Knee
16/m Alright. Today in Gym, we were playing soccer. However, we tend to play tackle soccer. So, I was going for the ball, and ended up falling on my knees. My right knee has severe tendinitis, FYI. Well, I went hard and my knees went to a squatting mode, you know, lower legs on ground, upper legs on feet? I felt a pop, and got up a few seconds later. My friend was there when it happened, and was like "Steven, are you alright? It seemed like you got burned" (AKA, slid on the floor). I said I felt a pop, but I'l lbe fine, and stood up. My other female friend heard that and was like "Stay out a bit, that can be really bad." Well, it was pity attention.
Well, I didn't think it was that bad, as tearing something is hard for a male. However, it felt really unstable that class and ever since. And I'm looking now, and it seems a bit swollen. Yet, there's no additional pain from this, just the tendinitis type.
What is it? What did I do? And what should I do until I can get to the doctor? I'm really scared.

Maybe give some free advice about: Injuries?
go to the doctor...put like a knee brace or tape or a bandage that raps around your knee on it.
before you do this...sit on a chair and elevate ur foot on a chairstool slightly higher. put LOTS LOTS of ice on it too, to cut down the swelling. keep the ice on for 30-60 minutes. dont run on it or anything because like your friend said, that can be really bad.
(i know this stuff becuz i sprained my ankle real bad...the ice part i know is right but the rest would just be better!)
Hope i helped!

Ouch. I have tendonitis in my right knee also, and that sucks. I feel your pain. Literally.
You should probably take it easy, don't play sports hard, don't do anything exerting that you don't have to do. IE - don't go play touch football if your knee is swolen, etc.
When I was first diagnosed with tendonitis in my knee, the doctor said to put heat on it in the morning and ice it in the evening. It gets old - real fast - but when it hurts, it does help a little.
Try to put heat on your knee in the mornings and stretch, and ice it right before bed to cool it down. Ice it ASAP to make the swelling go down and take a few Ibuprofen or Advil.
If the pain / swelling / instability continues, take the next step : Go to the doctor!
You probably irritated your tendons (which are already riddled with tendonitis...) which is what caused the swelling. However, you might've pulled something or even torn it slightly.
So basically a good battle plan would be :
- Ice it down
- Heat it up
- Take it easy
- See a doctor
Feel better soon, man. :)

okay i suggest icing your knee. icing is boring and annoying but the odd thing is it helps! and tackle soccer? are they trying to kill you? lol but i think that if icing dies not work tell your mom/dad family member and go to the doctors and get a x-ray or something.
i hope i helped

wow i have major knee problems, & i never got em checked out, so it pops all the time. you couldn've actually cracked your kneecap, cus thats what i did & mine bruised up & started swelling. don't be scared about it. they can fix it easily, but i can't really tell what it is since i'm not a doctor er anything. since you do have tendinitis then that's probably why it's a problem, like if you didn't have it, it wouldn't be as bad. but tackle soccer huh! wow! for now, juss ice it. i know, icing it is really annoying, but it'll keep the swelling down so when you go to the doctor, he can give you an xray & it won't be difficult, because swelling gets in the way of the xray. here's a website that might help-
