Knee pain

[Benzilla]

I have been having this weird knee pain for about 2 weeks now, seems like months since most of its been over the summer and i had nothing to do all day beside paly footbag, which i couldn't do due the pain in my knee.

I got it while running in my high school's cross country team and its been hurting like hell. It hurt REALLY bad when i first started feeling pain so i iced it and didn't move around much or run for a while.

The pain started to subside and then came back and hurt almost as bad as when i first got the pains. The pain feels weird, sometimes is a sharp pierceing pain and sometimes it feels like the bones are grinding against each other, and sometimes it doesn't hurt at all.

I was pretty sure it was a bruise from running on uneven ground but it hasn't healed up and itsn't getting better.

I can't just let it rest for a week or so because i have to walk from class to class in school and afterwards i have to run during cross country because my coach is starting to think that im just faking it and am just stretching the injury so i don't have to run.

If anyone has ANY advice i'd really appreciate it because i really want to play footbag again and run during cross country because when it starts hurting when playing footbag or running it stops being fun and becomes more like torture.

Thanks

Go to the doctor. You might have torn a ligament or your meniscus. If it's serious and you don't get it checked out you could have serious problems.

Also, have you been stitching any more?

Actually i have been stitching, my bags have gotten so much better.

I am going to the doctor to get and x-ray of my knee to see if that will show any damage and if not i'll check with my doc.
