mareleigh	Yes, you really need to go to the doctor and have the knee checked. Although the ice and rest has helped, there may be more damage than you are aware of. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

dwadefranchizemia03	chances are... you have a VERY slight sprain in your knee which triggered the swelling response. if you go to the doctor, he'll probably move it to see what got hurt and how badly and if it doesn't hurt you and you were able to play basketball after the injury it can't be that bad. he might have you take an x-ray just to make sure your growth plates are unaffected. then he'll probably tell you to just RICE and you'll go home so it's up to you.

favregirl14	You probably just irritated some tissue. It depends where the swelling is but a very common injury in the knee is the tearing of the Miniscus. You can research that if you want to see if it compares. I tore mine playing basketball and I had a choice to get surgery but the doctor said it wouldn't get any worse so I just live with it. I also dislocated my knee cap. That happened when I did a sharp turn. These are just a few of the common injuries of the knee. Hope I helped =). Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
