Knee caps black and blue?

Very bad pain in knee. Could this be floating knee caps and should I see a doctor?

  • So for a few days now, the lower part of my knee will Hurt when I run walk jump on it or if I'm standing and I kinda lunge with that leg. I noticed at cheerleading it started hurting really bad and we only had 2 practices so far. Idk what can be causing this pain because I didn't do anything to it! It's like a sharp pain. My mom got me a knee brace but it won't help. Help me please? ):

  • Answer:

    Hi, I am a physical therapist. Knee pain can be associated with a number of issues including injuries, muscle imbalances, and lower extremity biomechanics. Some simple things you can do to help your knee pain includes using ice (10 minutes at a time), avoid any aggravating activities, and wear appropriate shoes. If the pain continues see an orthopedic doctor and see a physical therapist to evaluate the problem and specifically what the source of your symptoms may be.

It's probably inflammation. Try some ibuprofen. I had that so bad once, I thought I tore ligaments or something. Doctor gave me prescription strength ibuprofen. But I could have just bought some over the counter ones and took more.
