Oh man i really messed my knee up today I don't even know how i did it. One minute i was making the bed and the next minute i was on the floor screaming in pain. Now every time i move my leg a certain way, pain shoots through my knee. This really sucks.

Ouch! Did you cut yourself? Is it bleeding? Did you hear any strange sounds like a pop? Did you twist it? Is it swelling or look bruised? If it really hurts & you don't have a cut on it, try using an ice pack wrapped up in a small towel. Alternate 10 mins on & 5 mins off. See if that makes it feel better.

No ther's not cut, bruise or swelling and i din't hear anything pop. It just kinda went from ok to extreme pain. I can't even straighten it or the pain shoots through my knee. It's really stating to P!$$ me off. I'm going to really be in for it after I fall asleep. I move around so much and I just know that eventually during my slumber ima straighten my leg out and BOOM I'll be awake for an hour in pain and I have no type of pain reliever:(

Try the ice pack & see if that helps with the pain. You might have inadvertantly twisted it. Easy enough to do if you were making the bed.

Try to sleep with your leg elevated. (I know, easier said than done, but try!)
Here's a kiss for your boo-boo from Mama Garnet.

Ouch! Hope you feel better soon. It could be bursitis...it can seem to come out of nowhere and hurts sooooo bad--I've had it! See a doc if it doesn't get better soon.

Well wishes,
~Tenders~

you also might've caught the tendon somehow. I get a similar thing in my fingers sometimes- it seems fine until you go to straighten it. Then it hurts like the dickens! Could be tendons, arthritis, I'm not DR. It's probably a good idea to see one, though.

*hugs* best of luck!!

How's your knee today?

OUCH!!! I certainly can relate to knee injuries, since I've injured both. DEFINTELY go to the Dr. No matter what. Sounds like you could've popped it or pulled a tendon like SS said. I've popped both knees. This cold weather we're having here in NY is driving me nuts right now. I even have to wear my knee brace when I go to the local mall.

Hope you feel better soon.

I think I might go to see a dr so I can get something that will keep my knee immoble at night. It took me three hours to get to sleep last night bc everytime I moved it hurt. it's to the point where it hurts even when i'm sitting or lying still.

you should make an appointment. If it hasnt been over 48 hours
you can go to the emergency room and insurance should still
cover it. Otherwise make an emergency appointment! Leg
injuries should be treated quickly less they worsen from use!

Honey.I feel your pain!! I am the most accedent prone person in the whole world!! I've probably broken, sprained, cut or bruised every accessible part of my body at least once!! :lol:

Like one time I was playing spotlight with my friends and as I was coming out of the woods gloating over my victory I tripped over the curb and pulled a tendon in my leg! I had a cast on for about 3 weeks. Man did it ever suck!! :lol: :(
