports therapy and sports medicine websites, there you can get a list of excersises that will help your cause.  \n\nGood Luck!

it is inevitable, ive had three surguries on 1 knee and 1 on the other, injuries happen every day and always will wether playing sports or not. but it does help to have a better surface a little.

It sounds like you bruised or even partially tore your medial collateral ligament and/or the medial meniscus.  Try this: sit down and plant your left foot firmly in front of you, then move your knee to the right and see if it hurts.  If so then that is what happened and you should go easy on it for a week.  If it is still tender after that you should see a physical therapist to help in recovery.

I have very bad knees, I've already had surgery on one of them for degenerating cartilage. I'm only 20. Before the surgery, I tried physical therapy. In there I found some good stretches, but the most important thing was the discovery that I can use the stationary bike with minimal or no pain. If you decide to do this, keep it at a lower resistance. If it hurts, reduce the resistance. I usually bike on level 2 or so, although bikes differ.
