got kicked in the knee and now i have a knee injury? treatment?i was kick boxing and i was facing my coach in like a mini match, nothing serious, but i got kicked right on the side of my knee cap (and i have a bad knee, i injured it 3 years ago and it gives out once in a while) and i immediately felt extreme pain, i heard a popping and it swelled up. well now its been two days and i thought it might go away but its only gotten worse, it hurts to walk, go down stairs etc. ive been icing/elevating it and its not quite kicking in yet. im wondering if i should wear a brace on it? my dad suggested that but i wasnt sure. i also have to do a lab at school tomorrow where you run up and down stairs...yet i think if i run up the stairs my knee may pop again, should i tell the teacher i cant do it?
i would do the running and not wear a brace but i also have a dance competition coming up and i need to be in good shape for it, so should i wear the brace and sit out?

Go to the doctor. Stay away from anything that can possibly injure you any further according to what the doctor has told you.

You have had previous injuries and now you get kicked in the knee.You need to see a orthopedist right away.They need to check for further damage to your knee,do not do any running up and down stairs or dancing until your doctor says you can.He will advise you on wearing your brace after evaluating your injury..
