Matt	You have from the sounds of it a torn meniscus. Depending on what you decide to do, it can vary from 2 weeks to 2 months. If you have surgery on it, it will take less time for it to feel better. If you let it be, it could take months for it to heal. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

QueenOfNoise	Yes you should go to the doctor , your health is more important than work . My Mom was experiencing the same things that you are with her knee and she went to the doctor and he took some blood tests and sent her for some x-rays on her knee . I'm sorry i can't let you know whats wrong with her knee at this current moment in time because the x-ray results aren't back yet , but yeah go to the doctors and see what they say . I hope you get your problem solved good luck :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Trey S	Well man, the knee is kind of an important item. The fact that it is "popping" and "giving way" gives me cause for concern. If your knee is popping and there is no pain associated with it, it is usually not a big deal, however if it hurts when it pops, it could be a sign of problems. The giving way is of more concern I think. This is a common sign of a ligament injury and if you put that with the big bruise..... I think you may have screwed up a ligament. All of this means nothing coming from me because I can't see or feel your knee. I do think you probably need to go to the doctor. In order to save some cash, I'd skip the Emergency Room as you will wait an eternity for them to x-ray your knee and send you to an Orthopaedic Surgeon to have it looked at more closely. Best to make an appointment with some sort of occupational medicine/ortho clinic and get straight to the nitty gritty. You'll probably be looking at an X-Ray and then maybe an MRI depending on what they find. Treatment varies greatly depending on what is wrong. Some of the treatments are immobilization in a leg immobilizer, physical therapy, a myriad of surguries depending on the exact problem, and nothing at all but them telling you to stay off it for a bit. All depends. BUT, your knee is a useful puppy and you might need it in the future. Should you go to the doc? YES. IF there is a ligament injury or some other injury and you don't have it taken care of properly, you may be looking at a lifetime of pain, popping, and giving way, followed by finally deciding to have it looked at anyway. Save yourself the hassle and get it checked out. I cut mine with a chainsaw. Had it sewn up and doc in the ER said it would be no big deal. Five years later after it kept popping and giving way I got it looked at by an ortho doc. I had to have surgery to remove scar tissue around my kneecap. It was a quick Arthroscopy involving a camera and a couple other implements of destruction, but I was on my leg the next day with no further problems. Get it looked at man. And good luck. Take a book to read if you don't listen and go to the ER. I'm also an EMT, so go get it looked at. Here's a website I just found that looks pretty good as well. Have a look at it.

singer_musiciangirl	GO TO THE DOCTOR. You could have something seriously wrong with you. I had something similar only in my heel and I did the same thing. I just thought it would go away but it didn't. When I got to the doctor, the osteomilitis I had got much worse just because I waited to go to the doctor. I don't think you want something worse than you might have now, do you? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
