Answer #1

yeah I think you should because if you wait it might get worse and you might need knee surgery like I did! good luck!

Answer #2

It doesn’t sounds broken but you might have pulled or tore a muscle but if it just happened out of nowhere and you didn’t fall on it for it to be doing this then I’m sure there’s nothing too wrong with it I would wait a couple days and if it’s still bothering you go to the doctor. you don’t want to keep dealing with it if it’s bothering and hurting you I did that and now I’m in physical therapy for it.

Answer #3

Yeah, I don’t think its broken. You can still walk. But if its a sprain it’ll hurt like hell. you told me earlier, glad you went to the doctors! LOL I had a sprain from my knee down to my ankle and my lord it hurt really bad!!! Hope you feel better! =(

Answer #4

If you broke your knee you would know. BUT you could have torn your miniscus (spell check) which is a\the material between your knee cap and your muscle on the bone. That happened to me and my knee was swollen and I had a hard time walking. Sometimes you need surgery, luckily in my case I didnt have to, but if thats what happened and you need surgery its really minor it takes like 30 min and no over night stay at the hospitol. Really simple! But Hope your okay

Answer #5
