OMG My knee's FUCKED.. PLEASE HELP

[Xalthus]

After snowboarding, I did heavy ass squats and since then (2 weeks?) my knees been really jacked up. I can barely move my sheets with my leg(example i noticed), The sheets feel like they are heavy and there is a great PAIN right at the bottom of my knee cap where my Ligament connects my knee cap to my shin.. WTF is wrong with it?

Could've I tore part of it off, or just bruised it.. When I'm just chillin it dont hurt, just when i try to extend my shin.. please help.

go to the doctor

Yep, go to the doctor. Don't mess with your knees bro. I don't pretend to know what happened to you but it could take forever to heal, not heal correctly or not heal at all if you don't have it treated properly.

It is a tendon not a ligament. You may have torn it abit. It may just be bad tendonitous. Go see a good Ortho.

hey man I had acute patellar tendonitis in my knee this summer and it felt like someone was jabbing an icepick into my knee.

Here is a little test... bend your leg so the tendon stretches. Now find the exact middle point of you knee, right at the bottom of the kneecap. Now, does the pain seem more lateral or medial from this point? In other words, push on the outside and inside portions of the tendon. If the outside seems to be the source of the pain, it is a problem with the tendon. If pressure to the inside seems to cause the pain, it is most likely the miniscus.

Obviously, the miniscus injury would be worse.

I had a similar kind of pain and the doctor told me it was called Patella Pain. Don't remember all the details he gave me but I would get it checked out for sure.

ya its on the inside of the CAP.. lemme look up miniscus.

"OMG my arm just got severed off!!! I am bleeding all over the floor and getting dizzy, what should I do guys!??"

If your knee is fucked up and you cant move your sheets with it, go see a doctor - quit asking a bunch of people that can only guess what your problem is. Dont fuck with your health.

Like everyone else is saying see an orthopedic doc. I screwed up my knee a little bit in high school playing football but never had it checked out. Two years later my knee started popping out of joint when I squated down. Had huge ass surgery and couldn't walk for 6 weeks. I am just getting back into squats 7 months later and still having knee problems. If you wait like I did you are only hurting yourself more.
