For a while now, I've had this nagging knee problem. I'm a wrestler, and the problem with my knee irks me greatly. I'll be running or something and it gives out and I end up falling. I dont want to go to doctors, because then my parents'll worry endlessly about it. When I have matches, it seems like when I wear a support wrap on it, my knee seems more stable. I'm just really lost as to what to do with it. I dont want doctors and their "surgery fixes everything" blab. Thanks in advance. :)

Augh, your such a stinker for not wanting to go to the doctor's about this problem. It could get really serious. A long time ago, my dad got into a motorcycle accident and he broke every bone is his body ((or so he says c.c)) But anywho, he hurt his knee really bad and thought that he didn't need to go get it examined. His kneecap slipped out of his socket and healed the wrong way so now he has very bad pains from time to time. I really really really think that you should at least get an x-ray to see if it's as serious as that. Even if you didn't break it, you might of dislocated it. In the majority of cases the source of knee pain is from behind/under the kneecap (patell IN OTHEa). This joint is vulnerable in anyone doing activities as strenuous as yours because of the stress placed on the joint in the various positions you all do. The joint shape that relies on specific muscle activity. Dislocation of the knee cap is often caused by sports injuries or overstrenuous exercise. For example, a sudden change of direction when running, a sharp blow (such as a kick) or a fall may all dislocate the kneecap. Dude, after the first blow/dislocation it will most likley happen on a regular basis. Even though dislocations may cause less severe pain and swelling, they may cause chronic pain over a long period. In other words, GET YOUR ASS CHECKED OUT BEFORE I BEAT YOU UP, MAN!
Self-care action plan
To reduce the risk of knee injuries during sports activities:
* exercise regularly to stay in shape,
* stretch and warm up before starting the activity,
* wear kneepads or other suitable protection,
* stick to the proper technique for the activity,
* wear properly cushioned sports footwear,
* train on appropriate surfaces.
If you suspect that you may have dislocated your knee or torn a meniscus do not try forcefully to straighten out or bend your leg.
Place the knee in a comfortable position and give it support. It helps if you lie down and support the knee in a raised position.
Put an ice pack on the knee to relieve pain and prevent swelling. Painkillers or anti-inflammatory medication such as aspirin or ibuprofen may also help.
See a doctor as soon as possible if you think you have dislocated your kneecap or torn a meniscus. You should also seek medical advice for pain or swelling sustained after a knee injury during exercise, sport or an accident.
