Nagging knee pain

So I tweaked my knee a little about ummm....three weeks ago? I was warming up fr HIIT and I just felt a pain on the inner side out of nowhere. I stopped, called it a day, went home and iced it. I've been trying to take it easy because it's really minor, but it's just not going away and I'm getting sick of not being able to work out legs or do cardio.

My dancer instinct is to push through, but I told myself to give it time and not make things worse. I've never hurt my knees before - I've just had bad knees, tendonitis, etc - so I don't know how to go about this. Can I work out somewhat moderately without making it worse? Other recommendations?
 
And on an unrelated note, where did that 20,000K come from? :confused:

edit- nevermind...I bet it came because of my automated plat payment...

That would be an awesome idea if I had access to a lap pool. My condo building has a rooftop, but access is usually closed off by the time I get home at night.

Good suggestion.

My husband has one very bad knee from old injuries yet he can swim with no trouble, whereas even walking on a treadmill will cause it to swell.

Me, I have developed issues with one of my knees (from all the years of heavy lifting) and swimming is the only activity that does NOT aggrevate it.
 
Walk it off!
 
I would recommend motrin (if you can and don't have some condition,etc...), ice, elevate and rest. As much as you can... I also think you should take it easy for atleast 2 weeks, and then come back slow. This way you don't end up starting back at square one or worse. Listen to your body... It's better 2 weeks, than 2 months or 2 years.

Sigh. I think my problem is I came back 100%, and about a week too soon. It had almost been feeling entirely better till I went to a club a week ago, and then did HIIT the following tuesday. I probably undid whatever healing had happened in the first two weeks between those two things. I got a flexible knee brace yesterday that I've been wearing today and I feel no discomfort, but that's probably deceptive. I imagine the braces are better for prevention than having any actual theraputic value.

I wouldn't say I got injured. But my knee was hurting again by the end of the night and worse the next day. You try dancing in four inch heels and tell me how YOUR knees feel the next day lol.
 
The only "dancer instincts" I know are to get money from me, get knocked up, or to ditch me for some dude with drugs.

Hush you. I've danced through more pain than you could imagine back when I was doing it seriously. You get hurt, you dance. Your feet are bleeding, you dance. I had tendonitis for four years because I wouldn't take a day off to let my knees recover. I danced on pointe with a broken toe. Ignoring pain and pushing through it.

Fuck thats hardcore. Reminds me of back in my rave days...I blew out my arches from too much dancing, but with enough ecstasy in my system I was able to keep on going through till the morning lol

No, they are good for both if properly fitted. You need to let your body heal. Don't let it give you a false sense of security, you can do more harm than good.

I've done the same type of thing, and I of all people should have known better. But, I didn't want to be left behind.

We were doing training 2 months before deploying to the middle east. The 2nd month I fractured my right foot in a spot where I could still walk etc..., of course I limped alot. At the end of the month we had a physical fitness assessment. Reach stretch, push ups, curl ups and 1.5 mile run, I didn't want to be left behind so I did it. Well, 1.5 miles later 13:20 mins:sec later not my best time by far. I passed with a Good High score, and my foot killing me starting from the .5 mile mark. I thought I was going to pass out from the pain, we deployed, and my foot didn't heal 100% for another 2 1/2 weeks.
Luckly, all I had to do for the first 2 1/2 weeks was do a turn over from the guy I was taking over from.

I was lucky I didn't do further injury to myself, and that had sense enough to take it easy for an additional week to the 2 1/2 weeks. I could have been a liability to my guys.

I hear you...dancing on my broken toe was pure stupidity. At worst there would have been a slight delay in the show between numbers while another girl got ready to substitute for me. But I had two numbers left and I was sure I could get through it because I'm retarded and stubborn. I finished the show with a smile on my face but I was SWEATING from the pain and nearly passed out as soon as we'd done our bows. I need to distance myself from that mentality because I may only be 26, but after years of abuse I just don't bounce back as quickly as I used to, and like you said - two weeks is better than two months.
 
have you bee to a doc? is it puffy or visibly aggravated in any way? if you haven't seen a doc, why not make an appointment and get an mri to see what's going on in there?
 
Lets talk about my knee pains, or I can just show you a picture...

There's no visible signs of what's going on underneath so I really want to avoid the doctor visit if possible...it's minor right now...I just need to make sure it stays that way.
 
I have a bad knee from wrestling back in HS. I live everyday with it. I can still do high impact but will feel it later on that day. I suck it up. Try things like bengay to help the pain, go light on squats, swim for cardio, and just rest to see if your knee gets better. Hopefully, it's not as bad as me.
 
I would seriously consider what I said about taking motrin (if you can and don't have some condition,etc...), ice, elevate and rest. As much as you can... I also think you should take it easy for atleast 2 weeks, and then come back slow. I provide medical care for the guys in my unit, and foot, hand, and knee injuries are common with them. I see it all the time...

The leg/knee brace is good to use while you are moving around but, remove it when you don't need it. Give it a chance to heal...

And yes if it feels serious, or you get concerned about it definitly seek medical care thru a Dr.
 
i jacked up my knee about 5 weeks ago. The first night i thought i could sleep it off, but in the morning i could hardly walk so i went to the ER. xrays showed nothing, but xrays are worthless for mcl stuff so they gave me some pain pills and said go see a ortho in a week. I havent gone yet, most of the stuff i have read says surgery are rare and you just have to take it easy, si im giving that a shot for a couple more weeks

if it doesn't subside soon and/or you notice stiffness and/or decreased range of motion, get it checked out ASAP. . .if you have an articular cartilage problem, the sooner you address it, the more likely it is that current methods (e.g., microfracture surgery) can help. . .

Absolutely!!! If you have any the above going on definitely seek medical attention.
