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, I've heard of situations like that...The bruises are from that dang knee cap sliding. It's moving around, causing bruises that start from the inside and work their way out. I don't think that normally bruises start from the inside out unless you have a problem like yours, though.

Could be a cyst or a tear in the muscle. Probably a good idea to see an orthopedic doctor.

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.

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

It seems like you're getting a build up of air in your joints in your knee. It's probably no big deal but if it starts giving you trouble then I'd say go to a doc.

Yes, but there can be many causes for a stiff knee.  I tore my ACL in high school, and the day after I did it my knee was very swollen, extremely painful, and difficult to bend.  Sprains, strains, frayed meniscis, broken patella, or tears in any of the knee ligaments will cause swelling and lead to stiffness.  If it is painful and feels serious, see your doctor.

Because you are putting weight on your knees, which affects from there down

Depending on how bad your shin splints are, the pain can extend into your knee.  But if you feel tenderness in your knee area, it isn't caused by the splints.  Also, if you twisted your knee or hyper extended it, it is a separate injury.

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.

you might have water on the knee, the pressur from the water could keep you from fully extending and bending your leg and the knee joint!

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.

this could be tendonitis in one of the three major ligaments in you knee that could be affected. you can try a knee brace to keep your knee cap in place properly that should alleviate some of the pain. or a knee strap which serves the same purpose and just wraps around just under the knee cap. it could be that your knee cap is sliding out of place too. try this website: http://www.kneepaininfo.com/kneepatellardislocation.html\nif problem persists see your doc or a physitherapist for a better medical opinion.

I think probably when you hit the knee it caused a blood clot to form under the skin which is common in bruising,and that swelled into 2 pea size lumps.Try taking some extra vitamin C,and if the swelling doesnt go down within a few days you can have it evaluated by a physcician.

There are many causes of this.  You might have muscle imbalances where some muscles are tight or some muscles are weak.  There could be problems at other joints in your legs, including at your feet or at your hips, that cause problems in your one knee.  You might have a leg length difference, either due to actual bone size or due to muscular problems, that make your legs function differently causing pain in only one knee.

I'm a doctor, but not an orthopedist.  You should probably see an orthopedic specialist.  You could have any number of problems, from a strain/sprain to arthritis to torn ligaments.  Many knee problems can be treated with medication, special exercises or a brace, but some require injections or surgery.\n\nYou need to have a good exam by a doc to know for sure.  A week is long enough for a mild injury to start feeling better.\n\nGood luck.
