f/14
im a dancer and latly when i do a high kick with my right leg i get this very painful feeling in my right knee
its in the back of the knee and its hurts really bad, kinda like something is being yanked out of the back of my knee
but the thing is that i get injured a lot since i dance so sometimes my parents will tell me its nothing and i just need to wrap it
so i would like some heads up to what it may be before i even go to them
thank!

just seem to get worse instead of better.
Wrapping may help temporarily, but if you
have a serious injury, it won't help for
long.
I suggest a doctor specializing in dance
or sports injuries. When you go, and this
may encourage the parents, See what info
you can get for PREVENTING injuries in
the future.
Knee injuries have stopped many careers
early. I don't know how serious you are
about dancing, but your knees are important!
So see a doctor as soon as possible. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

The sooner you go and find out what's wrong, the sooner it can be fixed. [ LagunaBabe's advice column | Ask LagunaBabe A Question ]
