last week i had gone to london to bike
with a friend.
I myself am Bmx'er and i like doin stunts
etc etc.
now what happened was, on the saturday i
had tried a specificstunt which involed
riding across a wall.
on my fourth attempt i had pushed my knee
outwards sort of like that <
it didnt break luckily but did swell up
very badly and it had clicked 3 times.
i went to the hospital and got an x-ray
and results were ok, everything seemed
ok.
just today my knee felt nice, and i went
out biking, and my knee kind of like
pushed out by a tad and clicked one but
didnt hurt that much. i can still bend it
and ride my bike.
but i dunno what to do help heal it, its
still abit swollen.
i hope its not a permant injury to my knee
or anything.
any tips help me knee recover would be
excellant
(i am aware not biking is a good place to
start for it to heal)
any information will help

lol yes, you probably want to stay off
your knee for a while and not biking of
course....if you are doing stunts you
should be wearing knee guards I hope! If
it doesn't hurt then that's a good sign.
I don't know if there is any permanent
damage to your knee, but since you had
x-rays done and they said everything is
ok, then it probably is. You could have
just strained things a bit. In regard to
the swelling the best thing for it is cold
soaks in water. Try doing it about three
times a day. Even once a day will help if
that's all you have time for. You can
also put Epsom salts in the water to help
speed the process.
Just try to get the water as cold as
possible...ice isn't necessary.
