Knee pain.?I was walking and I felt a popping in my knee. I had some pain but could walk on it. The next couple days the pain isn't as bad but it is not getting better. No history of trauma never had any pain or problems with my knees before. I bend my knees a lot at work but there was no warning sign. I wasn't twisting or bending when it happened. Any exercises anyone know that might help? Any idea what it sounds like?
No swelling already doing ice and rest is out of the question as I walk 10hrs a day for my job. Plan to rest over the weekend but would like some foreknowledge of what to discuss with dr. and have some idea of treatment possibilities.

If its tendinitis you should relax on you exercises.Usually that helps a lot 4 pains any where.

It sound like you probly over extended it, sometimes just stretching your leggs in the AM will cause this.I agree you should take it as easy as posibul for a few days. You might even try some advil for the slight pain.That may even help you relax it for a few days. Oh and I almost forgot. those warming patches work so so well.I would just get a cheep pack of them and wear them on and off for a few days.Hope it getts to felling better soon!

I always answer people' knee questions on here as I just had my 13th surgery so I am a seasoned knee injury veteran. And I will tell you what I tell everyone else. See an orthopedic (bone and joint) doctor. He/she will discuss your symptoms with you and take xrays and an mri scan. The xrays will probably show nothing, but the mri will give you your answers. The knee is a very complicated joint with 4 main ligaments and tons of cartilage including the meniscus. People on yahoo answers will give you their best guess and say "I had the same thing!" but you will never know without getting images of your knee taken. I am very knowledgeable on the subject, but I wouldn't begin to tell you what is going on without looking at images of your knee. So please, see a doctor and get it checked out....the earlier the better....you do not want to be like me and have 13 surgeries and huge scars...trust me. Good luck to you.
