Knee Problem! HELP

hcgal Posts: 1 Joined: 2009/01/22	2009/01/22, 10:51 PM I am a sohpomore and have done basketball since I was little. This year I started having an ongoing knee problem. At first it would hurt for a couple days then feel better. But at our game the other night I must have really twisted it wrong or landed on it funny...It swelled and I felt a little burning that night. Its a tight feeling. When I sit down and get up, its hard to walk because I have to stretch it. I cant fully bend my knees to the ground because it wont bend all the way. The past couple night I've slept with it propped on a pillow and this morning I woke up and it had fallen off so it was straightened. Lets just say I couldnt bend it for a couple minutes...I've iced it every night and I took the day of practice off after the game. Tonight I decided to practice again and it felt fine until I barely tripped over a girls foot and it feels like it did before! Anyone know what the problem could be? The main pain is on the inside of my knee and its tight all around. Feel free to ask questions if I left anything out. THANKS!
