I had someone jump guard into the side of my knee; nice popping sound, still aches, but no bruising. If I lock it (say im leaning against wall for example) or wotnot it hurts a bit; thismorning I was bringing some soda out to the car at wally world, and it sorta went gimpy... sorta like when someone hits u in the back of the knee as a joke.

I went to doctor and she said there was no bruising and Xrays didn't show anything bad. Any experience?

Im 38; and I started grappling much later than most; so other than me being "old" lol i was wondering what everyone's experience in this area was, or advice. It happened on Nov 6 (btw I took 3rd Tongue) at a tourney; so itsa bout 3 weeks old now.

well, it sounds like you didn't tear a ligament.

i reckon that your lateral meniscus got smashed, and the medial one got knocked around. if these helpful little cartilage pads didn't tear (more pain, locking joint, more pain, swellin) then time and massage are the remedies.

however, weirdness during a locked knee points toward the cruciate ligaments, maybe the acl or pcl got tweaked in the crash.

after any injury especially the knees, hit up an ice pack.
