Question Posted Wednesday September 28 2005, 4:11 pm
16 and Male, if that makes any difference.
OK. On Sunday, I played DDR. I normally don't, but I decided to. I strectched an everything before doing it. I, being so inept at DDR, selected a pre-made program of songs. Little did I know that these songs were not all Light songs.
Anyways, those 12 songs took me 22 minutes. Then, I tried getting out of the area, but I accidentally selected a 4 song program, which had me dancing anoth 10. so, 32 minutes.
I rested, re-stretched, and then just decided to play around in the light mode with a few songs. In total, I did about 8 more songs, yet that took me 28 minutes. So, an hour of DDR.
Naturally, I was sore after. But, I went to sleep that night, and woke up the next day feeling fine. Then, at Band, we added in a move where we had to squat partially down with our knees. Well, I learned then that I somehow had lost 150 degrees of mobility between the morning and then. I couldn't bend my knees below 150 degrees while standing up and my feet are together. I used to get all the way down. Apart, I could, but not without a lot of effort. And when sitting, I can get around 30 degrees.
Then, yesterday, this mobility stayed the same, if not got worse. I had a lot of difficulty walking with the limited range, but made it. And it's the same today.
However, my knee does not hurt at all. My calf is the only thing in pain. Yet, it's somehow limiting knee mobility.
What could have happened? Is it just a strain, or something worse? I have had tendinitis, FYI, but it doesn't hurt like then. I'm not looking for a diagnosis or advise on what to do, I know that, just a guess on what is wrong with me. I've heard that ligiment tears don't hurt if it's just the ligament. Could it be that?
Thanks for your help! I do rate for the first few answers I like.

You should really rest your knee. You probably hurt it while stomping on the front arrow. Give it a day or two, and if to no avail, you should definately go see a doctor. There is a possibility you could have seriously hurt something. But for now, keep it wrapped in an Ace bandage and rest it. [ xXxpinky615xXx's advice column | Ask xXxpinky615xXx A Question ]
