so, as some of you may know (rofl), yesterday i was playing rounders in pe, i jumped up high and i came down over my knee. and it was so agonising, i got carried into school and sent home.
so i can't walk on my leg or anything, and i've been to the doctor and he said that i've probably ripped a ligament, and that i should just rest it.
but, it keeps feeling like it's locking, and i don't want to get a really stiff knee, but it also hurts to walk around.
any ideas as to what i can do? cause i have a dancing exam on thursday (amazing timing) and i really don't want to fail..

i did something similiar and i was on crutches for a week. the knee doctor said it can take 2 -6 weeks to heal.. you may have a surface fracture like me. instead of a torn ligament. maybe try to get an appointment with a knee doctor.

when i had ligament damage in my foot i was told exercises to make it stronger again, however this was after a few weeks of resting. i'd get some ice on it like i said & then for some reason docs told me to rest my leg above my head e.g. put some cushions under your leg. i dunno why though :s
oh and also i cured it in the end by using a gel called voteral for inflammtion/pain which was magic

Hazel's solved your problem, although when I tore a ligiment in my leg I did not use that gel stuff.
Just rest for a week or so then try walking on it, no running or jumping
just walking and it should be better in no time.

Same thing has happened to me, just take it easy. :rolleyes:

Your health is more important. Cancel/postpone the exam

I'm not sure, but I think you can get some cream to make it heal faster...
